R. Harcourt. “I couldn’t believe it -â€" it was just wonderful," said Mrs. Har- court, a vivacious lady with lovely red hair. Later when the excite- ment had subsided, and in the quiet of her own home, Mrs. Harcourt talked about her love- ly little girl. All 20 finalists received dolls, second and third priz_es were more elaborate, and Darlene won a bi- cycle, 24 free dance lessons at Midmer Dance Studio, and her mother won a number of free shopping certificates, redeemable at Allencourt stores. Flanking Darlene on her throne were Pamela Carolyn Brown, 5, of 30 Knollside Drive, who plac- ed second in the finals, and Betty Anne Gray, 7, of 73 Benson Ave., who won third prize. She was crowned by Barbara Peirce, 6, last year’s Rose of Richmond Hill, and Barby was almost as big a hit as an official of the contest as she was as a participant last year. Very ceremoniously,‘ Barbara walked up to the rose throne on which Darlene was seated, placed the crown on her head, and then as cute as you’d like, spontaneously planted a little kiss on her successor’s cheek.

Next year she’ll have drama lessons. “She doesn’t enjoy wearing jeans, loves to be prettied up,” Mrs. Harcourt said. And what did Darlene think of her decisive win? “I was the luckiest little girl, wasn‘t 1?" she asked. To which one could only reply: Not lucky, the judges couldn’t help but choose her. Reeve Jas.
