rare charm.
Already many OF the Districts
most famous and talented beauties

part of the process in making the

Won Honor Before. =
Prominent among the young

ers, of the wardman Park Hotel.
and Miss Irene Ludwig, of the Will
lard Courts. Each of them won
fame when they were selected from
thousands as among the most beau
tiful women at the carnival given
by the Georgia division of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association at
the Dean estate a few days ago.
Miss Rogers won first prize and
Miss Ludwig was selected amone
the first five.
Both are Southern girls. Miss
Rogers is a native of Georgia and
Miss Ludwig Is a native Of Arkan-
sas, but they have lived here sew
eral years. Strange to say. both
are of the same rather unusual
type of beauty. They have light
hair and dark eyes and are very
nearly the same size. Miss Rogers
hair is golden and Miss Ludwig's
Is a light auburn. Miss Ludwig Is
talented violinist.
Other Pictures offered.
Photographs of many more at
tractive young women have been
submitted and will be published in
The Herald from day to day, as this
is part of the process in selecting
Miss Washington" The photo
graphs are submitted to The Herald.
few of the most suitable for re-
production will be printed daily.
All of them will be retained and
submitted to the board Of judges.
The judges will select from the
photographs ten of the most at
tractive in appearance and have the
ten young women appear in person.
From this ten one will be selected.
Two things must be emphasized.
The young women must bring their
photographs to The Herald office
in person, or come to The Herald
office so that the art editor may
arrange with Bachrach to take their
pictures. The other is that fail
ure to publish the picture does not
mean that the subject has been
eliminated. Some pictures of really
beautiful women have been sub
mitted. but are of a type of studio
portrait that can not be reproduced
clearly, and other photographs are
being taken where it is possible.
Plans Nearly Complete.
While Washington young women
and their mothers have taken a
most unusual interest in the selec-
ton of Miss Washington" and are
keenly appreciative of the high
honor that goes with it, Atlantic
