The Brunette Type.
The brunette type rs becoming mor« numerous in England and on the Continent generally. Mr. Gladstone, who observes most "things, said some years ago that light-ha_red people were far less nHmer©us than in his youth. As a result of an interesting calculation, a scientist has learned Chat 78.6 per oent of the brunettes have husbands, whUe only 68 per cent of the blondes are married. Prom this K appears that a brunette has ten cJhances of being wedded to the nine obemces of the blonde. The scientist goes on to argue that " the English are beoonring darker, because the men persist in selecting the dark -haired women as wives." The same thing is happening in Germany, in Prance, in Switzerland, and elsewhere on the Continent.
