OF feminine beauty and charms than
any other place in the world may
we'll be proud OF this GROWING dis
tinction.'
Every type OF beauty 10 represent
ed in this city. The blond and the
brunette. the tall and stately as well
as the smaller fascinating type. The
bluc-eyed blond. reminding one or
the statuepque Morse, may be seen
promensding Connecticut avenue or
II street, with the petite brunette
with "eyes like night" OF the Spanish
type. There are many examples or
Irish beauty, clear complexion rosy
cheeks, gray-blue eyes, dark eye
lashes. and a wealth OF black hair,
and then there is the Semitic and
Eastern beauty, with olive complexion
and lustrous dark eyes.
mot only beauty OF figure and sym
metry OF form. but Washington girls
have an air of refinement and dis
tinction about them which ADDS 10
their natural charms. Their sweet
faces show gentility, their manners
are gracious and their bearing easy
and graceful. These qualities are
birthmarks OF good breeding ana
culture. They have excellent taste In
dress. They display an artistic APP
probation OF color and line and never
exaggerate.'
WORLDS FAMOUS BEAUTIES.
"The fame OF the beautiful women
OF Georgia in the Russian Caucasus
has penetrated to all corners OF the
world. The women OF Vienna are
noted all over Europe for their beauty
and 'smartness,' and Moscow also
boasts, and rightfully so. OF many
very beautiful women. SO does Po-
d.. all dig-
tinct types, and not as plentiful by
far as the Washington beauties, nor
as naturally charming and fasci-
mating.
Beauty is the trail blazer to sue
cess in, business. Every business con-
Germ that pays attention to making It's
place artistically attractive Is more
successful than it's competitor which
neglects this feature. SO II Is In
every phase OF this life.
That being the case. I would sug-
gest that serious attention be given
to these beauty" contests. ! would
suggest that the Washington Society
OF Fine Arts. the Society OF Washing
ton Artists. the Arts Club. the Wash
ington Salon, the Corcoran Gallery OF
Art, the Chamber OF Commerce. the
Board of Trade. the City Club. and
other public-spirited organizations
get together and make these beauty"
contests the greatest sumner attrac-
ton for Washington.
URGES SERIES OF SHOWS.
would suggest that there be a
succession OF shows during the sum-
mer months while the bathing season
is in progress. Then l would say
that jury OF three well-known
artists pass judgment on the entrants.
and that there will be a different jury
at every contest. There ought to be
three prizes at each show. the first
going to the most beautiful and per-
feet figure and face and bearing and
dress: the second and third to follow
for different types. There should be
no prizes for urcss alone, as anyone
who has the money can purchase an
expensive and attractive bathing suit.
which in itself is no personal accom-
plishment.
At the end OF the season. the judges
who acted at the various contests
should in turn select three judges
who would decide upon THE most
beautiful girl in Washington" and
make their choice from those selected
at the preceding contests. Successful
contestants should not be permitted
to compete again the same season.
The presentation of the cups at the
various shows" should be done in a
ceremonious manner. and the presi.
dent Of the Fine Arts Commission or
the head OF the Corcoran Art Gallery.
| or maybe the President himself, should
present the honors. The Marine Band
should be in attendance, and the af-
fair should be staged with "pomp
| and circumstance"
