By ELMER W. PETERSON STCCKHOLM, Feb. 21.—A beau- ty. contest held in the dead of winter, without the benefit of bath- ing suits, with the winner crown- | ed with a headdress of burning candles, has given blonde, blue- eyed Ella Johansson all the cus- tomary offers of marriage and mo- tion picture work. Miss Johansson now holds the title of “1935 Lucia Queen of Sweden,” in accordance with a custom dating back to the old Roman legend of Santa Lucia frcm the earliest Christian era. Rides In White Carriage She was elected by public vot-| - ing, and, as winner, was oscorted | | through the streets of Stockholm in a manner that surpassed any Atlantic City beauty parade. With 200,000 spectators lining the streets, she rode in a white carriage, crown and a retinue of knights in walting on horseback as escort. The qualifications ‘of Swedish | heauty, as exemplified by Miss| Johansson, .include’ wavy blonde hair, rather deép-set clear ‘blue eyes, a remarkably clear complex- ion, a height -of about 5 feet’' 7| inches, a slender figure, and feeth that have never known a dentist's drill. Her feet are dainty. | Praic>d by Nobel Winner ! She has been pronounced by ex- | perts, including Luigi Pirandello,! Ttalian dramatist and Nobel prize winner, who attended the festivi-| ties in her honor, to be a per!m’ Swedish type. | Pirandello called for pen and| paper and wrote the following to/ Sweden’s “Lucia.” “To me as a visitor from the| land of light, it is deeply touch- ing to witness this cult and this| Jonging for light in a country such as Sweden, which itself possesses so much of spiritual light, and which in such a manner under- stands to crown those who strive| for the immortal light in this| world.” | Just at present the has her own pet dreams of theatre | and motion picture fame. | The Lucia cult in Sweden, as n} has developed into modern dress, | now includes the ceremony of hav-| ing one's wife, sweetheart, or/ daughter, serve breakfast in the| bedroom, attired in flewisg white| robes and wearing a crown of burning candles, ‘The effect, to the newly xnmxt- ed, is to wake with the feeling| that breakfast is being served by\ ghosts 6" 'ange!s preferably the latter. —eeo SHOP IN JUNIA‘J{ { Blue Brown | Tenn. flaming candles in her, PUBLI(I CARD PARTY BY A.
