CONSTANT READER. Conn., 9, 1915. New Britain, Nov. To the Iditor of the Herald: Sir: In Saturday’s Herald I read an editorial entitled: “Playing the same,” in which stated that ‘“no nan with red hair is handsome.” To my mind that Is a pretty broad asser- tion. Personally T know of many men who have red hair and while some agre not what yvou would call good looking, many of them are hand- come. Some of the best specimens of manhood are red haired men.

To the KEditor of the Herald: I want to say a word or iwo in re- gard to one of your edito which appeared in last Saturday's issue, under the heading: “Playing the Game.” In speaking of a gambler who migrated to Mexico and there ‘laid low” six men you go on to tell how square he was and what a true shot he was, and furthermore you say that in this day of moving pic- | ture heroes, he would not be counted as a handsome man, for to begin with, he was red-headed, and therefore not handsome, for no man with red hair | is handsome. This T want to emphatically deny. If you will look up history in the carly ages you will find that the fair ons who came to this country under the guidance of Lief Erickson, a Norwegian explorer, were ‘red- heads.” In a description of the men | it states that they were a rough and | toughened sca-going crew, but hand- some to look upon,—tall, muscular | and with reddish-colored hair.

One of the great fundamental han- dicaps to right conditions in a mod- ern city is the lack of home training and home conditions. In the space that might support a hundred homes there are ten thousand men, women and children huddled and living in a ever contracting cirele. In cach one of these at some time or other the de- sire to have a home burns bright but they lack the courage to take fhe plunge. The pioneer souls of their an- cestors have not survived to the pres- ent generation. To those unfortunate who never had a home in the sense our Amherst philosopher means it his epigram means little. But to the person who has had the benefit of the home training and environment, it means the best there is in life.
