You catch the idea?
Find a girl who has the elements of a noble woman; one whose heart is so
large that she has to wear a little larger corset than some, but one who
will make her home happy, and who is a friend to all; one who would walk
further to do a good deed, and relieve suffering, than she would to
patronize an ice cream saloon; one who would keep her mouth shut a month
before she would say an unkind word, or cause a pang to another. Let your
Committee settle on such a girl, and she is as welcome to that machine as
possible.
Now, Van, you ought to have a Committee appointed at once, and no one
should know who the Committee is. They should keep their eyes open from
now till the time of the Fair, and they should compare notes once in a
while. You have got some splendid judges of girls there in Janesville, but
you better appoint married men. They are usually more unbiased. They
should not let any girl know that she is suspected of being the premium
girl, until the judgment is rendered, so no one will be embarrassed by
feeling that she is competing for a prize.
Now, Boss, I leave the constitution and the girls in your hands; and if
this premium is the means of creating any additional interest in your
Fair, and making people feel good natured and jolly, I shall be amply
repaid.
