girl Mr.. Whit wants for his show.
If girl looks good in street clothes
then she is asked to appear in bath

exquisite Anne Laxton; chestnut

in the Scandals; Claire McQuillen.
whose face is familiar all over the
country as the model for a famous
cigarette advertisement, and Alma
Saunders, who received proposals Of
marriage from assorted English and

in the International Sporting Club.
These are the girls who best typify
the new American beauty.

be satisfied with only q plain band
of gold But they were not averse tc
