julius Caesar was a dark-ha Latin
who suffered this brunette badness early in
life The great Roman Emperor was so self
conscious about this that he took 10 wearing
wreath of laurel leaves on his head to hide
the naked skin where black hair once flour
ished. On all the coins which bear his like
ness this laurel wreath is conspicuous, and
the wreath was adopted by later rulers a
symbol of their office even though the bru-
nette hair on the crown of their head may
not have played them false and departed for
parts unknown.
Superfluous hair is another problem which
posters the brunettes more than il does the
blondes or titians The blonde may have just
as much excess hair growing on places where
it is not wanted, but the light-colored excess
foliage is not as noticeable since the coloring
is neutral. But brunette woman with just
a tiny bit of dark fuzz on her upper lip has
a conspicuous mustache.
With the men folks on the other hand.
this conspicuous tendency of dark hair
patches is advantage, that is if they want
to grow a mustache or a fdll-ngged set of
whiskers Young men who have blonde hair
have trouble growing mustache that looks
like anything more than smudge on the
upper lip while a brunette man can grow
real herman mustache with half the hairs in
it since the black hairs loom up conspicu-
ousy
Naturally the bearded lady at the circus
or freak show has TO be a brunette II she
is blonde the customers have trouble seeing
the superfluous hairs, so the blonde bearded
ladies have to dye their hirsute excess a
dark brown or black so the patrons can see
what they paid for.
Although. badness is a mans affliction
as we'll as a brunette weakness, the complete
loss Of hair from the head, that a wig
has TO be worn, may strike woman espe-
cially II she is brunette.
The loss OF scattered patches Of hair,
known as alopeca, also seems to strike bru-
nette women more than it does the blondes.
Complete loss Of head hair, as after pro-
tracted illness or some forms Of poisoning
is much more likely to befal a brunette than
a blonde. One Of our most triumphant dra-
matte actresses Of the old school, for instance,

tage, however. may cause her to become care
less in her clothes while her rival the blonde,
keeps trim and harmonious appearance since
the blonde has to watch her clothes
These troubles and the few advantages,
associated with brunette hair-coloring and
complexion, are apparently inherited. There
is little the individual can do but to put up
with them and make the most of things under
the circumstances.
The complete brunette has black hair
olive skin and dark brown eyes When both
parents such complete brunettes, then
their children are likely TO have the same
brunette features In this inheritance the
biological genes of the brunette are usually
dominant over the blonde. Thus, when one
parent has black hair. the odds are that the
children will also have dark hair, regardless
Of the other parent being light-haired.
With brunette black eye color the same
dominance holds. If only one of the parents
has brunette black eyes, then the children
will almost certainly have dark eyes
Thus, biologicaly speaking, brunettes are
the dominant race.
Most people perhaps fortunately are not
pure, or complete. brunettes, but rather
mixture of brunette and blonde. A person
with dark hair but blue eyes and light skin
has only touch of brunette qualities.
Likewise, one with dark eyes, but light
brown hair and fair skin is not a complete
brunette-but may be enough of a brunette
to be plagued by greasy nose. higher blood
pressure and migraine headaches.
But as far as temperament or moods are
concerned. brunettes and blondes seem to be
about on a par. There are dizzy brunettes
and serious blondes, gold-digging brunettes
and sacrificing blondes.
When we want to size up character or per-
sonaEty, we must look beneath the hair and
skin for these qualities are more than skin
deep. The skin itself can cause enough
trouble in it's own right without looking for
some non-existent way in which 1t may de-
termine character
Don't assume that by marrying Q blonde
you will get a fun-loving spouse. or q con-
servative one in brunette The person Is

blood pressure much more likely TO
appear in a brunette than in a blonde
In the Southern Medical Journal he re-
vealed that less than one per cent Of patients
with apprehension were blondes-this is
trouble that afficts itself for some puzzling
reason mostly on brunettes.
The complete brunette, the Negro, con-
firms this physiological tendency by having
the highest average blood pressures Of all.
Blondes are lowest. brunettes higher, and
Negroes highest.
Mgraine headaches have long been known
TO be associated with instability Of blood
pressure This is the variety Of headache that
is sometimes called "one-sided" because the
acute pain is usually located on one side or
the other of the head.
It is also known, as sick headache" be-
cause people are often sick at their stomach
while having IL.
1t is also often a dizzy headache" since
things may blurr before the eyes.
This peculiar headache may last for an
entire day. and seriously incapacitates the
person. The pain felt tends to be of boring
or tearing character, as though the skull
itself were gradually being torn apart
People who have this agonizing type of
headache usually have II off and on all
through life. II starts in about the high
school age and stays for years No sure cure
has yet been discovered for it, although some

