Well, have we got a surprise for you!"I can remember being Miss America," recalls the only woman ever stripped of that title, Vanessa Williams, "and having people comes up to me and say, 'You know, you aren't that pretty' and it hurts, but you don't let it show."Oh yes they do!!In "Here She Is!," our 30th issue, We've undertaken what no other magazine's ever attempted: removing the crowns and gown, capturing the flashes without sashes, and letting the contestants' true talents emerge. As the Miss America pageant committee responded when the event's relevance was recently questioned: "Is it relevant to bring a smile and some pure joy into people's lives, to dream a thing of beauty and bring that dream to reality?' That's a question Sleuth has answered with this dream come true. Isn't he also en-titled?And who are these delectable damsels we've defrocked? The roll call above clearly States the winners you won't want to Miss! "They all have three names, of courseââ â I think it's the law,"mused multi-monikered media maven Aimee Lee Ball. "Miss Americas must have the sort of name that conjures up images of sitting on a veranda with a mint julep." Yet Sleuth's selfless scrutiny of the registry of every Miss America contestant reveals that two names often conjure up all kinds of images: among the actual entrants of past pageants are Claire SPIRT, Vernell BUSH, Joan TEETS, Flora SLEEPER, Roberta TARBOX, and Monica HARD. Not to mention Thailand's 1988 Miss Universe named PORNTIP.Sleuth is happy to host this pageant of pictorial pulchritude because, in the words of Miss America's mush-mouthed main man Bert Parks: "It is a high prestige position, and damned good exposure." It certainly was for Vanessa the Undressa {p. 321, yet the year of her resignation "all 51 contestants said they haven't and wouldn't pose nude." Asked if they'd admit it if they had, Miss South Carolina cracked: "Who's crazy enough to say?" Apparently, only the Sleuth. We hope you'll judge that it's no contest.Walking On Air He Is, Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Twenty-two (22) autograph letters, various sizes, totaling 71 pages, 9 with envelopes; folds, overall very good to fine. Bright ink and legible. Thomas Drew Robinson was born in 1828 in Middleborough, Mass. of Dr. Morrill and Mary (Shaw) Robinson. He graduated with a law degree from Brown University in 1849 and set up practice in New Bedford, Mass. He later moved to New York City to set up a new practice there. It is likely that the Browns knew Robinson through the University. The collection includes drafts of seven personal letters written by Robinson to relatives and friends: Caroline Colby (2), Averick Colby Kielblock (2), Mrs Coffin (1), Mrs C or H. (1), Rush Hawkins (1). The remaining letters were written to him by General Rush C. Hawkins (1) (Ann Mary Brown's husband), John Carter Brown (1), Ann Mary Brown (1) "C.M. Brown", very likely Caroline Mathilde Brown (6), and A.B. Hawkins, likely Albert B. Hawkins b. 1815 (1), and Caroline Colby (5). These letters were written when Robinson was about 28 years old and a bachelor. Caroline Mathilde Clements (ca. 1809-1879) of Dover, New Hampshire, married Nicholas Brown III (1792-1859). Five letters in this correspondence were written to Robinson while she was summering at their home called "Choppequonsett"--affectionately "Choppi"- which was set on Gaspee Point in Narragansett Bay, and one letter was written from Florence, Italy. Robinson was sending gifts and there are other indications that she was purchasing items to add to his various collections--he was a known orchid collector and perhaps of antiques. Caroline was in her late 40s when she sent these rather flirtatious letters to Robinson. In August of 1856, Robinson has apparently sent Caroline some sea shells and she thanks him: "Is it not strange these little delicate forms, preserve their rich tints, after being torn from their beds, and buried in sand, earth's most unstable foothold--and appear unsullied to deck a ladies cabinet?.many thanks for this precious gift." "Chappi Sept 15, 1856. My Dear Sir: The prints you sent me were very beautiful, thousand thanks--I have transferred them to the -ov [?] tho' as yet, I have not ventured to paint it, for fear it will turn out like the other, that you saw. I was in hopes to have seen you yesterday. I don't believe that you were in better company--Don't wound myself love by saying, with that meaning smile--'yes, but I was!'. I know full well the charms of N-Bedford ladies yet I am not inclined to yield one iota even to 'sweet sixteen'--this question puzzles you I also know, but then remember Dame Nature has not made you an amateur of the fair sex, as I told you, with other faults of your cranium!.Lord of heaven! don't think me mad, I assure you I have as much sense now, as I ever had, that you will say is 'precious little'! I have just thought of it--do you ever read your letters to your friends? if so, pray tell me and I will be more dignified in future, as I am a little to be called a - no - no- not a blue! yet for the life of me, I cannot find another word to replace that--To be serious one moment- AM [her daughter Ann Mary] says 'Mama don't forget to send my regards. Carter enters College tomorrow--therefore will not go to N York with us--Did not you tell me you disliked long letters? then I will tell you.I am your very best friend CM Brown." Two other letters to Robinson describe her travels to Quebec and then to Rome. The last letter is from 1860, addressed to Robinson in New York and asks him to call on her at the Newgate Hotel "about dinner time". Robinson married Mary Loomis Brooks sometime after 1863. Caroline's daughter, Ann Mary Brown, married Rush Christopher Hawkins (1831-1920) in 1860. In 1861, General Rush C. Hawkins writes a rather amusing letter to Robinson from Camp Butler, Newport News, Virginia July 4, 1861, in the midst of the Civil War: "Dear Robinson How are you and how are you getting along? Tell me do the days of thinning still continue is the bank account low and my old friend mokeiferous [?] and frisky? . I suppose at any rate my friend R is still oleaginous and still kind to his friends. With me all things are changed.I have laid down the crook and pruning fork for the sword. I have banished from my mind all thoughts of good dinners and I'm on salt horse and pork and beans, with E. Pluibus Unum written on all my baggage. From a poor miserable son of Themis I have become a willing follower of Mars; the last is more the name than the occupation at present, we do no fighting.On the opposite side of the river from us the Rebels have any number of batteries and today while we were firing the national salute, they were firing their salute of nine guns, we included their nine in our thirty three, so you see that although we are ready and willing to cut each other's throats, we still remember the day [July 4], and so do they." Robinson's response to Rush is dated N.Y. July 10, 1861: "My dear Rush, hail most renowned & unapproachable warrior--I have smoked my pipe anew and by leave to report the pipe & the rest of the family in an E pluribus unum state. I should like to take one look at ye great unterrified so warlike in the melting heat, in fact I now see you through the waving curls of smoke of my new huge meerschaum.the great pulse [of the] beating heart of the North is with you. To your brave hands we betrust the Star Spangled banner & the 4th of July--let the vision of 160 acres of land in the perspective beyond Chicago rekindle your patriotism. Brothers in arms great deeds wait for you. Hurry your grub consume your whiskey & make the Palmetto state & any other man sing Hail Columbia.my good fellow take care of yourself--remember Ellsworth & also that bravery which is worth anything in a general must consort with prudence--recklessness is no adjunct of courage & too often imperils it." Ann Mary and Caroline (Carrie) Brown (1841-1892) were granddaughters of Nicholas Brown, Jr., who had given Brown University $5,000.

