Dissertation on Blondes and Fact s
They Are Disappearing From Stage
Which Prompts the Queries, What Is a Blonde and Why Is a
Blonde? About Both of Which Scientists Disagree.
A large amount of argument, pro
and con, has followed the statement
made recently that blond chorus girls
are disappearing from the stage. Nat
urally enough, every one who hap
pens to know a blonde, who has ever
encountered a blonde, or who has a
particular, special admiration for a
blonde, is ready to take up the ar
gumentative cudgel In opposition to
the statement. On the other hand, it
Is reasonably certain that cynical per
sons with a penchant for splitting
hairs will- agree with the statement,
and be ready to back their side of
the case by pointing' to the many so
called blondes who are not blondes at
alt but merely make-believes devised
through chemical processes. As to
that, however, it is often a question
of opinion.
From time immemorial, however,
the heroine with the golden tresses
has won a large share of the pleas
antly appreciative things the world
flings at the- heads of its ideals. And
the mere fact that many women have
taken some pains to produce these
golden tresses' through artificial
means would indicate clearly enough !
mat tne blond state is one that wins
Us own share of admiration.
Why a blonde Is not something else
has been argued repeatedly by physi
ologists. An old theory had It that
light hair had more oxygen and sul
phur In it than darker hair; red locks
were attributed to persons having: a
plentiful supply of iron and brown hair
was supposed to have a lot of carbon
as the predominating element Then
came along a Bohemian professor who
made It quite clea-tbat bair colors
and hide colors are unit characters
and have nothing to do with chemi
cals at all. And Professors Castle of
Harvard, Jennings and Most of Johns
Hopkins and Te Vries of Holland have
verified these facts. Another Investi
gator, Dr. J. 8. Mcintosh of New York,
states that the blonde Is less able to
remain vigorous in large cities and
crowded places than the brunette, and
this he attributes to the descent of
hereditary traits from his space-loving
and sea-loving Saxon and Danish an
cestors. The blonde, it is said, suf
fers nervous breakdown when confined
in a factory and workshop under con
ditions which have no effect on the
brunette.
But whatever the . cause. It is cer
tainly true that- In this country the
blonde nowadays is less conspicuously
numerical, however vividly she may
Impress herself upon the eye when
she does appear. It is pointed out,
however, that though the blonde may
be admired she may disappear entire
ly. And it is no new fact that the
scarcity of any article Is likely to in
crease its popularity. One writer in
trying to make out a particular case
recently said:
"It Is a well known fact that if all
the young apples but one are taken
from the tree and that one allowed to
grow and ripen, it will become In time
a prise specimen. And the process of
elimination seems to have the same
effect on blondes. The transfusion of
foreign blood into the natural Ameri
can stock, the giving and taking in
marriage of Latin races, has resulted
in a richly beautiful newer race of
dark-haired men and women in this
country."' But occasionally the blonde
type has been pronounced enough to
stand out against the invading" forces.
Wind" in "Who's Guilty" aeries.
player in "Jlllady's Slipper."
In such cases it is like the one appte
on the tree a perfect fruit, a prize
getter so to speak, like Flora Otis of
Covent Garden, for example, who Is
pronounced by Harrison Fisber, the
painter and illustrator, as the "perfect
type of blonde beauty." Mr. Fisher Is
in a position to know, for Miss Otis
has posed for him.
That Miss Otis is not only a clever
woman as well as being a beautiful
one, is indicated by the skillful way
in which she parries a compliment.
Some one had alluded to Mr. Fisher's
remark about her.
"When people say things like that
to my face," she said, "I am Inclined
to remember the occasion on which
George Bernard Shaw was called be
fore the curtain. During a lull in the
applause one man in the bit 'booed.'
Whereupon Mr. Shaw addressed htm
thus: 'I quite agree with you, my
good man, but what are you and 1
against so many? "
Discussing the alleged temperament
al difference in light and dark wom
en. Miss Otis added that though the
blonde is generally supposed to be the
more phlegmatic, shedid not Incline
to the theory. "I wish it were so," she
Baid, "for it would make life so much
more comfortable for us. But if the
individual experience is any proof of a
general proposition, I should say that
we are not the least bit different from
other people. I imagine that we have
about the same likes and dislikes, am
bitions and the same difficulties to
overcome."
History is full of blondes. Helen of
Troy is reputed to have been a blonde.
Homer's story seems to have borne out
the tradition. Catherine I of Russia
is one conspicuous case in history who
was a blonde naturally, but used arti
ficial means to transform herself into
a brunette.
Scientists have a theory as to how
all these blondes happened. A writer
in a Smithsonian report says that 5000
years before the Christian era a ter
rific cold spell smote the earth and so
checked the development of cutaneous
and capillary pigment that skin and
hair in the regions of the earth that
were particularly affected were perma
nently bleached. Other scientists have
considered blondeness in Its relation to
character and temperament. Charles
Karrell. writing In the Popular Science
Monthly, said: "The typical "man of
genius Is blonde, with the exception of
the hair, which is dark, fine and In
clined to wavlness." Under tbe defini
tion it would be interestingi to know
how Professor Karrell would explain
Paderewskl with his very considerable
shock of distinctly light hair.
From all of which the only conclu
sion to reach Is that it is not safe to
generalise on such matters. There are
too many exceptions.

Foote's Mimicry Was
Much Too Excellent
And One Who Besented Comedian's
Impersonations Only Wished Xe
Hadn't Tried Retaliation.
In a recent collection of anecdotes
of famous mimics, there Is an amus
ing story of the celebrated comedian,
Foote. While playing in Dublin, Footo
introduced a scene In which be mim
icked the carriage, speech and personal
peculiarities of several local celeb
rities. The Imitations, although pre
sented with a touch of caricature, were
not ill-natured, and most of the vic
tims accepted the Jest at their expense
without protest, if they did not wholly
enjoy it.
But there was one. a widely known
printer, with several ludicrous little
oddities of manner, who angrily re
sented both seeing himself as others
saw him and being a source of public
amusement. He resolved to put a stop
to the clever actor's Impudence. -Collecting
a score or more of street urMi
ins, he treated them to a supper, gave
them each a shilling to buy a seat In
the gallery, and promised them anoth
er treat the next day if they would
hiss Foote off the stage. They prom
ised with glee; but his friends who at
tended the performance that night re
ported that not a hiss was to be heard;
on the contrary, the obnoxious scene
of mimicry was received with more
boisterous applause than ever.
Naturally, the man was disappoint
ed; when, the next morning, the troop
of boys turned up in exuberant spirits,
clamorously demanding the promised
reward, he repudiated the claim, and
heaped reproaches upon their falthless
nes. They, in turn, were indignant
ami reproachful.
"Plate, yer honor, we did all we
could." explained their spokesman,
"for the actor man had heard of us.
and did not come at all, at all. -And
so we had nobody to hiss. But when
we saw yer honor's own dear self come
on, 'we did clap and clap and clap, and
showed you all the respect and honor
In our power; sure, yer honor must
have seen and heard? And so yer
honor won't forget us because yer
honor's enemy was afraid to come, and
left yer honor to yer own dear self?"
