The young j ladies were finally reduced to two. and) the winner proved to be Miss Kathleen j Cooper, of Grey Lynn, whose win was thoroughly deserved. She received £•">, and her "hairdresser, Mr. Sharkey, of ! Great Xorth Road, gets the champion- | ship cup, which Miss Cooper accepted on I his behalf.
