Lost and Found

Candidly, we're always losing things because we don't remember where we put them. Other people lose things because they're careless.

Canadian girl LISA SCOTT, married to a lovely Englishman her own description is neither forgetful nor careless. Well, not normally she isn't. But the other day she had an argument with a traffic warden, and it took the edge off her tidy mind. She couldn't think where she'd put her shopping list, her money, and her book of stamps.

She looked everywhere. She wasn't half cut up about her temporary mental aberration. Goodness, she thought, at twenty-one, is it a sign of old age? No, darling, just the upset condition traffic wardens get people into.

Anyway, all ended on a rapturous note. She found the missing items in the pocket of her car. Not wanting to lose them again, Lisa decided that the traditional lodging place favoured by so many women before stretch tights put paid to it, was her best bet against further loss. So, she tucked the items into the top of her stocking. How pretty.

I'll Be Glad To Come Back Later

It was McKenzie's turn to go round and fix the electric kettle for BRENDA JOHNS of Co. Durham.

But Brenda wasn't dressed for visitors.

She'd washed her favourite mini-skirt and was elegantly draping herself around the place waiting for it to dry. She made a genuinely photogenic sweater girl, anyway.

"All right,"' called McKenzie through the keyhole, "I'll be glad to come back later."

Fair enough. Brenda is an enchanting eyeful. She works as a receptionist in her boyfriend’s garage, she's twenty three and measures 36-23-36. She likes driving fast cars and Continental holidays.

And she's got a lovely profile.

Mmmmm.

Making a Splash

Enjoying all the invigorating delights of making a splash in the local river is SANDRA KEYES, blueeyed blonde. Sandra is a shorthand typist and a pop fan, with an eager beaver approach to all the healthy fun of life. Sandra's maxim is that you're only young once, her modest ambition is to marry and live in a country cottage. Lovely.

Oranges & Lemons

What makes a lovely girl more lovely?

What makes her more curvy as well?

Oranges and lemons, says JOANNE STEWART.

Joanne is a housewife who is also a dolly-bird of exceptional impact, this being due as much to her figure of 37-23-37 as her honey-gold hair.

What you do, she says, is this. You take one orange, peel it, dissect it, and eat it with a thin slice of dry toast. That's for breakfast, and you can have a weak cup of China tea as well, but no milk.

For lunch you have another orange, only with nuts. If you want to go mad you can finish off with a small glass of a tomato juice.

For dinner you can have two oranges, and if you must have something hot to go with them try half a haddock. For afters you can have two dates but no custard.

But the lemons, Joanne, you haven't mentioned them. Don't you have a lemon or two in between?

A lemon, says Joanne, is someone who believes all this. Honestly, some housewives with this sense of humour can't half make you feel a fool.

Cover Colour

Making our cover look very colourful this month is AMBER JACKSON, one of our latest lovelies.

Amber is willowy and gorgeous, and when she's not adding glamour and elegance to the London scene she's probably in Paris or Rome, trying to look over the fashion trends there while fending off ardent Latins who want to get to know her better.

"Honestly," she said when she arrived back on one occasion, "you daren't even smile or you get carried off to meet someone's mother with a view to being approved as a bride. Well, I hope as a bride, but you can never tell with those Continentals."

You're right, love. Some of them just have no principles.

Glamour In Law

When Mr. Bakewell Pursglove shot into the solicitor's office he was in a frenzy of irritation and very loud of voice.

“I want me rights, I want protection,” he roared, "that blue-bottomed monkey from next door has eaten all me flaming raspberries again."

'Oh, how distressing," said a soft, calm voice, “please take a seat, sir, and I’ll see if our Mr. Henry is free.”

The next thing Mr. Bakewell Pursglove knew was that a vision of warm-eyed enchantment was guiding him into a chair.

"Who are you?" he asked faintly.

The vision introduced herself as CATHY WINSLOW, an invaluable asset in any solicitor's office.

"Well never mind Mr. Henry or whatever his name is," said the infatuated Bakewell, "you'll do for me, darling. It's this perishing jungle creature they keep next door. Every year it sneaks over the fence and eats all me juiciest raspberries. Now what I want done.” And he went on about some kind of complicated civil action and in between managed to invite Cathy round to see his cucumber plants.

In return Cathy managed to pass him over to the senior partner and Bakewell wondered where all the enchantment of the place had gone.

Dolly Bird From Scotland

They're with it in Scotland, you know. In their kilts they've been swinging since Bonnie Prince Charlie. London has only recently caught up.

Shorthand-typist SUSANNE FERRIER is as eye-catching a dolly bird as any in the King's Road. She lives in a Glasgow suburb and commutes daily to and from the city centre.

She's a keen swimmer and is naturally a swinger when it comes to dancing at the Glasgow discotheques.

She confesses she loves conversation. That's a bit different from so many who adore the goggle-box.

What a lovely evening you could spend chatting her up. Susanne's vitalistics are 36-22-37.

Seen around the home, Susanne makes just the kind of leggy picture that's getting lamentably scarcer. The fashion fanatics don't know what they're doing to us with their stretch tights.

Can Spring Be Far Away

The fanfare heralding the arrival of spring seems ready to sound any moment when you see HEATHER ARMFIELD looking so vibrant amid all that foliage.

Heather is a receptionist and a real dolly.

She's so gorgeous she ought to be kept in diamonds and furs, and have her husband buy her a yacht as well, and if it doesn't work out that way someone is falling down on his responsibilities.

Dollies who look like radiant springtime are made to be spoiled. If you're too hard-up to spoil yours excessively, write a her a poem.

But You're A Big Girl Now

Little girls are the enchanting subject of the song.

When SADIE MILLIGAN was a little girl, she was a terror. Well, that's what all the other little girls said, but as for the little boys, ah, that's different. They shared their apples with her, and Billy always gave her half his jelly babies.

Sadie looked ever so cute reading her children's book in front of her slate.

But you're a big girl now, Sadie. I know I am (said Sadie) but I still like to wear my old-fashioned knickers. They remind me of Santa Claus in his red flannel nightgown.

If you can see the connection, we can't.

It must be something to do with having a warm, cosy childhood when you're a little girl.

A Book, A Bird and a Cosy Glow

By the fireside a winter's evening can be a lovely cosy glow. Scots’ girl MARGARET CARMICHAEL was all cosy glow as she relaxed on the rug with a good book. If there was only room for one more Harry McGurgle would be there with her, he's mad about good books and even madder about delicious birds and a cosy glow.

Margaret is a secretary, looks lovely taking dictation and entrancing tapping her typewriter. She measures 36-23-35. That may be nothing to do with typing, but it does indicate why she looks so good at it.

Tina

Typical of the verve and ebullience of today's dolly birds is the gay approach to life of TINA REYNOLDS.

Brown-haired and green-eyed, Tina measures 36-24-35, and her main interests are of the sporting kind. She's a willowy participant in squash, badminton and table tennis.

She also likes flying and hopes one day to do her solo stint.

Except that she's just become engaged and her fiancé doesn't think much of any flying stint which is so solo that he's left on the ground.
