Found In The Mail

It was just one more large envelope among a multitude of other envelopes in the mail but imagine our undiluted joy when out of it fell a photograph of our bonny Scot, RUTH CAVENDISH.

Ruth is simply delicious.

Pin-ups from North of the Border all have that well-known bonny look, none more so than Miss Cavendish.

White teeth, laughing eyes and curves.

You don't find them like that every day in the mail. We'd have told our postman about her but he's a non-starter in any conversation that doesn't revolve around his tender feet.

Julie Mitchell

Student Teacher

Training to be a teacher is JULIE MITCHELL.

Julie is a Midlands girl and as well as being ever so brainy she's also ever so dishy. Her pupils are going to welcome her with open arms, especially the boys.

Julie's subjects are English and Maths. And she's a lovely netballer, as well as a corking tennis player. Some school's going to get quite an acquisition.

Anyone wanting to enrol?

Caroline Spencer

Housewife and Secretary

The epitome of feminine perfection today must be that which is brought about by a girl who is a loving housewife, an efficient secretary and absolutely smashing.

Absolutely smashing is CAROLINE SPENCER.

Housewife and secretary, Caroline can even make male hippies quiver at the knees. Male hippies don't normally react to anything or anybody unless it or they look like something that just got pushed over a cliff. We’re not anti-hippy. Don't think that. It's just that when they grow up, they won't have any tender memories, only ones like "When I was young, I lived in bus shelters and got lousy.”

Caroline is our bet for the housewife we'd most like to make a souffle with.

Many a Mrs. like Caroline makes life lovely in the kitchen.

Can You See Ferdinand

Up in this part of the Scottish Highlands there's a farm that wanders over countless acres, and if you're anywhere near watch out for Ferdinand.

RUTH CAVENDISH in the ankle boots and ANNE SCOTT in the high boots were near enough on this occasion to feel just a mite nervous. So much so that they hitched up their skirts to be all ready to vamoose if Ferdinand did appear.

And sure, enough a pair of inimical horns hove into view eventually and our two lovelies did not stand upon their going but went.

'"Hold on,' panted Ruth after a mile or so, "that's not Ferdinand, that's

Bessie."

"Oh, how sweet," said Anne.

Bessie, of course, is Ferdinand's lovable mate.

Brandy For Hair?

If you think this is all about how to stop your hair falling out by giving it brandy, you must be going bald or something.

We are actually referring to BRANDY SCOTT, a most intriguingly named dolly from the southwest.

It's Brandy's ambition, as a talented amateur dramatics performer and a dancer who naturally delights the eye, to appear in the musical HAIR. Girls of extremely noteworthy talent have appeared in this fabulously modern musical, and Brandy would make one more never-to-be-forgotten member of the cast.

A Picture Of Health

Beauty queen ANNE DUKE is what we call a picture of health.

It helps, of course, to have a figure of 37-24-36, since in the eye of the beholder this gives any girl a good start in the health stakes.

Anne was born in Wales and now lives in Berkshire, where she is able to indulge one of her passions car driving amid miles and miles of quiet countryside.

Driving her Mini is something Anne adores; she just loves to be behind the wheel.

How about boyfriends, then?

Boyfriends (said Anne) are marvellous, because you can always ring them up and have them change a wheel or unclog a carburettor or something. Boyfriends mustn't only be good-natured and dishy; they must also be practical as well.

At twenty-one, Anne is no slowcoach when it comes to assessing the masculine qualities that appeal most to her.

Victoriana Was Never Like This

Victoriana was bric-a-brac, red flannel and whacking great pieces of furniture. It still is. Only people collect it now instead of throwing it away.

Victoriana was music-hall.

The music-hall featured girls in funny tights and yards of lace, and sometimes male impersonators in top hats.

A girl like JEAN ASTON looks great in a top hat, but you couldn't include her in any Victorian set-up.

The top hat would have been approved but not the skimpy undies, they'd have locked her up and sent out for a dress that reached to her ankles.

Oh well, san fairy.

She's acceptable in this modern age. And she only sings and dances for amateur shows. There's always a rush to fill the seats, of course, a because a lovely amateur can be an audience's idea of sheer delight.

Tiffany Trace

Tiffany

That's a name that's caught on lately.

It certainly suits a certain lively, lovely blonde dolly called TIFFANY TRACE.

Tiffany is a riding-school instructress and can teach even the most awkward-looking pupil to develop a graceful seat. She's nineteen, has green eyes and intends in due course to see the world-probably on horseback.

Besides being good with horses she can also paint and her main outdoor activity, aside from an exhilarating gallop, is archery.

If your only interest is going down to the corner shop for fish and chips, you'll be inert in five year’s time. Buy yourself a saddle and look for a horse.

Calling All Collies

If you're a nice big cuddly collie doggie, looking for a nice cosy cuddly home, why not get in touch with cosy cuddly INGRID NORSMAN?

If you're lost around the Cotswolds, Ingrid might be pleased to hear from you. Ingrid is an absolutely bewitching dog-lover. Honestly, some of you galumping great St. Bernards get better treatment from Ingrid than a mislaid pop star in need of his mother.

“What would you rather have for Easter, Ingrid? A famous pop star or a woolly collie?”

“Don't make me laugh, what would do with a pop star? You can take a woolly collie for a lovely ramble. You can't take a pop star anywhere except where the windows are all shut to keep the noise in.”

This is Ingrid.

Cuddly collies, please note.