eminent physicians themselves are victims of
this malady and have devoted much effort
20 finding some relief.
The headaches seem 10 be inherited, just
as hair color and compilations are inherited
And recently DR.. Edward j. Stieglitz
nounced the discovery that the inheritance of
brunette hair was associated with migraine
DR. Stieglitz, who teaches clinical medicine at
the University of Chicago and is an authority
TO be respected found that people afflicted
with migraine headaches almost invariably
had brunette hair which was very fine and
without a natural curl wave
Napoleon, brunette Corsican with stringy
fine hair, was one of the many historical
personages afflicted with migraine II is said
that his defeat at Waterloo due to an
attack of brunette migraine the day pre-
viously which had kept him from making his
usual thorough-going plans. II this be true,
then hair-coor has indirectly swayed the
course Of recent history.
The dark hair itself causes some minor
trouble for the brunettes. Dark hair has
greater proclivity to loosen at the roots and
fall out than does light or red hair.
The result is that brunettes are more
likely 10 become bald
But IL is not brain work that makes them
bald. II Is the natural tendency for the dark
hair to give up the ghost and leave a shining
bare pate behind.

blondes have lots OF troubles due to
~ their blindness.
Night blindness. tender skin. pimply
complexion and tendency TO have twins
are some Of these all too common troubles Of
which the fair-haired folks get more than
their Just share. Not to mention that the
suicide rate is about three times higher
among them.
The titian-haired people, ranging from
dark chestnut TO flaming red in their tresses
have some Of the troubles which beset the
blondes since the redheads are apparently
closer related to the blondes than 10 the bru-
nettes In addition. the carrot-tops have some
problems Of their own.
But before we shed all of our tears for
these people with such unusual hair coloring
II would pay TO take a look at some Of the
things which are most likely to beset the
brlnettes.
The dark haired lads and lassics bc IT
noted have some predsposition toward all
ments and troubles of their own. Scientists
are still puzzling about why this should be,
but the fact remains that there are many
unexpected ways in which hair color, and its
suitable eye hue and complexion shade, are
often associated with disturbing biological
manifestations.
Most people imagine that blondes and
brInettes differ most in their moods and
temperaments Mental testers have been
unable to confirm most Of these popular
beliefs.
The testers have found that few more
5,1Inettes are more conservative. more pa
tient. more deliberate. and that a few more
of the blondes are changeable.
But the careful scientific work of Prof
Donald Paterson, at the University Of Mime
sofa and his colleagues did not disclose any
other significant temperamental differences.
Even the differences Professor Paterson
did find are not very marked between the
light and dark-haired people Incidentally,
Professor Paterson himself would be in the
brunette classification. and If he had had any
bias IL would have doubtless been in favor of
the brunettes
In other respects scientific workers In
various fields have been uncoverng amazing
bits Of information about some of the predi-
lections Of the brunettes which would be diff
cult to believe were 1t not for the integrity Of
the scientists.
DR.. II. MCGUIRE Doles, of the medical serv-
ice of the Norfolk General Hospital, in Vir-
ginia, reported in August, 1910, some of the
biological factors affecting blood pressure.
DR.. Doles found that apprehension, or high

is natural bruBette with a scalp that is as
bereft Of hair as an electric bulb.
Greasy skin is another minor afflction
that is more likely to beset the brunettes.
Especially the nose and forehead are likely to
show this.
Brunettes consequently not only need TO
battle more often to remove the oiliness be-
fore 1t begins TO turn rancid. but also to use
stronger soap Blondes usually need only
mild soap, while many brunettes could well
use strong laundry soap as well as hotter
water and longer scrubbing.
It is the brunettes. also who have to
powder their noses and foreheads many times
during the day TO conceal the grease which
works out steadily, while the blonde is more
likely to be repowdering to cover a pimple
or some other blemish.
Along with badness, or the complete loss
of hair. the brunette also has the greater
concern about thin hair. BY actual count,
brunettes have about thirty per cent fewer
hairs on their supposedly serious dark heads.
This means about $4,000 fewer hairs on the
brunette scalp, on the average.
But it should not be inferred that dark
hair is weak. 1t is much stronger
than light or red hair. The hair
of the average brunette has APP
proximatey half as much tensile
strength as steel of the same size
The brunette's hair, being
stronger than the blondes, means
that the dark-haired person will
get a harder pull when the black
locks get caught on hook or
button In hair-pulling fight
the brunette would thus be at
disadvantage; the lucky blondes
hair would break while the bru-
nette's is more likely to pull the
scalp along with IT,
There is one thing decidedly in
favor Of the brunettes making
life simpler and easier for them
There many colors which do
:" not go well with blond or red
." hair. but almost any color can
be worn by the brunette without
cashing with the color of the
skin hair. or eyes. This advan-
