auburn

It can’t be denied your hair is terrible red; but I knew a girl once--went to school with her, in fact--whose hair was every mite as red as yours when she was young, but when she grew up it darkened to a real handsome auburn.

Oh, I could endure anything if I only thought my hair would be a handsome auburn when I grew up.

It would be so much easier to be good if one’s hair was a handsome auburn, don’t you think?

Do you suppose my hair will really be a handsome auburn when I grow up?”
