A request has come from one of my
readers for an article on different types
of coloring. She wants to know whether
it is the color of the hair or the skin
tints that class person as a blonde or
brunette?
There are many degrees of blonde
ness and brunetteneSs, but for conven-
fence they may be divided into the fol-
lowing groups:
Blondes.
First. True blondes, with golden hair,
pink and white skin and blue, gray or
brown eyes.
Second. Pale blondes, with golden
hair, pale white or ivory skins and blue,
gray or brown eyes. The difference be-
tween this and the first type is in the
complexion.
Third. The titan blonde, with red
dish-gold hair. white or ivory skin and
eyes of blue, gray or brown.
Fourth The medium blonde, with
light or medium brown hair, medium
complexion and eyes of blue. gray or
brown. This is the commonest type OF
blonde, often called ashen or drab
brown.
Fifth. The olive blonde, with fair,
medium or light brown hair. dark skin
inclined to sallowness and blue, gray or
brown eyes. There is sometimes a
reddish or sandy tinge in the hair.
Brunettes.
First. Fair-skinned type, with dark
or medium brown hair and dark blue,
gray or brown eyes.
Second. Medium skinned type. with
dark, medium brown or black hair and
eyes of dark blue. brown or gray.
Third. Florid brunette, with fair skin
and very rosy cheeks. medium brown or
black hair and blue, brown or gray
eyes
Fourth. Auburn brunette, with chest
nut or auburn hair, medium or ivory
skin and eyes of brown. blue or gray.
Fifth. Olive brunette, with dark
brown or black hair. brown or black
eyes and olive skin with some color.
olive skin, good color, black hair and
dark eyes.
Of course, there are many fine de-
grees of coloring between these types
I have not mentioned green or haze
eyes, but consider them as included
between the brown and the gray. II
is not always easy to classify some
types. For example. an individual with
medium skin, medium brown hair an6
| blue eyes might be placed in the second
group of brunettes or in the fourth
group of blondes. according to the clas-
sification just given. Perhaps 1t would
be more accurate to have three groups
instead of just the two. the third being
intermediate and including all types
with combination of medium or dark
skin with light brown or medium brown
hair.

in others. Have your hair water-waved
or finger-waved. You may use a curl
ing fluid to keep the wave in when
using cold curriers'. The only way to
get rid of the blackheads is to wash
your skin we'll every night with soap
and water. Be very careful to rinse off
ell the soap and dry carefully. Next
pat in lotion made of equal parts of
glycerin, rose water and witch-hazel.
Next morning wash your face in cold
water. dry and apply the lotion again.
An Unhappy Girl: The best advice
can give you is to see a doctor and
ask him to plan reducing program for
you. Excessive overweight is sometimes
due to some internal disturbance that
requires medical attention. Sport shoes
in Oxford styles and light colors would
help make your feet seem larger.
A Constant Watcher: Do not try to
lose weight too quickly, my dear. Two
pounds week is as fast as it is advis-
able to lose. You should consult doc
tor about your reducing program. Do
not take reducing drugs unless he so
advises. do not plan reducing pro-
grams for growing girls because feel
that what reducing they do should be
supervised by a physician. You need
well balanced diet in order to develop
normally

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

March 81, 1S01-The sporting season
opened today, along with the circus, and
there are scenes of sawduSt and arnica
in the land" as one of the local news
paper writer's expresses it.
In the matter of professional sports,
base ball has taken the lead, and the
players are busy preparing for a lively
and long season ahead Of them.
The bicyclists have come out in new
and gay uniforms and, as The Evening
Star puts it, their thin but rapidly
moving legs can be seen daShing over
asphalt pavements every afternoon"
From the present outlook" adds The
Star, "the fashion in bicycling uniforms
will be of the gaudiest and the boys are
going to cut the swells on wheels"
The boat clubs. which provide the
other most popular amateur sport in
this city besides bicycling, are prepar-
ing soon to begin their activities. They
are getting their boats in condition and
expect to spread over the river in this
vicinity, as usual, in pleasure jaunts and
sporting races.
A new amusement in this city is
roller skating This is the peculiar
province of the younger element. The
streets are crowded with boys and girls
every fine day on rollers.
There are still other signs of Spring.
At noon today the District Commission
ers opened bids for a gate-chamber and
sluiceway for a new carp pond to be
constructed at the foot of Seventeenth
street; also for the removal of the old
canal wall on the west side of the carp
pond which lies above the floor OF the
pond and the rip-rapping of the river
front on the south bank of the pond,
the same to be replaced by stone from
the old canal wall.
The canal wall is to be cons ructed
of concrete. lined with brick, on foun-
dation of hydraulic cement concrete
The ponds when completed will cover
an area of ~ acres and will add ma
terially to the work of the Fish Com
mission in this city. Congress has pro-
vided the money for the work, which
will be under the SUPPLEMENTARY of the
city engineers.
Water is being let into the lowest
level of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal
today at Georgetown and tomorrow
boats are expected to arrive there from
up-river loaded with coal, lumber and
farm produce.

NANCY PACE
Cheese Souflle Is a Spring
time Dish.
By FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Lois was planning Springtime din
ner for Roger. She wanted 1t to be
good. from start to finish: not too heavy
and varied in texture and flavor from
course to course. She had learned that
a meal which had one course after an
other with a decided flavor in each
course was poorly planned. She found,
too, that a soft meal where nothing re-
quired any chewing was most monoto-
nous. Two creamed dishes did not be-
long in the same meal, nor did two
pastry dishes. A patty shell and pie
are not good companions in well
chosen dinner.
This Is her menu:
Potato and Leek Soup.
Cheese Souff1e. French Rolls.
Orange and Green Pepper Salad
Rhubarb Tarts. Coffee.
Her souffie was easily made. She
chose the recipe which calls for small
amount of granulated tapioca. This
kept the souffle from falling and gave
it a certain body. This Is her recipe:
Three tablespoons granulated tapioca,
one cup milk, one cup grated cheese.
three eggs, one teaspoon salt, one-eighth
teaspoon dry mustard, one teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce, few grains
pepper.
double boiler. Cook until tapioca is
transparent. Add grated cheese, sea-
sonings. Cool and add egg yolks. mix
WELL fold in stiff1y beaten whites, bake
in casserole in oven of moderate heat,
$50 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake slowly
for so minutes. Serve at once.

Hate and revenge are usually re-
garded as immoral. That Is due TO the
fact that times have changed. Time
was when these traits were regarded
as most valuable and were richly re-
warded by society instead OF being pun
ished, as now.
In the primitive, tribal condition OF
savage life, anger, hate and revenge
were regarded as highly moral, because
they benefited the group. These emo
lions were directed against the enemies
of the tribe and helped 1t to survive
Such traits made the warriors OF the
tribe better fighters, causing enemies 10
beware of them.
But when the tribe developed into a
very large nation, anger hate and re-
yenge became directed against members
injurious, instead of beneficial, as be-
fore. They worked against the group.
Consequently. they were stamped as i'm
moral and came under the general So
cial ban, the list of taboos.
Moreover, these traits have lost their
usefulness for purposes of protection to
the group: Policemen and courts were
established to accomplish the functions
previously relegated to anger, hate and
revenge in the individual.
But even now it is considered a moral
obligation to hate an enemy in war
This shows clearly the origin and use
of the traits.
Perhaps some one will point out how
inconsistent modern society is. We do
everything in our power to weed out,
kill and destroy hate and revenge in
the individual by the combined force
of all our social institutions of the
home, the church. the government and
all the rest. But on sudden, we enter

praisal of said seekers character. Some
of the questions are rather absurd. The

YOU pay more attention to other peo-
