come an. artists model. was pro
claimed the Empress of Voluptuous
Contours" as dawn came to Paris
today, following the Latin Quarters
annual -Four Arts Ball"
The ball began with decorations
and costumes supposedly represent
ting the Aztec tribes of Mexico
They were mainly paper and feath-
ers. neither calculated to stand the
strain Of the wild Apache dances.
And they didn't. Grease paint ran
and himsy paper skirts were torn
and discarded and the ball soon de-
veloped into one of the worst orgies
of nudity in Paris history.
Then as dawn neared. the revel-
ers sat in judgment on dozens OF
beauties. who paraded in smiles and
grease paint only, each being the
queen of some art academy. But
Helene triumphed over all.
Throughout the day preliminary
preparations in the cafes of the
artists quarter had already filled
the Aztecs with spirit which led
them to parade the streets, going to
and returning from the ball un-
clothed.
