BLONDS ARE BROW-BEATEN

BY “YANK” CLERGYMAN. There is at least one "gentleman who does not prefer blondes.” and strangely enough he is of the kame name as Anita Loos the author of the much-quoted book. He is the Rev. K. V. Loos, of Liberty, Missouri, who claims to have married 4,500 couples, and has started a discussion which has spread through, out his country, by publicly declaring that golden-haired girls were the stupidest of all those who came before him. His words, as reported, were: “The red-headed girl always seems to have the attitude of ‘Here’s my man, tie him to me.’ The brunette is serious, and seems to take the ceremony more to heart. But th© most foolish bride, who often seems to wonder what it is all about, is the blonde.” Noted blonde beauties in New York have expressed their indignation, while others cynically observe that the use of chemical hair-washes makes it jiawise to judge a girl by the colour of her hair. Still, that is only one man’s opinion—certainIv a courageous mtwi to express it—and the poor “blonde babies” cannot be condemned on one judgment.’
