American Beauty

lutlSb TWILL SSN~SI
If they are looking for real
American beauties in the Walter
Winchell Sweepstakes, the entry
of Mrs. Esther Marchant ought
to help. for she is Laguna Pueblo
Indian. who has been active in the
Bureau of Indian Affairs for
about four years. Her husband.
John Marchant. is a descendant
of one of the founding families OF
Massachusetts, and their romance
was something to write about!
But whether the honorS of In
terror go to Mrs. Marchant or to
one of the other beauties entered
from Mr.. .ckes' bailiwick, 1t Is
certain that the judges, Mur1el
Austin, Robert Gates and Wolcott
Waggaman, will have plenty OF
beauty to confuse them when they
start picking out the department
representatives Sunday morning!
ENTRIES CLOSE SATURDAY
The sweepstakes entries Will
close Saturday night at midnight.
Between now and then, any girl
who believes she is the answer to
Winchell's now famous published
statement of April 6 that there
are no beautiful women in Gov
eminent service" has only to sub
nit her photograph and fill out
the entry blank printed in The
Washington Times to be well IN
the running! Anyone may enter
the photograph of any Govern
ment girl worker whose beauty
they believe entities her to be
the Miss Washington. The win
ner, for three days and nights,
will be Wincheus personal guest
in the midst of Manhattan's gay
night clubs!
Remember Miss Washington
will fly to and from New York IN
an Eastern Air Lines luxury liner
as the personal guest of Col. Eddie
Rickenbacker, famous wartime
ace, and now head of Eastern Air
Lines. She will be outfjrted for
her date" with a travelling suit
and an evening gown and prob
ably other accessories by the
Model Shop, 1903 F st. N. W., and
if she is a Virginian, she will be
the guest of Roland Eaton, mana
ger of the Cavalier Hotel, at Vir-
GINA Beach, and j. L. Lucas, edi-
tor Of Down Country Magazine,
the weekend after her return
from New York.
VIRGINIAN WINS ANYWAY
If the winner of the Walter
Winchell Sweepstakes is not a
Virginian, then the most beautiful
Virginia Miss in the sweepstakes
will be the weekend guest Of the
Cavalier and Down Country.
How does a girl enter the coru-
petition? It's simple. You will
find all the rules printed in today'S
Washington Times-and also an
entry blank on which you may
enter any girl you believe to be a
potential winner.
All entries must be in by mid
night, Saturday, April 80. Then
on Sunday, Monday ard Tuesday,
the judges will select the depart
ment winners who will appear at
the Capitol Theater in two groups
one Wednesday, May 4, and the
other Thursday evening, May S.
when the judges will conduct the
semifinalS, and select what they
consider to be the 10 most beauti-
full girls.
Then, within a very few days,
Walter Wincheil himself will come
to Washington, and the stage of
the Capitol will be the scene Of
one of Winchell's most embarraS-
sing - and delightful - moments.
He will have to face these 10 semi
finals winners-and personally Sc
lect the one whom he believes to
be the most beautiful-and charm
ing-and then and there he will
have to admit that Washington s
Government girls are as pretty as
any group Of women anywhere.
RIVALRY AT PEAK
Interdepartment strife and
friendly rivalry is at a high peak
as the day for the closing of the
entries nears. Each department
insists it has the most beautiful
girls-and House and Senate are
at loggerheadS over which side"
has the largest quota of beauties.
1t looks at though Winchell's face,
would indeed be very, very red
when he sees the results Of the
Washington Times Walter Win
Cheil sweepstakes.
Remember to read Winchell's
column in the Washington Herald
every day-and don't fail to tune
in his broadcast next Sunday
night, over WMAL. There may
, be some interesting news regard.
