NEW YORK, Sept. 5—The blondes are doomed as a result of the werld war! Real blonde Americans are be coming fewer. American women are tending to a neutral type, with brown rather than golden hair, and brown eyes instead of blue. This foreshadows the triumph of the still darker brunette type in America, where the old strains of Northern Bi pean blood are being swallowed by the later immigration to this country. Seow a blonde beauty will be an exception, and “Amer. jean beauty” will mean the Span. ish, French, or Italian type.
