Spick and Span 2000
/Melissa and Lucy
Sylvia Stuart
/Is That Me
No, is it really me? asks pretty SYLVIA STUART, office girl in an old town of Ayrshire. I mean what would mother say. Nothing I suppose, except does your grandmother know you've been to her chest. Smashing, aren't they? The beatniks aren't so crazy as I thought.
Well, I mean, they may not be a frightfully artistic adornment, but think of their worth up in the cold Highlands.
Pardon me - I was just getting ready to take a bath. But I'm not ready yet and my forthcoming immersion is the result of a mere slip. Of the feet. If it's too hot or too cold I shall yell my head off.
Oh, well, once you're in you're in, and once you're wet, you're all wet. Did I ever tell you about my grandfather all steamed up a Turkish bath? He didn't go off the boil for days.
Jackie West
/Unchained
When lovely Reading girl JACKIE WEST got married, she thought it was going to be all kitchens, sinks and hot ovens. Being utterly in love she thought she'd take the rough with the smooth, like, but after being carried over the threshold and put into the best armchair she heard him say,
"Now you just stay there while I put the kettle on.”
What a prize feller. Jackie felt unchained at once. The fact is hubby is very mod and likes being in the kitchen as much as she does.
Who wouldn't, with Jackie there?
Audrey Crane and Sandra Darvos
/Elegance
WELL. there's nothing quite like that elongated cigarette-holder to cap the elegance of AUDREY CRANE, a London model with a flair for looking gracefully streamlined. If there's one thing more than another which turns a guy's head that away it's feminine elegance-providing the girl doesn't use the cigarette-holder to poke his eye out.
Confirming elegance is the attribute of more than one girl is auburn-haired SANDRA DARVOS, also of London. Sandra has vitalistics of 36"-22"-35" and Audrey tapes up to 36"-23"-36", which represent figures acceptable to both them and us.
To some men, boats or kites represent the ultimate in interests outside their work. But what boat or kite can possibly have the lines to compete with the curves of Sandra and Audrey?
Or are we plain old fashioned in preferring photogenic elegance to kites caught up on TV aerials? A boat, of course, is a practical necessity to row a girl down the river but other than that, who cares?

Judie Jayson
/No Matter What
No matter what we present to you in the way of new faces and new features, there's always one more fan requesting the pleasure of seeing JUDIE JAYSON again.
So here she is. And we quite agree. She always looks just right. Judie can cook, too. Not that she gets a lot of time in the kitchen, she's too busy right now with film parts.
Some people have the right idea. Film people with discrimination are among them. They know what you know-that Judie in front of a camera is one of the most photogenic girls in the biz.
Carol Montgomery
/Where's My Tea?
"Yes, where's my tea?" said Jim.
There was always a cup of tea for him as soon as he got home in the evenings. There wasn't one on this occasion. There wasn't any wife, either.
CAROL MONTGOMERY, an utterly fetching housewife, had had her first modelling assignment, and got so wrapped up in the glamour of it that she forgot all about hurtling home on her moped to make tea for Jim.
Carol lives in Suffolk, which is full of old-world charm and other lovely housewives just like her.
When she did get back home, she gave Jim two cups. Well, he'd been a sport, he'd peeled the potatoes.
That's how to stay married, that is.
Span No 234 - 1974
Maria Steiwer
/Something For a Rainy Day
Young secretary from Munich is MARIA STEIWER, and she's just treated herself to something for a rainy day.
A lush, smooth, shiny leather coat.
Now you'll all want one. In one like Maria’s, you won't be able to wait for a rainy day. But don't fall over yourselves, girls, queue up nice and orderly. The first one to scratch someone else's eyes out will be drummed off the pavement.
Beautiful Britons No 207 - February 1973
Carol Leslie
/Old-Fashioned Girl
It's not so much the way CAROL LESLIE does her shorthand-typing, it's the way she looks when she's relaxing. Still, the old-fashioned look on some girls can be awfully cute. There was Mary Tomkins in her lace pantaloons and ribboned hair at the fete last month, and when she came down the helter-skelter, she looked delicious. A bit like Scarlet O' Hara.
Carol likes her old-fashioned look.
Well, it's no problem to us.
All girls are different. That's what makes it all so complex. You bow to one girl and kiss her hand and she thinks you're round the twist. But she says, "Oh, how gallant, Major Tuttley." You bow to another one and kiss her hand. She thinks you're round the twist too and says so. She says, "Here, give over or they'll lock me away as well."
It's all a matter of individuals.

Jacqueline Blair
/Hard Day's Work
When a girl has her usual job to do, like plugging away at her typewriter from 9 to 5, it makes a hard day of it to have the household chores thrown in as well, especially when, like JACQUELINE BLAIR, you're really dressed for a brisk, invigorating walk, in the countryside with a sweet little doggie or a fascinating P.T. instructor.
By the time you've come to terms with the cleaner and cooked yourself a quick souffle, its time, to retire in your shortie nightie. Never mind, Jackie, after a hard day's work you still look gorgeous.
