A fragmented Chicago Tribune piece mocks hair reading by color and texture to infer character, linking black, golden, and red hair to temperaments and love traits. It traces a long catalog of hair types, eyes, and complexion notes, concluding with a curious anecdote about a church elder and adulterated wine.

It notes some firms limit transactions to men, yet many banks and brokers prefer reliable clients, with women proving capable and increasingly integrated in business. The piece cites Agnes K. Murphy and a Brooklyn law firm as examples and discusses misapprehensions about women borrowers.
