BEAUTIES IN RACE
FROM ALL SECTIONS
Every Part Of City Now Repre-
sented in Times Contest for
Fair Trip.

Every section Of the city is now well
represented in The Times beauty con-
test which will come to a spirited end
one week from next Monday. recent
hint from the Beauty Editor that there
was a scarity Of photographs of pretty
Georgetown girls. although all other
communities had a number of entrants.
brought number of responses from the
extreme western end of the city. and
Georgetown now has suitable repre-
sentation.
Neighborhood pride is entering to a
large extent into the contest, which has
for its object the sending of some
Washington girl on a free journey to
the San Francisco and San Diego ex-
positions. The Beauty Editor received
today. for instance. a, note attached to
the photograph Of an apparently charm
ing Young woman saying:
"Prettiest In City"
This is the prettiest girl in my
section of town. | think she's probably
the prettiest in the whole city-and
hope the judges think likewise
That is the proper pride. 1t is a
certainty that the judges will select one
" ashington girl. to represent the Ma
tional Capital on this Wonderful jour
ney to the Pacific slope. . II may be
your girl, although she modestly dis
claimed that she had a chance when II
was suggested that her photograph be
sent in.
Most beautiful women are modest, and
were all the modest women to refuse to
permit their admirers to send in their
photographs. the beauty contest would
not be worth while. This contest is
conducted solely from the standpoint
of beauty, and there is no reason why
any beautiful woman in Washington
should remain out.
Other newspapers conducting contests
In their respective localities similar to
the competition inaugurated by The
Times In the Capital city of the ma
ton. are offering word pictures of the
glories of trip to the Pacific coast
at this season of the year. They re-
port that the rivalry is keen where
ever a beauty contest is running and
the forty-odd young women selected to
go to the PacafiC slope will doubtless
appreciate the fact that 1t was a hard
race" and that they won over an open
field of attractive rivals.
The National Capital is depended upon
to send one of the prettcst girls of the
entire party. It's rather expected that
girls of Washington. with it's population
drawn from the four corners OF the
country. should boast Of pretty women
are taking interest in the Washington
contest as well as their own.
Journey Delightful.
1t is needless to regale the contestants
with descriptions of the trip across the
Rockies and to San Francisco. 1t is
probable that no more delightful jour-
ney could be planned than that now be-
ing mapped out for the beauty winners
Of this and other cities, who will travel

proper chaperonage by women of prom
inenCe.
The train will leave Chicago June 8.
