RED-HAIRED GIRLS
FINEST WAITRESSES LYON’S SHARE. The best girls have red hair, Miss Bacon, who has been selecting waitresses for Lyon’s tea shops since 1903. told a Press representative. She has interviewed more than 300.000 girls—more than the population of Tasmania—and has often seen 200 a day. Lyon’s employ 10,000. “ Red hair brightens everything in the vicinity.” she said. “ Red-haired girls are jolly, and it is harder to depress them. They possess initiative and personalty, and are so accustomed to the cognomen ‘ ginger ’ at school that they have learnt to take abuse good-naturedly, and to look after themselves. “It is very important that a waitress should take growls without being ruffled. The red-haired girls mostly possess a striking appearance, good complexions, and ambition “Brunettes are capable on the average, blondes are very often negative, but we like a few rbout.
“My ambition is to run a tea shop staffed with redhaired girls only—the redder the better.” Miss Bacon herself is not red-haired.
