Academic Form

Girl getting down to her university studies with dedicated intensity is SALLY DIXON.

With a natural built-in talent for learning, Sally is a student certain to get her degree. Her academic form is the joy of all the professors, especially when Sally is sitting in the front row during their lectures. There's nothing any conscientious professor likes better than a dedicated student who makes the lecture hall look as if it’s filled with light and beauty.

To help pay for her studies Sally does some part-time modelling, and it's no secret to say that London photographers regard her in their viewfinders with just as much aesthetic pleasure as the professors view her in the front row of the lecture hall.

Some students are very learned types.

Sally is very learned and very dishy.

Blue-stockings are out.

Come Into The Garden

You'll have a long way to go to join HEATHER CHAFFEY in her garden. Heather lives in New South Wales, which is about 12,000 miles from London, but if you're an undivertible fanatic about gardens no amount of mileage could put you off, could it?

Heather, an Australian housewife, doesn't only have a colourful garden she also has a lovely kitchen equipped to ensure her Australian steaks emerge lushly sizzling.

You'd like an Australian steak, wouldn't you? You'll need one after going 12,000 miles. Then you could walk round Heather's garden and listen to the evening kookaburras.

And just as everything was getting harmonious Heather's husband would arrive home and conk you silly for treading on his Australian mimosa. Serve you right.

Flower Girl

For a perfect combination, a vase of flowers and a pretty girl MARY GRAHAM takes some walloping.

Mary is a long-legged Scot, black of hair and brown of eye.

And that’s another combination—all adding up to as pretty a picture as you'll find outside of any art gallery.

Charm

Somewhere around Ealing in West London, there's a lot of charm walking about, and you can include NINA SWALLOW in that category. Walking around the shops and stores Nina adds up to a curvy eyecatcher and is in fact resident model for a firm of coat manufacturers. Her current ambition, naturally, is to become a top free-lance fashion model and if the charm of good looks counts at all, Nina can't miss.

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.

Concentrate

It's not always easy to concentrate when getting out of a car. You have your mind on your shopping, but not your legs, and before you can say “Bother it,” you've got a run in your nylons. Still, if you look as pretty as ANTONIE MERLY when you're fixing the run it's quite a consolation. And if you look as fetching as RENATE KLEEMAN when you're perched on the bonnet you can go to anyone's head. Antonie and Renate are both from West Germany.

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.

Plain and Fancy - Modern Life 1968

Footless and fancy free used to be a popular expression, but with the coming of the new mod fashions, fancy is no longer free it is in strong competition with the plain sheer stocking. On these and on the following pages, MODern Life presents, from London, England. Dawn Grayson and Penny Winters in the battle of the Stockings. Dawn, wearing the plain, sheer stockings, is one of London's top models. Penny, in plaid stockings, is one of England's leading strippers.

The battle is on. Here Penny and Dawn face each other. Dawn leads with long, leggy advance with no holds barred. Penny on the other hand, counters with a foot-on-bench and peeka-boo lead.

Not to be out manoeuvred, Dawn returns with a full body attack with arms high, chest out, stomach in and knees bent. Here Dawn excels in classic body style. On the other hand, Penny relaxes and awaits the opportunity to counter. She extends her long lead and covers up with her fancy gams close to her chest. Then, to confuse her opponent, she drops into a chair, but she keeps her fancy stockings out in front of her. The straight attack may be best, she observes, as she stands fully erect in the centre of the arena. But no matter how you look at it. the battle of the stockings appears to be a draw.

Realizing that the battle may end in a draw, both girls open up. Penny opens up with a straight right to the patterned stocking. Then raising her skirt high she exposes the full extent of her ability. Dawn, taking advantage of her opponent's strategy, crosses her right over to the top of her left plain, sheer stocking.

As the contest draws to a close, both contestants expose their finer points. Dawn with a right to her head and a left to permit her plain, sheer stocking to score. Penny turns to her left and scores with a right to her patterned stocking. The winner? There are none.

Dishy Denise

Girl with dreamy brown eyes is DENISE BAKER, a very dishy addition to the London scene, and if you've got a girlfriend just like her, aren't you lucky? You don't have to spend rainy days sticking stamps in your album, you can call her up and have some scintillating crosstalk. How are you on telephonic crosstalk?

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.
