of Fbtt Worth. She is . a graduate
of Edgewood Park, Briarcliff Man
or, Nc|w York, and at time of se
lection as Maid Of Ootton she was
a sophomore* at Texas University/
-.1 She was chosen as Maid of Cot
ton in Memphis, Tennessee, Jan
uary ■, aud was immediately flown
to New York. Since her selection,
she has been ’ studying modeling,
.■make-jup and fashion in New York
under; the personal direction of
Candy Jones, wife of Harry Con-
Tha 19-year-old beauty plans to
entfer | the fashion merchandising
field as a buyer or fashion writer
on completion of her tour as Maid
of Cotton. Collecting demitasse
cups , and sailing take up most of
her spare time.
’Sponsors for the Maid of Cotton
hrel the National Cotton Council
of .Arherica; the Cotton Exchanges
of. New Orleans, New York and
Memphis; and the Memphis Cotton
Carnival. Claire McCardell, nation
ally: jcnoWn designer of women’s
fa.sHipns, was. chairman of the judg
es tpis year. ! * V
The contest originated in 1939.
Judging is based on personality,
intelligence, poise, ability to meet
people' and to talk before groups,
as well as appearance. The Maid
of Cqtton contest is not a beauty
competition in the ordinary sense.
The tour of the Uinted States is
highlighted by stops in all princi
pal cities in the 18-cotton-producing
stales- Also included on the list of
citifcs are two European appear
ances. On March 16 Miss Nail is
scheduled to appear in Paris,
Fiance, and on March 22 at Man
chester, England.
Securing Miss Nail for her ap
pearance here was one of the tasks
tak^n on by the Agronomy Society
and members of the agronomy de-
partjment faculty to make the Cot
ton | Ball the outstanding social
function of the year.
The only other appearance being
made in Texas by the beautiful
representative of the South is
scheduled for Sanger Brothers in
Dallas on April 15. From College | Woolket from the idepartment of modern language.
