Rensselaer Republican, Volume 22, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 November 1889 — The Prettiest Girl in St. Louis. [ARTICLE]
The Prettiest Girl in St. Louis.
Miss Nellie Pratt, who was chosen by the votes of the exposition visitors as the prettiest of all the pretty girls in the building, is a very handsome and petite young lady, who carries her honors easily. She is neither a blonde nor brunette, having golden hair, with just enough curl iu it to give a pretty effect to the well poised head. Deep blue eyes, which the owner knows how to use to the best advantage, sparkle saucily beneath drooping eyelashes, and a well-round-ed outline, with shapely arms and bust, small but well-formed feet and bands, coupled with a no t dress, makes an ensemble that is fair to look upon. Miss Pratt claims 19 summers to her credit, but tothe usual observer this looks like an exaggeration.
