HONOR CONTESTED


Washington young woman VINO as
Miss Washington" will represent
the District at Atlantic City. N j.
September Z and s at q brilliant
paReant and carnival of nationwide
social interest started Thursday.
Few, II any, prospective events
have created such a general and
widespread interest in the Capitals $
younger set. The fact that 1t is not
a contest. that there is to be no
voting or solicitation. and that a
board of highly competent judges.
made up largely of artists. Is to
make the selection. and that no
greater distinction could be con-
ferred upon a young woman than
to be selected as the most repre-
sentative girl in the city. have
given It dignity in keeping with
the event.
Many Submit Pictures
A large number of young women
submitted their photographs TO the
Art Editor of The Herald Thurs
day-a great many more than can
be published today-but an effort
will be made to publish all OF them
The three appearing on this page
were selected because they reached
the ofice sufficiently early for the
engraving to be made. The fact
that a photograph Is not published
does not imply that il is not ac-
ceptable. or that che young woman
submitting 1t has been eliminated
as a possible Miss Washington"
On the contrary. many of the
photographs submitted are of very
beautiful women, but the portrait
is of such a type that 1t will not
make q creditable reproduction for
a newspaper. For this reason the
young women are asked to come
to The Herald ONCE and let the Art
Editor arrange TO have Bachracf
take a photograph that is suitable
for publication. All of the photo
graphs will be kept in The Herald
ONCE until they are submitted to
the judges on August Is, the day
after the publication of the last
photographs. The judges will ex-
anime each carefully and from all
Of them select the ten that are the
most pleasing. The ten young
women whpse pictures are selected
will then appear In person before
the board of judges and from them
one will be selected as Miss Wash
inEton-"
Great Care Intended.
As the successful young woman.
while a guest of Atlantic City's
carnival, will be among the repre-
sentatives of the other larger cities
in the United States from which the
most beautiful woman in the nation
Is to be selected, every effort will
be made by the Judges to decide
upon a Washington girl who will
win this great distinction.
Photographs will be accepted and
printed by The Herald until August
IS, and no effort will be made to
arrive at a selection or eliminate
any Of the candidates until after
this date. All that is necessary for
any young woman to make herself
eligible for selection is to bring her
photograph to The Herald office, or
call at the office and arrange to
have one made.

ton" are DR.. Mitchell Carroll, vice
president of the Washington Arts
Club and editor of Arts and

Real Honor Due.
The real reward for being Miss
Washington" is the very distinct
honor Of being the sole representa-
tive of a great city in a brilliant and
distinguished gathering. There are
inducements, however, which are
not unattractive. Among them are
some useful additions to the ward
robe Of the young woman who will
be selected. While in all likeli-
hood she is amply provided for in
the way of fashionable clothing.
Washington merchants have evinced
a civic interest in having her among
the most handsomely tailored
women on Atlantic City's great
boardwalk.
Rizik Brothers will give her an
evening gown: ]. NJ. Gliding & Co.
an afternoon frock: the Hecht Com
pany. a bathing suit; the Meyer
Shops. a travelling hat, and william
Hahn & Co.. shoes
Advices from Atlantic City. where
the arrangements for the carnival

sion. They also show that Miss
Washington" has been given a place
of the very highest distinction on
the program
