These girls are neither ghosts nor members of the Ku Klux Klan, but entrants in the contest to select the girl with the most beautiful legs. Flour sacks were placed over the girls' heads to prevent the judges and Mr. Louis Zinberg (left), who presented the awards, from being swayed in their selections by pretty faces and figures. Miss Cecille Joseph of New York City (extreme right) was the winner.
