Red Hair and Success.

In one of the current notes of the
book mart we find the statement
that according to scientific au-
thority. red-haired people are much
more successful in business, in art
or in love, than either blondes or
brunettes." The authority" we
suspect, is our old friend, Anon
who can be depended upon TO rem
der opinions with all the aplomb
and complaisance ordinarily attrib-
uted TO a municipal law department,
But an explanation goes with the
statement;
"The secret seems to be that per
sons of this coIoring and tenpera-
ment are usually of the same tenn
permanent and character. They are
persevering, quicll-witted, alert and
they love and hate so fiercely that
they are likely to have as much
romance and tragedy in their lives
as is desirable
The last part OF the expansion
suggests that the author must be
the gentle jollier responsible for
tle fortune-teIers cards, which the
smiling lady with the raven locks
used to dispose of with the assist
ance of a reluctant canary. you
win have trouble. but You viii also
have success" 1t was ever a dead
sure tip.
4 scientific aurl 1TltE capable OF
demonstrating that persons Of any
particular color have the same tenn
permanent and character should not
be permitted TO remain in the
ANONYMOUS class. But there is one
thing about the first general state
ment that deserves attention. The
author shrewdly made no boast that
persons of that favorite coloring
are ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in poll
tics. The inconspicuousness of the
red-haired statesman is one of the
curiosities of our political life.

Christmas eve brought a tremendous
crowd in the retail streets, notwith-

of the fun making genus. Shopping
was almost forgotten until ten O'Clock,

at all suddenly remembered the duty.
Street cars running an hour later than
usual were crowded all the evening
Moving picture theatres were overflow

Large congregations attended the va
rious church services on Christmas. At
the fourth services in st. Andrews
cathedral, at 1920, Bishop Reatarick
preached. He urged the Importance
to the Episcopal church of maintain
ing the religious character of Christ
mas against the tendency to make it a
secular holiday. No other church
made the divinity of Christ so pro-
minent in its order of worship. This
was the central doctrine Christ him
self preached. Christ, unlike the
founders of other religions gave the
world a very small body of doctrine.
He proclaimed that he was the Light
and the Life of the world, the Son of
God, besides which his teachings diff
ferentiated from those of other great
teachers were few. Amidst the abound
ing liberalism of thinking, the divinity
of Christ yet held the mind of man
