Cute Miss Canute

Emulating the hopeful king of ancient tradition, FIONA HAMPSHIRE has no better luck. But the beauty of this beauty is that she doesn't care half as much as good old Canute. He was considerably put out, but Fiona just finds the wet waves a matter for a shivery giggle. Fiona, a finalist in the Miss Bognor Regis contest, is a fashion model, who likes horses, ten-pin bowling and photography. What she is good at is painting and usually sells each canvas as she completes it.

Gina

She’s a Witch

Girl with a wizard figure who is building quite a reputation in London’s Chelsea as a witch is dark and delectable Gina.

One thing's for sure: she has a strange power over men. They tell their wives "I'm just popping out for a spell" and rush straight to Gina. But (whisper it) she failed the QT Editor's test. He wanted her to magic up more girls with her measurements. Well, maybe she didn't wand competition!

Measure For Measure

Whichever way round you look at it, that tape measure says that SANDRA MARSH of Bristol takes a 39 bra.

That makes Sandra's overall vitalistics tape up to 39"-24"-37" and if that isn't a perfect overall measurement for an itsy-bitsy bikini, our opinion isn't worth an empty coconut and we won't venture to give it in future. Sandra is a salesgirl, her hobby is photographic modelling, she's a pop fan and makes a fascinating companion for a mountain climb.

We can't climb a mountain without falling off, which is why Sandra would be the only fascinating thing about it.

Molly Peters

Leading Lady

She was dancing in the hay. She led with her left foot and followed with her right while the left was still up in the air. "I might have known," said MOLLY PETERS, stage and screen star, "anybody might have known. If both legs are in the air at the same time, gravitation will have its inevitable effect on you, and like me you'll end up flat on your back. By the way, I hope you like my boots. I bought them in Mayfair."

They look lovely. Don't get up. Just keep waving them about.

Susan Douglas

Shades of Sophia

Remember Sophia Loren in the film The Millionairess? How she looked in her black lingerie and wide brimmed hat? Well, SUSAN DOUGLAS may be in white instead of black, but would you say we were uncommonly biased if we said Susan looks just as good? After all, as one pink elephant said to another pink elephant, "Hello, good-looking."

The Things We Do For Art

Art who? Art Kimble, affectionately known to his intimates as Goof. A great friend of ours, and we'd do anything for him except lend him a fiver. He's got enough of his own. But we're off course, Goof has nothing to do with this. We should have said cinematic art. Lovely HELGA SOMMERFELD German star, is rehearsing a scene where she's strapped to the revolving target while some incomprehensible cad throws knives all round her. We wouldn't do that for any art, there are some incomprehensible cads who can't throw accurately at a static target, let alone a moving one.

Crazy Stockings

Should employers have any say in what a secretary should, or should not, wear ?

Definitely not, says delicious little Kim Dale firmly. Apparently, her boss objected to her wearing these stockings to the office.

They gave him a headache!

However, being a kindly man, he invited her back to his flat so that he could study the stockings. It might, he said, help him to get used to them.

All that's happened, murmurs Kim, is that he's more pop-eyed than ever! What about you?

You Know What Sailors Are

Sailors are men who go round the world in ships and find out the phone numbers of the curviest girls in every port. As soon as they dock, they get on the nearest blower.

"Hello, is that you, Rosie? This is Bert."

"Oh, how thrilling. Come right round and ring three times. That'll just give me time to load my shotgun."

Well, you know what sailors are. Sometimes it makes the girls real mad.

Of course, not all sailors are like Bert.

LAURETTE ATKIN is a sailor. She sails in Poole Harbour all wrapped up in mustard-coloured oilskins when it's rough. She's got a 12-foot dinghy and she can sail rings round the marker buoys when the tiller gets stuck.

She wasn't out in her dinghy when we took these photographs of her. She was just outside Bournemouth, and she was having a landlubber's holiday or something. Later we went to crew for her. We fell overboard. It was a shockingly wet way to go.

Schoolgirl Complexion

IT'S not Anna's face that's been her fortune-it's her slim, boyish figure. For a long while now, she's been modelling schoolgirl's wear. "I must," she smiles, "be the only 22 year-old schoolgirl in the modelling business". But now she's getting tired of being seen only in gym smocks and navy bloomers. She's thrown aside the hockey stick and emerged as a woman QT style. Our view? Stay behind after class, Anna!

Sure, Is It Meself Now?

It sure is. From the shores of the Emerald Isle itself comes Miss PEGGY O'NEILL to charm the vertebrae off the backs of every black-hearted Englishman, so she will. She's taken up residence in Chelsea to add to the shamrock motif around there and to show 'em what she can breed in the ways of dogs. But she's really up in the air when she's exercising her favourite sport flying.

Bombs away. Look out, Sir George, that's one of theirs.

Jennifer Goodman

Welsh Charm

Soft-eyed, lilting-voiced and dark-haired are many Welsh girls, and appealing in her own natural charm is JENNIFER GOODMAN of Swansea. Welsh readers who frequently ask for more features on their own girls should find Jennifer just the right answer. If they don't, they're too hard to please.

Jennifer is a wages clerk, and a darned delightful one at that. whose hobbies are dressmaking, designing, music, modelling and men. Don't ask us in what order just make your own guess.

Jennifer's vitalistics amount to 35"23"36", which means the structure is nicely streamlined and the curves just right. Out and about she is glamorous and eye-catching and she's not far short of this indoors, either!

Three Girl Mix

These three shots are all of lovely VERENA MAY, a starlet featured in German films, and who has a dark beauty not usually associated with fair Teutons. The hairstyle can change the look but not the girl.

Windswept on a swing is GISELA SCHUMANN, and snug in a chair is BARBARA BONGE.
