Miss Universe 1953 Contestants
Miss (pronounced ) is an English-language honorific typically used for a girl, for an unmarried woman (when not using another title such as "Doctor" or "Dame"), or for a married woman retaining her maiden name. Originating in the 17th century, it is a contraction of '' mistress''. The plural of ''Miss'' is ''Misses'' or occasionally ''Mses''.
