ARE BLONDES REALLY PREFERRED?

[BY JANUARY MOETIMZE.]

Some years ago an English doctor discovered that among nearly a thousand women 78 per cent of the dark-haired were married and that only 88 per cent. of the fair were wives.

- It would seem from these figures" that brunettes are considered more charming than blondes. In Old English "fair" is an adjective meaning beautiful, and it is curious to note that a number of celebrated fair women"'were actually dárk in colouring.

"Bring them occasionally a man of class," I replied, and they will respond, If any good man comes to Hongkong, or say Manila, or within reasonable distance, get him. A good boxing show is like a good theatre, it Dever fails to attract."

He agreed.

A. WARNING TO BACHELORS.

THE RISK OF BECOMING INSANE.

LITTLE DANGER TO MARRIED MEN.

Between the ages of 25 and 53, insanity was nearly three times as prevalent among single men and women as among married men and womenr of the saine age, said Professor G-M. Robertson, deliver- ing the Maudsley lecture to the Royal Medico-Psychological Association, at the headquarters of the British Medical As- sociation, Tavistock-square, W.C.

Warwick: 182 and 96 (for three-

wickets).

Sutcliffe and Rhodes scored 69 and 60 respectively in the Yorkshire innings, while Leyland made a century in good style. He scored 109.

Despite a good stand by Norman Kilner, who made 80 runs, Warwick were dismissed for 18%, leaving Yorkshire 900 ahead. Rhodes took o for

NOTTS. DERBY.

At Nottingham, Notta gained points for a lead on the first innings over Derbyshire. Notts forced the follow-on, but Derby made a splendid recovery and played out time.

The scores were Notts: 300,

Derby 194 and 986 (for eight wkta). Payton treated the Derby bowling being defeated. The only other Notts with scant respect, scoring 133 before batsman to pass the half-century was Shipston who made 55, Garnett Lee, the old Notts cricketer, who now assista Derbyshire, bowled extremely well, tak ing four for 50.

There has been a process of selection among the married, who may be regard- ed as a picked lot (the professor added). Both busband and wife have at least selected one another from among all others, apparently for very good reasons. The cynic has said that the lives of married men are not really.
