THE PRETTIEST LEGS.
COMPETITION IN NEW YORK. BITTER PILL FOR FLAPPERS. Mrs. Harry Wood, who frankly admits her 70 years has beaten the youth and beauty of the city in open competition. The event was a prettiest legs competition, and hundreds of girls entered. Competitors were not, allowed to show themselves to the, judges, who made their decisions from what they could see beneath a curtain which cut" off the entrants from just above the knee up.
One pair of legs attracted universal attention for their symmetry and beauty. They were chosen as the winner—and out stepped Mrs. Harry Wood, very nearly old enough to be' the great-grandmother of most of the other competitors.
“I entered just tp teach these 1927 flappers that if they think they are the only beauties who ever lived they’ve got another guess coming,” she told the newspaper men.
