HAVE BEAUTY WEEK"

Just as, in days of old, homage was
paid to the beauteous maidens for
whom jousts were called and fought,
a knight of the modern day had arisen
| to pay tribute to american Beauties"
as personified in the winners of the
recent Chicago Tribune middle west
beauty contest. The knight is Harry
Q. Moir, president of the Morrison Ho-
tel and Terrace Garden in Chicago,
who, with a wave of his hand will
transport beyy of pretty maidens
into the "land of Funniest" from Mon
day, July 18th to 23rd.
And it happened just like that<the
winners of the $1,000 prizes in the con-
test were dining with Mr. Moir at the
Morrison when Miss Marie Scarlfff
Wlsconsin's beauty, expressed regret
that the other winners could not share
In the festivity when presto Mr.. Moir
declared that he would be host to the
flrst, second and third prize winners
IN weeks fete at the Morrison Hotel.
Miss Petersen Gets Invitation.
Shortly thereafter Miss Agnetta
Petersen, Elizabeth street, winner of
the second award for Wisconsin. re-
celved the following letter from Miss
Scarliff, which indicated that Wiscon-
SINS beauty queen" is also a regular
girl: Something happened the other
night about which l must tell YOU.
Several evenings, ago, one of the most
delightful / have spent since coming
to Chicago, known as the most beauti-
ful restaurant in Chicago, and during
the course of the conversation men
toned that | was certainly sorry the
other girls in the contest weren't there
to enjoy it as I was. To my estonish-
ment Mr.. Moir said he would be de-
lighted to have the other prize winners
accept his invitation to spend a week
at the Morrison, each with her chap
erone. All expenses. excepting railroad
fare, would be taken care of. Can YOU
imagine such wonderful thing?
From what Mr. Moir said. you will
probably receive regular invitation
shortly, but just couldn't resist writ
ing you and giving you the good news
first. (You know how one likes to be
the carrier of good tidings9 l hope to
see you soon and know that you will
have wonderful time"
The regular invitation" from Mr.,
Moir followed Immediately: 81 wish
to take this opportunity to extend to
you my personal invitation to be my
guest for the week of July 18th. be-
lieye you have already received an in
vitation from Miss Simmonds. whom 7
have asked to be hostess for the Amer
lean Beauty week. l trust that you
will be able to honor us with your
presence and look forward to meeting
you all"
Week of Varied Entertainment.
Miss Mary Simmonds, who, as winner
of the Chicago territory, was asked to
be hostess, wrote to Miss Peterson,
telling of the arrangem ents prelimin-
airy to the fete, and giving vague hints
about the rounds of Entertainment
which have been outlined.
So Miss Petersen won't be greeting
patrons of the Kenosha Evening News
during the next week; instead she'll be
.busily making the acquaintance of all
the other girls who comprise Americas
beauties in the middle west, the news
paper officials who made possible the
rounds of gaiety, the three judges who
selected the winners, and countless
other persons prominent in the social

Chicago to enter the '1and of always