(5 of them lacking a side or two at the beginning or end), written on her return from her second West African journey till shortly before she went out as a nurse to South Africa, the greater number to George William NEVILLE in Putney, (d. 1929, formerly with Elder Dempster, and the first Lagos manager of the Bank of British West Africa), and Mrs Neville, those to Mr Neville include an important discussion about 'Nana' (Nanna OLOMU, deposed as 'indirect rule' governor of what is now most of the Delta State of Nigeria), in social and economic terms, suggesting Nanna might be amenable to building a new town for himself and his people and provide labour for Mr Swanzy's mines, she bares her heart over the alcohol question, missionaries, amateur officials, her feelings about native Africans, always with deep knowledge and her unconventional brand of common sense, other letters deal with interviews, lectures and articles, on one of which her uncle William Bailey suggests she "emigrate not later than the 25th", others again with the calls on her energy by relations, all written in Mary's inimitable humorous style even under the most trying conditions, and with her remarkable ability to 'network', with a press cutting of the memorial, 1901, to her at Eversley, and a letter identifying the recipient of two of the letters as Grant Reid, editor of the Aberdeen 'Northern Figaro', Mary's letters 54 sides 8vo., 100 Addison Road and 32 St. Mary Abbots Terrace, Kensington, 11th October 1895 - 20th September We have not come across any mention of the Neville correspondence. Mr Neville had a fine collection of artefacts, which Mary urges him not to lend (e.g. to ethnologist Ling Roth) but to keep intact. Of Neville's account of Nanna Olomu, she writes "it is the most important document that so far has come into my hands, because behind every paragraph of it I see my beloved native law". She takes the new Bishop of Sierra Leone (John Taylor Smith) to see them before he goes out in 1897, and asks if Mr Neville's friend "the black Bishop" (Isaac OLUWOLE, (1852-1932, Assistant Bishop at Lagos, from 1893, previously head of the grammar school there) "is still in London". Mary writes to them in increasingly affectionate terms, and in 1899 is intent on finding a house for them near her address in Kensington. Checklist (all 8vo). From 100 Addison Road: 1. 11th October 1895, 1 side, to 'Dear Madam'. "It is a comfort to get in touch with anyone who is not a mere vulture after copy", and suggesting dates. 2. 23rd December 1895, 2 sides, to 'Dear Madam'. Saying a friend has carried off 'The Queen' but lending some cuttings which are "near the truth", she will be "very glad to see you unprofessionally" any Saturday. 3. n.d. c. 1895, 2 sides, to Mrs Neville. "Thank you for the very pleasant afternoon. I reached home in a succession of omnibi" which she describes with Latin names, "I am talking like this because I have caught it from the Lady learned in butterflies who has been here going on in this awful way. for hours - the coralinne man did not come. The butterfly lady" says he usually gets lost "as soon as he gets out of the museum", enclosing a proof [not present] and asking if she and Mr Neville as "a great favour" will "put a pencil through those parts you disapprove of & add anything you think ought to be said". 4. 21st January 1896, 2 sides, to Mrs Neville. "Tell Mr Neville [he] has not seen half the palaver yet", and enclosing "the article on my letter" [not present], "I shall get into an awful row when the National Review comes out, my uncle [William Bailey] advises my emigrating not later than the 25th". 5. 12th June 1896, last side only, no addressee.

Suggesting he ask "the Ladies Realm who came and filched the only portrait of myself I have. to lend you their block. As for the book [Travels in West Africa] I have not a copy, myself, all Messrs MacMillan sent me I sent forthwith to my West Coast friends they will read anything gladly in West Africa". 9. n.d., c. April 1897, first 2 sides, to Mrs Neville. Explaining that "confusion has been made worse confounded. by my relations", the Revd. William Harrison, the Rector of Clovelly, and husband of her cousin Mary Kingsley ('Lucas Malet'), thinks it is "good. to mortify the flesh, i.e. leave off his underclothes & suddenly developing a dreadful affair in his throat. necessitating a severe operation. has had to be brought up to London. his wife has done most & I the remainder". 10. 12th May 1897, 2 sides, to Grant Reid.

I shall feel all the be.
