Many Standards
When The Times, Smart Set
Magazine. and other Hearts news
papers decided to look for the typi-
cal American girl, they found
great number of standards had been
set by critics and hackers of the
typical American girl. Some of the
ideals set forth by these self-con-
stituted judges contradicted them.
selves and it was necessary to
straighten them out.
In order to do this Smart Set
Magazine, The Times and the other
papers asked hundred of their
readers for their ideas with regard
to the type of the typical Ameri-
can girl. The majority of the re-
plies showed that the typical Ameri-
can girl was not an exception. She
was just an average girl, one who
knew herself and placed explicit
confidence in her own ability.
Some of the letters showed her
as an oldfashioned girl, others
showed her as the modern fiapper,
still others set her forth as a bust
ness girl a school girl, and many
other kinds.
Must Be Representative
! After looking over the letters re.
ceived. 1t was decided to set forth
only one major rule for the Quest.
The rule was, this girl must be rep.
resentative of all the good that there
is in the modern American girl Of
today"
All nominations of candidates for
the honor of representing the typical
American girl must he sent TO the
Quest Editor of The Washington
Times before the first of April The
letter must be accompanied BIZ
photograph of the candidate. A set
OF rules has been printed in an-
other part Of the paper and gives
all the rules for he contest.
There is $4,000 waiting for the
girl who is chosen ir the national
selection. The typical Washington
girl will be given a trip to New
York. under the proper chaperonase.
at the call of Smart Set Magazine
for the final judging.
Local Judges
A committee of local judges will
be selected by The Times. They will
be men and women who know the
modern miss and who have not
forgotten the home girl; They will
be people who understand the typi-
cal American girl.
The Quest is nationwide. Hearst
papers all over the United States
are cooperating with Smart Set In
finding the girl who they think is
best representative of her sisters
Each of the papers will select a.
regional Typical American Girl, and
she will go to New York for the
final selection by committee
picked by Smart Set. We are
looking for an average girl, one
with sense of humor, who enjoys
life and who is herself. She is not
an exception. Help us to find her.
