I'd Rather Ride Circus Horses Says Pretty French Countess
New York—(UP)—A pretty French countess has given up a chance to be a photographers' model because she'd rather ride horses in a circus. It's just that she's crazy about horses.
And unless the modeling offers get too attractive she's going to stick to her horses and Ringling Brothers circus.
to her horses and Ringing Brothers cross.

Panaque, Countess Mesnet De La Cour, is the daughter of a wealthy Parisian champagne and brandy merchant. When the Germans occupied France, she had just turned 20, and she had 100 horses. A friend suggested she could save some of them from requisition by saying she rode them in a circus. The Germans wanted proof. Claude took her horses to a circus at Amiens and gave a riding demonstration that convinced the Germans.
A year ago a Ringling Brothers agent in France heard her story and signed her up to tour America with the big top.
Harry Conover, model agency head, said he was "simply minding my own business at home" when Claude's act followed the aerialists on the television screen.
"Something struck me about her." Mr. Conover said. "Of course, I always look at faces. And she had such wonderful bearing, not strictly circus."
He sent her around to a fashion magazine editor and a top flight photographer. They're crazy about her, Mr. Conover said. He's prepared to start her out at $15 an hour and send her around with an interpreter.
"Oh yes, I would like it, a little," Claude said. "But for work, I would rather be with the circus."
