Company's Offer, if Others Will
Pay More for Them.

In reporting the proceedings of
the city council Tuesday afternoon,

pay for the paving of 1850 square
yards, which is equal to twelve city
blocks. 1t has already been decided to
pave around the city hall and mar
ket house, but the other districts to
be improved have not yet been an

tention to the ract that, while the

Vile paving $2.70 per square yard,
it is at present bidding on similar
work at Corpus Christi at the rate
of 1924 per square yard.

Portable to have red hair in Egypt,
as no one knew whose turn would
come next.
That the Chinese shared this
prejudice against red hair is
proved by their epithet for the
English, whom ,hey called red
haired barbarians" or "red-halred
devils"
The great exception to this rule
among ancient nations is the
Romans, for since the time OF
Nero they have praised red hair
in the highest terms. They pre-
ferred dark red, almost brown,
such as we term auburn, and
modern Romans share this liking.
1t is said that among the patrician
families of Rome and Florence
there is an abnormally large num-
Der of red-haired women. Modern
Greeks share this prediction
with the Romans an they height

wearing dull sold ornaments.
Petrarch's Laura is described as
having had golden red hair. so the
poet wrote:
"The snare was set amidst those
threads of gold
To which Love bound mo fast"
One of the most frequent causes
of the prejudice against red hair

countries to have red hair meant

red is an added beauty from
the artists point of view, tor it
is almost always accompanied by
a beautiful complexion, and the
red-haired woman is the cynosure
of all eyes at the opera or the re-
ception.
Queen Elizabet. considered that
che was most attractive when
wearing red wig, and others
have shared her prediction for
this color, SO that now no one with
a wealth of auburn tresses would
dream of trying TO amer their
