BEAUTY QUEENS

THEIR FUTURE 111 AMERICA

(FltOH On K CoitIiESTOA'DK.NT.]

SAN FRANCISCO, October 17. AVlmt happens to tho beauty queens of America? was tho question asked following an attack by tho National Council of Catholic Women, who condemned bounty competitions, and one assertion was that beauty contest winners, who are invariably besieged with marriage proposals, do not rush into matrimony.

They go on the stage, or into tho “movies,” or travel, or return to college to complete their education, but tho one thing they do not do as a rule is to accept any of tho millionaires who throw their hearts and their pocket books at their feet.

Investigation in New York revealed that of the six girls who have been crowned “Miss America” at Atlantic City only one has married, and she chose a young man she had known for years, long before she aspired to national recognition as a prize beauty. This exception to tho rule is Mrs Victor Cahill, wife of a well known and well-to-do real estate man of AVashington. When she won premier honors at Atlantic City’s national beauty contest in 1921 she was Miss Margaret Gorman, a pretty blonde high school sophomore. Miss Alary Katherine Campbell, of Columbus, Ohio, who was adjudged tho most beautiful girl in America in 1922 and again in 1923, is still single. She is only 21 now, and she admitted that “ there is quite a lot of time before I shall think of marrying.” She is not sorry she entered the beauty contests, and does not believe they should be condemned as a menace to the morals of the young girl entrants.
