QUEEN OF BEAUTY
FRENCH GIRL'S RECIPE Let Mile. Madeleine Legrand, brand new beauty and health queen of France, tell you what it feels like to have every girl's dream come true, wrote our English correspondent recently. In two brief weeks Mile. Legrand has won 3000 francs in a beauty competition, embarked on a world tour, put herself in the front line for a stage and screen career.
Dark, vivid, very beautiful, the beauty queen sat in a corner of the Savoy Hotel, London, and received me confusedly. "Your recipe for health and beauty, mademoiselle ?"
"No broad, no potatoes, no smoking, few cocktails, plenty of fruit juice and sleep," said Mile. Legrand, flicking inch-long black eyelashes up and down. "What exactly does winning this beauty competition mean, mademoiselle?" "La, la! The Paris Salon de la Beaute elect me Mile. Santo of 1' ranee out of 1500 other French girls, and all very nice and very healthy. Bicn; my old life as a mannequin is changed. I stay at luxury hotels, I tour tho world' 1 see film and stage producers, get my chance." "Are you any happier?" "1 am too confused. It is all very strange, but I am glad 1 have won."
