As to Costume.
Among the many queries that have
come 10 The Sunday Times in connec-
ton with this greatest OF all beauty
contests is the question whether sim
plicity or gorgeousness Of attire IS the
most effective This is a matter which
should be settled by the judgment OF
those sending in the photographs Of
their friends. To one style OF beauty
simplicity Of dress, is most appropriate,
while to others richness is valuable.
In the photograph which won her the
Chicago prize. Miss Della Carson wore
a white shirt waist, with a dark tie
done in a sailors knot at her throat.
Mrs. Millie Greenberg. the fifth in the
line. Wore "A plain street dress, her hat
being almost severely simple. On the
other hand, Lady Beatrice POlC-Carew's S
photographs showed her in the London
sleeves.
In Philadelphia, one Of the many cities
Where these local contests are being
conducted, most Of the photographs so
lar reproduced show the subjects in
evening dress. On such a subject no
nard and fast rule can be laid down
The prime thing to strive for is natural
ness II n woman is beautiful and is
photographed in natural dress and nose

tice.
Among the photographs received thus
far by The sunday Times the costumes
are about evenly divided between or
d.nary street dress and evening dress
The same thing applies to half 4 dOZap
or the other cities where beauty contests
are now going on
No Limit on Number.
Those who wish to send their friends
photographs as entries in the contest
should remember that they are allowed
under the rules. to send in as many
photographs Of one person as they
please. That is they are given the op-
portunity OF submitting as many differ
ent poses OF the subject as they desire.
Also one person may send In photo
graphs of as many people as he or she
desires.
What The Sunday Times wants is
the greatest opportunity possible for
selecting faithfully and intelligently the
most beautiful woman in Washington.
and the submission of many photo
graphs is the thing that is going to
make the selection entirely satisfac-
tory.
The woman so selected will enter the
contest of the cities TO uphold the
boast that Washington's women are
