Crowds Flock to
Rrandeis Stores
to See the Beauty

No; Brandeis' store is not on fire.
The cause for the horde of men and wo-
men flocking there is Rae Potter, the
prettiest working girl Of Chicago, who is
here on a. tour demonstrating sewing
machines. This f7-year-old beauty won
first place in the recent contest held by
the Chicago Tribune and Lillian Russell,
beauty and authority on beauty, made
the decision.
There are about as many women as
men crowding around the sewing ma
chine booth-young women and old wo-
men-all come to gaze upon the prize
beauty from the Windy city and mayhap
to get some pointers.
Miss Potter has no beauty recipes.
She's just naturally pretty. Her eyes
are big and dark blue and Of the dreamy
variety Her complexion is creamy and
her hair is soft brown and wavy.
She declares that all the attention she
receives has not turned her head. She
has not decided what she will do after
she has finished the tour for the sewing
machine company. She is considering the
stage. She has numerous offers from NOV
ing picture concerns, complexion cream
manufacturers and beauty quest ex-
ploiters of all sorts. She has also had
numberless proposals of marriage from
men and youths all along the route. But
she is just enjoying her trip through the
country and letting the future take care
of itself She is accompanied by her
mother.
Whatever she does in the future she
will probably not return to the tele-
phone switchboard where she was en-
ployed when she was discovered and in
duced to enter the beauty contest.
All Miss Potter has to do on her de-
monstrating tour is to give out souvenir
photographs Of herself to the gazing
multitudes, be pretty and pleasant and
enjoy herself-all of which is very easy
for her.
