she can.” Mrs. Murphy says. “They
usually have a pretty good fighting
spirit too.”
A recent survey showed some 50
red haired students at T. C. U.

other observes: ‘‘I am satisfied with
my red hair, but it is hard to keep
freckles off and to get* colors to
match my complexion and hair."
‘ More girls sem to like red hair
than do men,” one girl comnlains.
About a quick temper going with
red hair, one who possesses it says:
"I don not know that a read headed
person has more temper than any
one else, but they have always been
told that they do. so they decide
that because of the color of their
hair they have a special privilege to
display temper.”

rather individual.” says Mrs. Sadie
