Creek, Greenwood County, Tuesday.
“It is proverbial but true, the
greatest artists are invariably most
gracious.” This is true with most
Charlestonians because they claim
these two gifts as their birthright.
I happened to be a three weeks’
visitor on the Island recently, and
was very happy that I was able to
attend The Beauty Contest given
by the Legion at the Isle of Palms
Pavillion on Monday, July 23rd.
It seems that all things were in
attune with the spectacular event.
It was a wonderful moonlight even
ing. The clear sky, with myriads
of stars, the beautiful Atlantic roll
ing and dashing at high tide, and
the cooling breeze sweeping
through the flag-decked thronged
pavillion, created a scene which is
indellibly impressed on my mind
and which time will not efface.
I have seen many events of this
kind, but have never been present
at one where the town people were
more cordial and so generous in
their applause and appreciation as
they were to their out-of-town
guests.
At 8:30 the pavillion was filled to
its capacity and crowds at the door
where the beauty contestants were,
had to be pushed back to make
room for them to enter. Such
cheers and trills were Clever heard.
It was exhilarating to me and a
splendid tonic, to see how beauty
and grace appeals to the best in
individuals.
There were 45 contestants at
high tension, each hoping to be
the fortunate future queen of the
legion. Every girl reflected much
credit on herself, and in the midst
of so much charm and competition
it was rather hard on the judges to
make a decision. As a whole, they
were a very striking and pretty
group of young women. After much
debating and thought, the honor
fell to Miss Adelle Brandenburg of
St. Matthews, S. C., a very pretty
blonde of 18 years. Her poise and
manner was very sweet and there
was much cheering and whooping
when she was chosen.
Thomas J. Lyon, Jr., Post No. 19,
of McCormick, sent as their repre
sentative Miss Bettye Workman.
McCormick should congratulate
herself on selecting and having
such a beautiful girl as Bettye as
her representative. Bettye made a
wonderful showing and I was al
most impelled to the conclusion
once, she was going to head the list.
The girls were called back eight
imes, and Bettye was called back
five times out of the eight. Next
time they were eliminated to three
and then two. The two last girls
were called back twice. I heard
much favorable comment over the
pavillion as to Bettye’s beauty.
Her dress was an exquisite crea
tion of yellow flowered tafetta,
with two wide bands of seed pearls
that came across the shoulders fas
tening in a lovely bow at the back.
With this exquisite costume she
wore lace mittens and silver slip-
