' ‘With the hope of sustaining interest in dancing and at the same time settle once and for all the problem of whether gentlemen prefer blondes or brunettes, a well known personality in the London dance work is considering a'novel plan. It is to hold two dances, one for blondes only and one for brunettes. A number of “gentlemen” would attend both dances and after- ward express their opinions as to whether they really prefer ladies of light or dark complexions. The origi- nator of the plan feels sure that the blondes would be overwhelmingly de- feated. HOW WOULD YOU selves.
