Famous Meetings of Famous Women Venus de Milo and Winged Victory It is commonly, but erroneous- ly, assumed, that the first meet- ing between Venus de Milo and Wingéd Victory (the ring name of Niké Ptera) took place when the latter celebrity was wheeled past the armless wonder in the halls of the Louvre, in the late days of the Second Empire. But, as a matter of fact, they had met once before in an Athenian night club long before the Christian Era. To begin with, it was 3 M. and both ladies were petrified. yas a common occurrence , for light wines were taboo and the only drink obtain- able was bootleg ambrosia—a fit for the gods.) Venus didn’t like the angelic lady’s seeming par- tiality for her own Adonis and one word led to another—and every- one knows what these Greek words are! Before one could say Jack Robinopoulos, both ladies were at it tooth and nail (and I use the words advisedly). Between times each contestant had her face lifted. In the infighting Venus got in some dirty digs; but the wingéd damsel countered savage- ly and bit her opponent upon both arms. The night club hostess, one Arkansas Guinea- Henne, tore them apart, thereafter rendering them bills which rendered them unconscious. Venus didn’t come to until 4 that afternoon and blood poison had set in to such an extent that both arms had to be amputated. Doctors blamed her condition on the bites in- flicted by her infuriated opponent of the earlier morning; but Venus knew a swell lawyer who easil convinced the jury that the poisoned ambrosia was at fault and Arkansas had to come across with a healthy sum—reported to have been one-half the amount of the check which Venus had paid for refreshments. There is no truth to the asser- tion that Venus knocked her ad- versary’s block off, say contempo- rary writers. That worthy lady lived to a ripe old age, always going by her ring name, Wingéd Victory, sometimes in an un- guarded moment pronouncing the first name in one syllable. In sooth, she all but forgot her bap- tismal name of Niké Ptera and legend has it that in attempting to pronounce it in later years the poor girl sneezed her head off. —Roswe tu J.
