As to the argu ments set forth by those who ousted her from the Vanity Fair race, |he had an answer for each of them. She was connected with the Col lege, she claimed. Her father, it seems, was a janitor here for three weeks in the year 1876. “Mah con- nectshqn with this jh’yar school goes hick to its very fust hegiri- in\” sh|e boasted. j ' Furthermore, she said, there was someone here to represent her. “Some )mrt*uni critter by the name o’ Mundoon er Munden er some thing like thet has done accepted mah invito for a escort," she sigh ed. And she scoiied at the idea of her being a disgrace to the good name of Vanity Fair. Hhe has, so she said, been offered large sums of money (f 10) from three large corporations, Noxema, the N.MA (National Morttiary Association) and Burma Shave have all of fered to buy her photographs for use in their sdvertlsing cam paigns. | She clinched her argument by maintaining that sho had follow»d all the rules of the contest*; She had even entered the three neces sary photos—4 formal portrait, an informal portrait, and a bust shot. (The photos have been sent to the “The engineer must develop a professional attitude and live it,” M. M.
