Avenue. I found Nine. CaiIle at the
Appraisers Building, at the corner OF
Christopher and Washington Streets,
patiently struggling to get her treas
ures passed" for this exhibition, which
Is just opening.
THE Partisan, the Frenchman, ANY
man." declared Nine. Caille, believes
that the blonde is the most beautiful
creature on earth, and that all angels
in heaven will be blondes. But in
Paris, especially. the blonde Is almost
as scarce as she is precious. The
typical FrenchwOman, you know, iB
brunette-olive skin, dark eyes, dark
hair-brunette and petite. That is
the Latin type. On two frontiers, the
Spanish and the Italian, the native
French brunette has intermarried
with the Italian brunette, the Spanish
brunette, and the result is an intensi-
fed brunette beauty.
I'm the North of France, in Brittany
and Normandy, there are many
blondes. Much of the artificial blonde
hair comes from the heads OF lovely
peasant girls in this part of the coun-
try. They are greatly admired by
their countrymen.
''The supremely beautiful woman.
from the Partisan point of view, is the
tall, stately, classic blonde with a
Grecian profile and a regal bearing.
Some of the most beautiful women
the city has ever known have been
blondes. There Is the wonderfully
lovely Georgette Leblanc, the first
Nine. Maeterlnck There is the
woman whom consider the greatest
beauty in Paris to-day, Nine Gabrielle
Robinne of the Comedie Franchise.
There Is another radiant blonde at
the same theatre, Mile. Cecile. Sorel.
There was tho late Gaby Deslys:
but which do you yourself con-
slider more beautiful, the blonde OF
the brunette?" 1 asked Nine. Caille.
She really can be impartial about IL
for she has tawny golden brown hair,
tawny eyes that almost match 1t and
a skin like a red russet apple She
Is not a classic blonde, but neither
Is she a midnight brunette.
"Oh. I prefer the brunette type"
she replied frankly. 1T has so much
more expression, animation. intelli.
gence-in the majority of cases, !
mean There is a sparkle In dark
eyes, a flush in olive cheeks, a vital
ity and warmth about the dark
beauty which rarely characterize the
blonde.
''The brunette, too, is usually much
more loyal and affectionate than the
blonde. The latter need be nothing
else except blonde in order to please;
she need not be witty or true or even
passionate. Consequently, she often
Is not characterized by any OF these
qualities; she is cold and selfish and
conceited. She permits men to adore
her, whereas the brunette knows how
to love. She would make a man much
more happy-yet he follows the lure
of the blonde as a moth follows the
candle flame,
"Oh, we have our artificial blondes
in Paris, as you say you have in New
York" Nine. Caille smilingly an
swered another question. But tha
sort OF blondness is seldom a sue
