VENUS TO Be THE :
IDOL OF BATHING
BEAUTIES HERE
Interest CenterS on Contest
to Be Held at Broad
Ripple Park.

If you had in your employ 1900
young ladies, would you be able to
select the most perfect form in the
lot, and how would you go about it?
This is a question which is con
fronting the Employees Mutual Bene-
fit Association of the Real. Silk
Hosiery Mills for J. A. Goodman,
president of the company, has ac-
copied entry in the bathing beauty
and fashion parades which will be
given at Broad Ripple, Thursday
evening, August 10, during the Ma
tional A.. A. u. swimming meet, and
he has asked Mr.. Zinkin, manager
of the employment department, to
go ahead and arrange the details.
Obviously there could be no stand
ard set Of measurements unless the
young ladies were all of the same
height and age, in which event.
measurements approximating
standard could be worked out.
But that set Of rules would not
fit applicants varying in height and
in years for a girl of 1S, who is five
feet four inches, could be as well
proportional and equally eligible to
win a prize as the girl of 10 and
who stands five feet six in her
hosiery.
In order to assist in selecting the
young ladies to represent the firm,
Myra Richards, Indiana noted
sculptress, and member Of the Judges
committee to make awards and
designate winners in the contest, was
appealed to.
There is no set standard Of rules
governing the measurements of the
female form" states Myra Richards.
I'VE frequently find almost perfect
proportions in the human form with
girls of Is, as we'll as those several
years older. Naturally when we have
girls Of varying height we must
adjust our measurements and strike
an average accordingly"
Continuing, Mrs. Richards states
that, "the only measurements we
have that enable us to form COM

ducement. At the end of the passage
way the girl inquired the room best
to his liking.
Peter was incensed enough to want
the red one, but he politely named
the one in orange.
After a brief period he was ushered
almost divinely into the presence of
the psychometric, fit, reigning
monarch behind an ebony table in a
black embroidered robe.
Now, / don't want you to tell me
anything" began Peter in a more
affable manner. II can't remember
very well, and l want 1t all written
down on your letterhead."
You have no objection, of course,
to answering a few questions?" ques-
toned the monarch.
None whatever" answered Peter,
$50 long as they are not beyond my
comprehension"
At 2:30 Peter left the palatial studio
with a carefully folded manuscript in
his inner coat pocket.
A tired Peter came trudging home
to a festive dinner that night. Lucy
met him at the door and Baby Helen
hugged his knees like a lodestone
weight.
why all the fussing tonight"
asked Peter, as he observed the din
ing room table.
"Oh, Peter-it's Lucian's birthday;
you never do remember" chided
Lucy.
Dad and try to forget our birth
days, but you won't let us, mother"
said Lucian with an all-over grin.

day gift" said Lucy, cheerfully.
Learn anything" demanded Peter
of Lucian.
''Sit down, dears, and We'll tell you
all about it, There were shuffles and
giggles.
Peter, it was just too wonderful
the way he read Lucian off-just like
book. Actually you would have
thought he knew him. You know he
does play the trombone in the glee
club. Lucian chose his orange room
in which to have his reading. De
Brieg says that in itself denotes musi-
cal talent. Oh. I'm so happy that
we're going to have at least one musi-
clan in the family Helen, dear. hold
your head over your plate-that's the
girl. It's just wonderful to he able to
have ones life translated psychologist
cally; it gives one a clearer grasp of
life, said Lucy ecstatically.
That's what l think" said Peter,
mischievously. Here is the horo-
scope he gave me today it may in
terest you!" He handed the gilded
De Brieg missive across the table.
It's high time l changed my call
ing" said Peter amusedly. as Lucy
scanned the notes, especially if I'm
to be a musician. l never could play
or sing, except with the cats on the
back fence"
Wen discuss that later" said
Lucy, laying the missive under her
plate.

pointment part of the program
The morning rolled around on time.
Peter, with the running brigade,
caught the $50 train, and busted him
self unavoidably at the office until
a half after II. He had luncheon and
arrived at the studio of De Brieg at
a half after /.
My name is Knight-an appoint

take me earlier l shall appreciate it
I'm in a hurry" he explained.
The black and white office girl
bowed and murmured an incoherent
something and retired
AT 1:45 he was mysteriously ush-
ured into labyrinth of color schemes.
Gorgeous rooms curtained from the
passagewayS were shown him as thev
passed through. The first was a room
in yellow with gold and silver hang

You see. it isn't as if Lucian had
no talent-he has. His Grandfather
Moore on his fathers side was the
most brilliant scholar of the day.
Then on my fathers Side-both my
father and grandfather were ldeaiists,
and must say unappreciated-slmp

You women beat the Dutch said
Peter in an irascible mood. IF you

For the cool days ol late sum- mer and early fall a sports suit Of bright coloring is extremely smart. Made severely it is chic for town wear and cha ling in the country for golf or walking.
 The suit in the adjoining sketch is 9 light weave Of yellow and blue checks. The jacket is made straight and bright with a bright blue kid belt around the hips. The collar, lapels, the edge of the sleeves and the large patch pockets are all bound with blue braid.
 The skirt is short for both smart ness and service. An inverted pleat in front gives it width without spelling the narrow silhouette. There are two patch pockets on the skirt like those on the coat.
 Charming with a suit of this type are the tailored silk blouses made to wear over the skirt band. They button down the front and end in two points in the fashion of vest Extremely short sleeves and a nar- row rolling collar lends them a jaunty air.
 A felt hat Of canary yellow is worn with this costume. It has q crushed crown. a narrow brim turned up on one side and a cock ade Of grosgrain ribbon.
