Dawn Grayson
/Nice Finish
In fact, we don't know how to make a better finish than with DAWN GRAYSON. Dawn is still in the United States, still slaying the cowboys and the oilmen, but she looks as English as ever.
Anna Reingold
/Continental Sightseer
A girl who likes travel is ANNA REINGOLD. She's been all over the place. If that sounds untidy it's not Anna's fault, it's ours.
A Continental herself, she's wandered around most of the European countries and seen the sights in most of the capitals. Now she's in England, and not just to have a look at London but at the countryside as well.
She likes to lose herself in villages and hamlets. Farmers' sons like it too, it gives them an opportunity to be helpful and follow up with an invitation to show Anna round the dairy. One young spark asked her if she'd like to help with the milking as the electrical contraption had broken down. Anna was willing but a mere beginner. The cow got huffy and went off in a sulk. But it was great fun for Anna.
Susanne Churchill
/Is That The Operator?
When you’ve got through to the operator after spending a mad thirty minutes trying to get a straightforward number, have you ever wondered what she’s like? You hear her voice, golden and velvet and full of soothing solicitude, and you think my word, how can I blow my top when melody is ringing my eardrums?
“Is that the operator?”
“Yes. Can I help you?”
“I was on fire. I’m better now. When’s your night off?”
An absolutely delicious telephone operator is SUSANNE CHURCHILL of Brighton, Sussex. It’s not only a pleasure to listen to her telling you to hold the line, it’s an education.
Susanne likes fast cars and dress-designing. She designs and makes most of her own clothes, in fact. In addition, she’s a creamy, golden blonde and a joy to the ear of any man who works in an iron foundry or goes to football matches.
Susan Douglas
/Summer Weight
Now that summer is really here it’s warm enough for SUSAN DOUGLAS to model her summer weight lingerie, which makes her the coolest girl we know. This, of course, is recommended to be just the right weight to wear under a Courreges-style outfit. Slick, mod and unobtrusive. Lovely, in fact
Elaine Masters
/Focus On A Dolly
A dolly is a bird both young and endearing.
Like ELAINE MASTERS.
Age, eighteen. Measurements, 36-23-35. Elevation, five feet five. Sum total, enchantment.
Interests, good books, pop music, Spain, France and London. Work, salesgirl. Ambitions, oh just a sports car and a horse. Spare time hobby, being a pin-up girl.
Effect, she makes this mixed-up world look as if it's got a future, after all.
Barbara Harrison
/How To Remain Lovely If Harassed
You wouldn't believe it but it's true. This young-looking brunette with the shapely legs and enchanting figure is another of those incredible mums you see pushing the pram and doing the shopping.
Very incredible is BARBARA HARRISON. She's a Yorkshire beauty, a housewife and the mother of four bonny children. No doubt about it, you can be harassed by four children, to say nothing of dad, but Barbara just lets it all pass her by and remains patient, good-tempered and lovely.
Her figure currently is 37-24-36. How about that, eh? Good on you, mum.
Jennie Jones
/Our Miss Jones
Making a name for herself in the glamour girl orbit is JENNIE JONES, who lives south of the river in London and is contriving, merely by looking her naturally delicious self, to have even the most sophisticated photographers breathe deeply.
Steamed-up view-finders result.
Jennie is eighteen and has the immaculate look of a girl who has attended a modelling school and listened diligently to the principal. She moves with petite grace and her make-up is perfect.
She likes horse-riding. Watch out for her in Hyde Park, cantering down Rotten Row. The name of her horse is Pegasus.
Annette Carter (Crystal Farmer)
/My Word
The man with the rent book looked up as the door opened and tenant ANNETTE CARTER appeared.
“My word” said the fascinated rent collector.
“Oh, help” blushed Annette, a secretary and a doll.
"What a charming hat," said he.
"I thought you were Christabel," gasped Annette, "I'm not dressed to receive anyone else." And she retreated rapidly, trying to hide herself behind the curtain, but it was much too short.
"I'll come back later, shall I?" said the rent collector.
"Well, don't let's argue about it," said Annette, looking delicious in the palest pink knicks, "that would suit me fine."
And when he came back later, she pushed the rent under the door and he didn't even get another look at her hat.
Sylvia Wood
/Long John Sylvia
Long John Silver had a wooden leg and was a bit of a sea-going old villain. SYLVIA WOOD has got her own original and lovely legs and she's never been to sea, except on channel ferries.
She likes to wear her Long Johns in the winter, when she's on the terraces cheering her favourite soccer team. They keep her snugly warm. Well, what was good enough for grandma is good enough for Sylvia.
Mystery Model (Maureen Pike)
/Mystery Model
Can anyone please help identify this lovely looking girl? She looks familiar to me, but I just can’t place her. Your help would be appreciated.
Solved
Thanks for your help with this. Her name is Maureen Pike (Worth) with this picture being taken from a set used in Spick 259 but not published.
Many thanks to those that contacted me.
Kim Scott
/Off Duty
Air stewardess KIM SCOTT isn't always flying over the Atlantic or the Continent on her way to places undreamed of by so many of us.
She's often off duty.
Off duty Kim looks just like this, lovely and dishy and relaxed. Naturally, the phone is always ringing. Boyfriends don't mind her relaxing as long as it doesn't interfere with taking her out to an Italian restaurant or a West-end disco.
Kim mostly prefers a restaurant where she can sit down. She's so much on her feet up in the air that an evening at a disco is rather like a busman's holiday.
Caroline Ford
/There's Always a Good Day
Some days it's all go for CAROLINE FORD. She's a busy secretary for an energetic boss. She often has to work like a beaver on Saturdays as well.
But there's always a good day. Sunday. Then Caroline can relax. Her idea of how to unwind is to play tennis all day or go sailing. We'd get all beat up at tennis or soaked stupid at yachting, but not Caroline.
She is rejuvenated, she says.
That sounds like something that would put us in hospital.
Nina Swallow
/Crossing the Line
There wasn't much danger of being hit by an express as NINA SWALLOW crossed the line down in the woods. It was only an old track once used to trundle wagons to and from the old quarry and Nina was just kicking around in her new boots.
Nina lives in Ealing, West London, and one of her outdoor recreations is walking. She likes old byways and country lanes and has a glamorous job as a house model to a firm of coat manufacturers.
All the products, look gorgeous on Nina, whose vitalistics are 37-24-36, and she keeps her shape in good, unvarying trim by her long walks.

Sandra Saffron
/Victorian Bliss
The mod cons of Victorian days weren't the most imaginative form of plumbing. They were practical without being decorative. Six out of every ten cons were out at the back or even at the bottom of the garden, while bathrooms were considered a bit cissy.
Hip baths were the thing. You put one on the kitchen floor, filled it with hot water and sank as much of yourself into it as you could. It might sound a bit primitive now but to any Victorians who liked a bath it was bliss.
London dolly SANDRA SAFFRON found a genuine old hip bath in a market and bought it. Having got it home with the friendly help of a chap who was more interested in shapes than curios, Sandra thought she'd sample a bit of the old Victorian bliss herself. In the garden.
A great time was had by Sandra and everyone who could see over the garden walls.
