(A Picture of Gladys)
NEWAYGO, Mich., Dec. 3. -- Of all Newaygo’s pretty girls none is more strikingly handsome than Miss Gladys Race, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. M. Race, whose face is of Oriental type. No photograph can reproduce her wonderful coloring, which could not be surpassed by any professional beauty, while no artist has as yet done justice to the perfection of her features, lustrous eyes and curling lashes. Miss Race is clever and good and a universal favorite.
