Legless Beauty Gets Job as Model Though Confined by Wreck Injuries;

Sponsors Praise Determined Courage

1936 ‘Miss New Jersey’ Fights to Overcome Misfortune.

By MARIAN YOUNG NEA Staff Correspondent | HACKENSACK, N. J, July 1.—| The story of Jessie Simpson, 18-| year-old “Miss Jersey of 1936” who | lost both of her legs in a recent railroad accident, 1s the newest proof that although the world loves a lover, its cheers go to the fighter who won't be licked. \ If the world had heard only that | the tragic accident postponed Miss | Simpson's marriage to a young man | in Hackensack, the story would | have been forgotten by now. How- | ever. when ‘it became known that | the attractive brunet had no in-| tention of remaining an invalid and | was busily trying to figure out a way to continue earning her living, | a kindly world turned not only a | sympathetic ear but a helping | nand A watch company has made it possible for Jessie Simpson to earn | a living with her beautiful hands and arms She will model their | new watches until the day somes | | | |

when she can have artificial legs. | In fact. so impressed are they with her ability to model watches | and with the shining beauty of her | face and hair that they have given | her a six-months’ contract, one | which does not exclude other mod- | cling jobs. { Character Enslaves Sponsors Impressed by tales of the former telephone operator's courage, real- | izing that her smooth olive skin | and long curly black hair are un-

usually lovely, such important artists as Howard Chandler Christy, Dean Cornwell, Arthur

William Brown and Hal Phyfe proclaimed willingness to further foster her modelling career when she is able to walk again. All have asked her to pose for them as soon as che can “But don’t think for a moment that her beautiful hands and face alone brought her these chances to make a living and be a happy, useful citizen,” said one watch company executive. “To understand what has hapnened. one must know something of Jessie's spirit and courage as well as her good looks. The sheer loveliness of her personality and! her splendid determination never to be a burden to her family or | friends have made us her willing subjects.” Savs Arthur William Brown: | “Jessie Simpson's courage of soul s evident as an integral part of | the beauty of her face. Her hands | have character—and beauty. I] never engage a model by her face | and ficure alone. I always look at her hands. Hands can express so much, can accentuate other charming features.” And Hal Phyfe, noted photographer, adds that Miss Simpson is flawlessly beautiful—a perfect photographic model.

The resolute courage that enables Jessie Simpson (above) to face the future unfiinchingly though both legs were amputated, highlights the beauty that won her the title of “Miss New Jersey” last year.
