If she were dain- she is now irresistible. In fact, what she may wear it seems ntuate her charms. If one col- s a glow to her cheeks and a &t s to fier eyes, another makes her paler and more spirituelle. No matter how she may be garbed, she is equally alluring to the eyes that follow her in admiration. Now, the fragile looking blonde is mot V v S7RPUNG CoYTRASTI OF ' STREEY COSTYNES ONLY SERVE 70 ACCEN TURTE HER DELICRTE BEAUTYR * always as gentle and timorous as she looks. She is not given to rages that set her darker sisters quivering with excite- ment. She is more apt to be placidly calm ~or aggravatingly so might more aptly express it—with the tenacity of well tem- pered steel, unylelding and firm, despite its lightness. The baby stare then be- “THE BLONDE WrTH THE BABY oS TR comes a direct gase of deflance. The eyes may lack the angry glare of darker orbs, but they are cold and pitiless eyes as they become more fixed In purpose. In the tragedles that at times startle a community, the woman of darker col- oring rarely figures. It is the frail look- ing blonde, a symphony of gentleness with 7N EVENING OREIS, SHE her Madonna-like face, who quietly broods over real ér fancied wrongs and deliber- ately plots revenge. She is rarely impuls- ive, but is slow of wrath and sure of ven- geance, and everyone in amazement speaks of Mer afterward as having been s0 frail and gentle of bearing. There is no denying that the blonde is LOOKS A5 /F SHE I/IGHT sulky and nurses a grievance, while eth- ers more impulsive blurt out and find re- lief in the vent But not so she of the “tow” thatch. She remains calm until such time as she can even things up in & manner that surprises her friends. She ts rarely forgiving, and, though perhaps slower to anger, she is longer In forget- ting its cause. Self-interest may induce ber to palliate a slight, but she does not forget. Her moods are as variable as the changes of coloring of her peautiful face, and her disposition is as full of clouds, shadowing the blue of her eyes, as are the heavens to which they are likened. Her sulky moods extend’over days, dur- ing which time she is very far from being the lovely creature who fascinates in the beginning. Her affections are based on caleu- lating principles that weigh, well the ad- vantages that so strikingly silhouetts & pretty face. The blonde makes & prudent marriage. Her darker sisters more often marry for love—and repent in a dingy flat. Beyond her bady-llke way, with plead- ing baby stare and soft little purrings, the blonde beauty nourishes a spirit that is rigidly determined. She revels in lux- ury, and often secures it at any price. It is the blonde beauty of the stage who, in the majority of instances, mar- ries the effusive scion of wealth and so- cial prestige. It {s the blonde who so often figures In scandals. Her love is of cool, jellied con- sistency, and her hate is as patient, hard and incisive. One rarely sees a blonde whe Is rap- turously enthusiastic. Bhe rarely laughs heartily, but smiles a placid blonds smile, sometimes of weariness, sometimes of dis- gust, occasionally of approval on the en- raptured swaln who is most extravagant in his devoirs. If she has a dash of red in her halr ber nature will be imbued with more warmth; but the purest type of blonde is rarely gifted with much mental Intensity or the qualitfes that are rooted in the heart. She is placid, unruffied, and while she may seemingly have but little depth as far as mental attainments are counted, yet she is sufciently selfish to solve ably ber own life problems. She loves more wisely where her darker siste? loves too well, whether wisely or not. The blonde woman will never dle of & broken heart. She can bury her lover and comfort herself with the knowledge that there ace others. She grows old quickly and the blue of her eyes fades rapidly. Whil s young she is very lovely, but she seidom de- velops into the handsome matron of other types. It a man can humor his blonde divinity and be content with a tepld, lukewarm, matter-of-fact love he will find a blonde woman congenial, but he must be care- ful to keep the incense burning before her shrine at all hours of the day and night. And he must allow her a large- sized cozy corner of selfishness. I have often heard men describe the beautiful blonde woman as having the face of an angel and the heart of a flend, and I do not think that I ever knew a blonde wo- man who was not the embodiment of selfishness. However, I may be mistaken. Many of them are very lovable despite thelr foibles, and a man Is so constituted ‘ that he can love more truly the woman who is beautiful and find even her mean ttle w: interesting than he can an acknowledgedly good woman who runs along & dead level of monotony. The selfish blonde can keep the man busy thinking, at any rate, while he wouid stagnate under the awful straln of mo- notony. Please, gentlemen, you who are in love with the blondes, 4 t all speak at once I have admitted that I may be wrong. But, candidly, when you think it over, don't you really agree th me that blondes are pouty and seifish?
