TIME
Sixteen young women, each from a different European country, paraded in Paris last week before a jury of artists chairmanned by Paul Chabas, painter of the once famed shivering nude, “September Morn.”
Aged 19, with blue-green eyes and jet black hair, “La Jolie Jeanne” Juilla of Villeneuve in Gascony was presently chosen “Miss Europe.” As such she will compete in Santiago, Chile for the title of “Miss Universe.”
To reporters La Jolie Jeanne delivered this charming gasconade:
“My greatest ambition is to make my mother happy. I will not go on the stage or screen. Just a few weeks ago I saw a large city for the first time—Paris!”
