The Washington herald., 1921-07-31

and similar affairs will be ar
ranged, and the representatives or
the different cities will be forced to
have their chaperones select for
them the most attractive to NIL out
their three-days program. - .-
New and more ambitious plans
are being laid for a proper recep-
tion to King Neptune, who is to
arrive in his golden seashell Sep
tember z, when Miss Washington"
and her companions will join his
court. The government naval off,
'cials will assign several vessels to
convoy the sea god. The sailors ana
marines of the naval craft also are
expected ashore for the Boardwalk
parade which will convey Neptune
and his consort to their place of
honor on the Million-Dollar Pier.
where the golden craft will remain
until Neptune's departure on the
officers and men of the fiotilla will
be among the nosts whom Miss
Washington" will meet at the So
cial functions which take place
Tuesday evening to formally inaug-
urdte the pageant
Big Bathers' Revue.
There are so many attractive fea-
lures on the program at Atlantic
City all of them cannot be stated
here, but from the moment Miss
Washington" arrives, the evening of
September s. until her departure
after the close of the pageant the
aVanfn, ~
liant event will rapidly follow the
other. There is to be a bathers'
revue, any number of banquets and
receptions, and the great rolling
chair parade on the boardwalk.
Awards range from $4,000 golden
statue of Venus to the gold
engraved cards of admission to all
Of the amusements.
There is no expense for the
young woman who will finally be
selected as Miss Washington"
She will be the welcome guest of
Atlantic City and everything possi-
Bile will be done to make her visit
most enjoyable. She will be en-
tertained in the luxuriant style that
only Atlantic City is capable of.
String of Pearls.
Another evidence of the determi-
nation of the Washington mer-
cha1s to make Miss Washington"
the best-dressed young woman on
Atlantic City's famous beach high
way came Friday night when Selin-
gers 500 F street northwest, offered
a string of "Du Barry. pearls.
Rizik Brothers will give her an
evening gown: ]. NJ. Gliding & Co,
an afternoon frock; the Hecht Com
pany, bathing suit; the Meyer
Shops, a travelling hat, and William
Hahn & Co., shoes.
These are not offered in the ma
tire of prizes, or inducements, but
as an indication of the widespread
interest shown by Washington mer-
chants. As matter of fact Miss
Washington" will in all likelihood
have a sufficiently elaborate ward
robe, but the merchants want to
feel sure that there is nothing
lacking in order that she may. have
every opportunity to win the ma
tional prize offered for the most at
tractive woman at Atlantic City.
Board of Judges.
One of the most important fea-
lures in connection with the selec-
tion of Miss Washington" is the
method employed. A board of highly
competent men, the majority Of
them experienced artists, will make
the final award after personally
viewing the young women. Artifi-
cial beauty will hardly be sufficient.
The young woman must not only
have exquisite features. but must
conform to artistic ideals. In ad-
dition, she must possess poise.
grace and refinement.
There is only one condition inn
posed on the young women who
aspire to the honor. 1t is that they
must bring their photograph to the
Art Editor in person. or appear I'm;
person so that arrangements can,
De made to have the photograph
taken. ,li.ss. - Z. 4
