Raymond Hitchcock, the actor, is credited with telling this little story: I was a pasenger aboard a trans-at-lantic liner one rough voyage when everyone had to abandon the deck for two days, and we became like a big family party in the cabin; in fact, a stag party, for the women were not among those present. Nearly every nation was represented, and we had considerable fun with a French count who was something of a dandy. At length one of the boys addressed him facetiously: “I say, Count,'if you were to choose an American bride, what style would appeal to you, a girl with brown eyes and brown hair, a girl with black hair and gray eyes, or a girl with red hair and blue eyes?” The Count thought for a minute, shrugged his shoulders and answered indifferently: “Ah, monsieur, I care not so much for ze color of ze eye or ze color of ze hair, so long as she have ze green back.”
