The Evening World Offers Their Friends an Admirers a Chance to Elect the Most Charm- ing of Them All a Summer Queen. et No trace has been found Is there a girl with soul eo dead who has not yet adopted the pretty and charming shirt waist? If eo, she would probably be very hard to find around New York. On every side we see the bright, cheerful garment which seems to cause the wearer to put on a happy disposition when she dons it. Did you ever notice the fact that it Is seldom the ill-tempered girl who has a shirt waist on. There seems a magic influence connected with it. How often have we heard girls say during the winter months: "Oh, how I wish it wi warm enough to wear a shirt waist.” ‘The time has come, and it seems now that every girl in the land Js wearing one. We all know some* gir! who looks especially lovely and charming in the shirt waist, although sometimes it seems that theire {s such a regularity of prett!- ness that it would be hard to say which ked the nicer. tthe Evening World has decided to rive the friends and admirers of theso especially pretty. shirt-walst girls a chance to help them win fine shirt waists, The first prise for the prettiest girl will be a half dozen fine shirt waists, the eecond a quarter dozen fine shirt waists, and the third prize one fine ebirt walst.
