One of the largest stores in America recently advertised for “ red-haired girls ” to take charge of the luncheon room. When asked the reason for this the manager replied : —“ Because the red-haired girl is more optimistic, and adaptable than any other kind of girl. She is generally gifted with a clear complexion, and is always the picture of neatness. No one ever heard of a lazy, red-haired girl. She is quick-witted and cheerful, and all men particularly appreciate these qualities, while one with brown or golden tresses will go by unnoticed. I advertised for redhaired girls because I firmly believe they are more likely to have the characteristics we consider valuable than girls with hair of any other colour.”
