be what was under the skull, not
on it. What l should worry about
would be the color of her thoughts,
and whether her ideas were straight
or crooked, homegrown or bought.
wouldn't bother about the color
Of a girls hair, because I would
know that no matter what color 1t
was when I married her, in a few
years time it would fade to a griz-
zled gray and then turn white, and
1 should feel that an advantage so
| transient as the coloring matter in
hair tube was not to be consid-
cred in making a life bargain.
But the thing that I would try my
best to find out would be what quail
ity of brains was in the girls head
and whether she would make the
kind Of a wife who Keeps a man in
terested. alert, and alive as long as
he lives. or who Is so dull that she
bores him into a state Of coma by
the time the honeymoon is over.
When one is married, one Is gem
orally married a long, long time, and
1t seems longer II your wife's con-
versational repertoire only comprises
the Kitchen, the nursery, the price
Of butchers meat, and the small do
ings OF her limited circle. A woman
who never reads. who, never thinks,
| who never has new idea, who never
understands. and whose husband has
to talk to her In words Of one syl-
liable, Is just as afflicting q life COM
pannion with ones hued hair as an
other.
Therefore. IL I were a man, when
went ACQUIRING l should not nav
| much attention to how many cute
ways girl knew how to comb her
hair. or IL she always had her locks
done up in the latest thing in coif-
fure, nor should I be beguiled by
her wearing a rose tucked among
her curjs. The thing I would be
looking out for would be to see how
many new and interesting sidelights
she could throw on any old tonic
OF conversation, and IL she under
stood the war news and could dis
cuss the latest novel, and whether
she wore the flower Of sentiment in
her soul.
would know that I would grow
tired in time Of looking at mere hair,
but that a wife who would keep me
entertained would keep me enthralled
to the end Of the chapter. Her hair
might grow old and gray and thin.

fuller all the time.

system. and who lived her life ac-
cording to q cut paper plan. and
forced everybody about her to do the
same way.
Life is so full Of things over which
We must either laugh or cry. and
only those are happy who see the
comedy of little mishaps and mis-
adventures, that the literal minded
turn into tragedy for themselves and
all about them.
Therefore, II l were a man. in choos-
ing my life companion / would be
far more interested in the funny

/ should pick out q gil who could
take a rainy day as a Joke, instead
OF a dispensation OF providence.
should pick out one who could ger
some real fun out OF the adventures
OF poverty, instead OF regarding her
self as a martyr because she wasn't
a millionaire. and who could laugh
and make fiivver jokes in a cheap,
hired automobile instead of bewailins
her fate because she wasn't rolling
around in a Limousine. and, especially
should try to get a wife who would
look upon my faults and short COM
ings as humorous eccentricities OF
lovable personality instead OF regard
ing them as evidences of total human
depravity.
I would rather have a wife who
was as bald as a poll parrot and who
had q Jolly, sweet-tempered. easy
going disposition. than q wife who
had hair enough TO make q hair mat
tress coupled with q sour, nagging
temper and a tendency to take a pes
simistic view of the world. 1t is the
way a woman's lips curl at the cor
ners when she smiles that a man
should watch out for, rather than the
way her locks curl at the temple.
And IL were a man hunting
wife, I would try to find out the color
OF a girls ideas about marriage.

side of the altar, whether she re-
garded matrimony as a graft or as q
partnership. I should like to know

vide the money for his wife 10 spend.
or whether she considered that when
q woman married she was in honor
bound to work shoulder by shoulder
with him, and bear her half of the
domestic load.

woman that ] should consider more
important than her hair. IL I were a

The Washington herald., 1918-08-05

A man wants to know which makes
the better wife, blonde or bru-
nette, and whether / would choose a
woman with golden locks or raven
tresses for a life companion.
II were a man I suppose I should
choose a wife whose hair was the op-
posite color to my own. II I were a
swarthy man my taste would be apt
to run to dizzy blondes, whereas, II

IL were a man hope the good Lord
would give me sense enough to be
more interested In the inside furnish
ings of the head of the woman j was
proposing to spend the balance Of my
life with, than with the mere out
side adornment.
So far as the old superstition goes
that the color of a woman's hair and
skin is an indication of her character,
It Is all fudge and nonsense. There Is
a tradition that blondes are true and
tender, gentle and meek, and that
brunettes are fiery and passionate,
jealous and stormy tempered. But
ones own observation and experience
does not bear out these theories. We
all know golden-headed female devils
who make the lives Of all with whom
they come in contact an earthly pur-
gatory, and we are well acquainted
with black-haired angels who bless
every spot upon which they tread.
The meanest, cruelest. most abso-
lutely selfish and grasping woman 1
have ever met Is a frail little creature
with a peaches and cream complex
ion, eyes that look like violets drench-
ed in dew, and with little soft ten
drills of fair hair curling about her
infanti1e brow.
And the nobiest, the most self-sac-
rifcing. the most generous woman
with the biggest heart and the widest
sympathies that know, has Jet black
hair, swapping black eyes. and the
Jaw of a prize fighter.

sitions, and you will see that the
