These were called upon to appear
before the judges in a group and
stand at some distance away from
the table so that the arbiters Of

nsnts of personal beauty were so
loosely matched il was impossible to
draw the dividing line

.r Questioned by Judges
During the judging every effort
Vas made TO study the poise, grace
and manner of the young candidates
as well as their physical charm
and each was adroitly drawn into
4 conversation by one of the judges.
The judges realized that even
rloser study was necessary in order
10 discriminate between the remain
ng six and repaired to a conference
room in the club and interviewed
each of the young women separately.
They were closely interrogated as
to their place of residence (as the
winner must be a Washington girll
their education, ambitions and ac-
cOmplishmentS.
When the judges had obtained all
the information needed, they ex-
used the young women and an

Lack Of Jealousy.
IL was an interesting and happy
Sroup that gathered at the Arts
C1ub and probably the happiest were
the candidates, although they real
ICED that only one of them could
5e successful. The rivals talked
pleasantly with each other. There
was not the slightest display of
jealousy and some even wished their
competitors success in case they
failed. There was the same spirit
that is found among sportsmen on
the eve Of some great athletic con-
test.
In the preliminary elimination the
,:Sndidates stood at the doors and
windows to watch as each young
woman passed before the judges
reached twelve they came out in the
garden and stood about watching
the interesting group. Each of
those who had been eliminated
selected a favorite from the remain
ing few and wished her well. Even
when the elimination had reached
six the candidates displayed the
same fine spirit

Many amusing incidents occurred.
The judges were seeking real. rather
than artificial beauty. and noticing
too much makeup" on a young
woman asked her to remove IL and
come back. She was selected as
among the twelve pretticst.
Also there were two Miss Mar
Saret Germans to cause the Judges
confusion Although they are not
related. there was a similarity in
their costumes and general appear
snee- Both were exceptionally at
tractive and were among the last
Twelve
Quite a few were eliminated be-
"ause they were not bona Tde res
idents OF Washington. This does
not mean native born. but a resi-
dcnce in the city covering a period
II at least three years
