TO Beautiful
 Women Rated
BY BEVERLY PHILLIPS

Boston, Feb. 5-(UP)-Who, to a sculptors eye, are the 10 most beau- tiful women in America?
 Joseph A. Coletti, noted Boston sculptor and one time associate of the late artist John Singer Sargent, today listed his 10 choices, with Hcdy Lamar getting top billing.
 His list was as follows:
 1. Hedy Lamarr-" real beauty, enchanting, Unique and completely ravishing."
 2. Greer Garson-who typifies the "essence of aristocratic charm and dignity"
 3. Ingrid Bergman" marvellous figure from sculptor's viewpoint with an extraordinary mouth
 4. Greta Garbo-whose beauty is "elusive, making her eyes haunting ly unforgettable."
 5. Katherine Cornell-who possess es tremendous appeal though 1t is likely to appeal to the artist rather than the layman"
 6. Vivian Leigh-the little Eng" fish girl with winsome allure
 '. Ethel Barrymore-a great act- ress beautiful in the classic tradi- tion whose head rather reminds me of the Hermes by Pr~Xiteles."
 8. Madame Chiang Kai-shek-for the "lovelineSs of the Orient"
 9. Esther WilliamS-whose clean limbed appeal represents the best of the American athletic type"
 10. Madeleine Carroll a"perfect- ly natural beauty with marvellous shoulders and lovely carriage"
 Coletti, who lives in Quincy, ex- plained that Madame Chiang. though not an American, was in- cluded on his list because she was educated in the United States anG had retained her association with this nation.
 He said U. s. Rep Clare Boothe Luce, R., Conn, just missed a place among the 10, but added that the secret of her attractivenesS was ln her chic dress. The Duchess Of Windsor, he said, fell into the same category.
 The sculptor, who has travelled ex- tensively and has been connected witt the American academy in Rome, had this bouquet for Ameri- can women:

she couldn't be absolutely sure. Everyone
began noticing certain British plane, how

harbor before flying back to England.
Madame Gilbert guessed this might be Rene,
her son. Others got to thinking so, too They
would watch the plane swoop around be-
fore flying awSy. 1t gave them confidence,
and symbol of hope.
At last the Allied invasion began. Electric
lines were cut, and Binic could no longer listen
to the radio. But rumors came that Dinan and
ST. Brieuc were liberated, and Nazi threats
grew less dark, day by day.
AS the liberation progressed, the same Brit
ish plane flew over Binic more often Then
one day the pilot tossed out some scraps of
paper that fluttered in the air like gulls.
Friends brought all of them to Madame
Gilbert for scribbled in pencil on each were:

really free, will some of you form circle
around her so that may know that she is

At once children collected from all around,
and brought their friends and neighbors. They
danced in large ring around Madame Gilbert.
Monsieur lie Cure rang the bells in the church,
and gulls flew up into the air like little pieces
of paper. spilling the good news into the sky.
