Now th a t this problem , which long baffled th e o rd in ary psychologist, has been solved, perhaps we shall soon learn why " Gentlem en P refer Blondes," but W ho as a rule, m arry brunettes. We m ay also procure some needed inform ation as to why it is th a t over seventy-five per cent, of the inm ates of insane asylum s are of the blue-eyed blonde type.
