ARE The BLONDES
TO DISAPPEAR?

The somewhat startling statement
has been made that the blue-eyed,
golden-haired and hght-complexioned
variety of the human race is IN the
course of extinction and that within a
few more generations blondes are ike
ly to become so rare in the world
population that they may be looked
upon as curiosities, somewhat as
A1binos are to-day. The blonde type
has been so often chosen by artists
and poets to represent their noblest
conceptions of human beauty that no
one can regard even the bare sugges-
ton of its extinction without dismay.
Moreover, some Of the worlds great
est races and many of its most MASTER
full personalities have belonged to this
type, and it's admirers have sometimes,
gone so far as to aver that light COM
plexions and in particularly light
colered eyes, are the favored livery Of
the highest genius.
This is undoubtedly an extreme and
untenable claim, yet 1T cannot be de-
MED that history shows an extraordi-
nary number of men and women of
the first rank in all the higher fields
of intellect who possessed the char
acteristic marks of the blonde, and
this not only in coutnries where the
light type prevails. but also in lands
like Italy, where the general complex
ion Of the population is dark.-Suc-

HE French Opera House was
ablaze with light Outside an
eager crowd drank in the beau
ties that alighted from carriages
and ran lightly up the stairway
to gorgeous palace of light within.
Suddenly there was a stir. Madam
Lafayette drove up. Her gray-haired
coachman climbed ponderously down
and threw open the door for Madam
to alight. In her ancient black silk
dress, with its voluminous train and
decorations of rare old lace, she might
have passed for a dowager duchess.
She was followed by slim slip of a
girl in white dress that bespoke
Madam's ,ante- -bellum ideas of style.
"Ah, there ees Lucien now," Madam
breathed In an agitated tone of relief
as an old man quickly pushed his way
through the crowd to her side. The
three passed UP the broad stairs and
disappeared within.
None of the carnival balls is more
gorgeous than Proteus. And to the
girl who was seeing it for the first
time the scene was of Arabian Night
splendor. She was leaning on her ell
bow, drinking in all the tropical
beauty in the ballroom below The
maskers fitted to and fro, bestowing
favors on expectant maidens, waiting
to be called out
A very gorgeous young Romeo
leaned against friendly column near
the throne on the stage below and
surveyed the crowd with Indifferent
eyes. 1t was such an old thing to
him-he was tired of it all. Buds,
buds, buds!" he muttered to himself.
The years come; the years go
Suddenly his eyes rested on stately
Madam Lafayette. 1t was the first
time in ten years that she had attended
a carnival ball. What did 1t mean?
Since the death of Gerald, her youngest
son, ten years before, she had not crossed
her threshold to go out into the world.
Gerald had been his dearest friend.
He must hasten to pay his respects to
Madam. And then his eyes fell on the
girl beside her. 1t was a face like
wild rosa face that told it's own
story. This was her first carnival ball,
and she was living only in seeing the
others enjoy it. She leaned far over
the railing of the box and kept time
unconsciously with the music of the
waltz Madam's old place had been
usurped. Ten years ago her box would
have been crowded. Now it was empty,
except for the three-herself, her an
cient brother and the young girl.
Romeo saw at a glance that Madam
regretted having come.
He forgot his ennui in the sudden
scheme that presented itself to his
mind. He would make the little wild
rose enjoy herself. He beckoned to
an usher who knew Madam and con-
fded in him. A whispered consulta-
ton provided for possible disap-
pointment. Then the sympathetic old
man who had called OUT so many
bellies wended his way upstairs to
bring the little wild rose down.
Madam remembered him. Had he
not been on the committee for years?
She presented him to her niece, Eu-
genie del Fete. He delivered his mes
sage! He had been commanded by
Romeo of the most noble house of
Montague to come for the young lady
who accompanied Madam. Surely she
would not disappoint so noble a youth
whose evenings pleasure lay in the
prospect of being allowed to honor
her with his attentions. Madam was

WOMEN'S CRUELTY

Mrs. Reginald DeKoven at dinner
In Washington adverted to cruelty.
Women can be very cruel,'' she
said. Some of them can be very cum
ming, too. Some of them can wound
you so dextrously that before you
know you have been wounded their es-
cape is made.
Once saw young woman wound
slightly older one in that way. She
approached the Older one at ball. She
greeted her with a radiant smile. She
inflicted her wound, and while her vic
tim still thought the wound a conlpli-
ment she walked away. This is what.
in a very loud, clear voice, she said:
Oh, Helen, dear, that perfect gown!
think it looks lovelier every year. -
