No one knows exactly-not now.
The actual search for the Typical
American Girl did not start until
the first OF March. At that time
The Washington Times, the Smart
Set Magazine, and other representa-
tive American newspapers banded
together in an honest effort to
find the girl who best typifies all
that Is good in American woman.
hood.
This girl win be fortunate for
an award of $4,000 awaits her.
Thorough Search On
The Washington Times was asked
by Smart Set to help that periodical
in their efforts and The Times has
joined the search, believing that
she is located in Washington. A
determined search is being made
for her. Homes, clubs, schools, col
leges, business offices. stores, and
other places are being combed for
the girl who will be the personifica-
tion of Americas ideals.
The help of readers of the Times
is solicited in The Times search.
1t is their duty, as we'll as ours, for
the girl who is selected by the
quest selection committee will be
representative of the true ideals
of American womanhood.
Here Are the Rules
The rules for nominating can.
didate for the quest are very sim
pie. They are as follows:
The typical American girl Is
over Is years of age.
A candidate cannot propose her
self. She. must be proposed by
some individual, organization,
club. school or someone else
The proposal shall be sent to
the Quest Editor of The Times.
Each candidates. proposal must
be accompanied by her photo
graph, listing age, height, weight,
coloring, education, biographical
sketch. and her social, business,
and athletic activities.
This is a selective search--not a
motion picture, popularity or beauty
contest. 1t is an honest and sin
cere effort on The Washington
Times part to find the girl who best
represents the much discussed but
as yet indefinite, personality of the
Typical American Girl.
