So. q good deal depends upon the manner

Then. there are SO many kinds Of blondes
There is the born blonde and the blonde by

been so recently naturalixed as blondes that
the color does not seem TO at, while others
are such old offenders that they don't care
what the neighbors say. Blonde hair has
one great advantage over brunette hair in
that IT does not show gray so distinctly.
Altogether. blonde ladies are very proud

or out of 1t, why a scrawny blonde with
frowsy clothes should be preferred to a
brunette who Is adequately fed and takes

other hand 1t is conceivable that In some
circumstances a blonde might be preferred
to a brunette.
But the blonde-brunette problem Is per-
picking one. and ladies who have been both

Blonde or BrunetteP

There is a revival of controversy over the
relative merit of the blonde and brunette.
Mai, Charles L. woodruff, surgeon In the
United States army, believes In the superb
ority OF the blonde.
II is difficult question Most men at
some time in their life have preferred a
blonde and at some other time brunette.
Some men have no doubt endeavored to
prefer both a blonde and q brunette at the
same time but efforts of this kind are
fraught with danger and have been known
to cause trouble.
Almost as much depends upon the manner
of lady as upon the color of her hair and
both are changeable. A blonde who will let
a man talk big. encourage him to talk about
himself, make him feel that he is the whole
thing and otherwise tickle his vanity is apt
to he preferred to the brunette who makes
man feel that he Is only FIVE feet TALL
