Description
English:

Iowa-born Leona Nathalie Fengler (1903-1990), a graduate of Queen Anne High School, was chosen as Miss Seattle to represent the city at the Atlantic City Beauty Pageant (now the Miss America Pageant) in 1926. Miss Fengler did not win the pageant but was declared by the judges to be equally at home in a drawing room or on the tennis court. In this image, taken about the time of the Atlantic City pageant, Miss Fengler poses at Bushnell Studio, wearing a bathing suit and heels. The pageant contestants were judged in stylish afternoon attire by judges, and the public alike, who shared in 50 percent of the final score.
