Girl who likes walking in the country is AMANDA JANSEN, but it's a bit tricky when there are trees in the way. You really need ski pants and hob-nailed boots when there’s climbing to be done. A mini-dress is built for swinging but not for tree-climbing. Amanda, an ash blonde, also collects posters. She likes them with toreadors and bulls on them. She lives in London.

Scots girl BETTY McBRIDE could only give one reason why she sported the now-fashionable old-fashioned longs—they keep her warm, she says, when the weather is either windy or cold or both. All we can say to that is well, well.
In America it’s the fashion to wear this type of garment for Twisting, but in the snowy wastes of Greenland the Eskimos wear them for the same reason as Betty!
Betty is no Eskimo. She’s a bonny Ayrshire lassie who can’t help looking cute whatever the weather or the apparel.

Right at the top of the pin-up poll is MAGGIE McCULLY favourite of thousands.
There are other girls who “send” us and other girls who engender the old “double-take" when we pass them in the street, but Maggie is way up on the list of those who make us really whistle.
Before you articulately express your own variations of a whistle, kindly count to ninety-nine. It prevents you falling apart.

If there’s a sweeter look than a candy look, it’s a candy stripes look, and if you want to eat ALICE RICHMOND we don’t blame you, because this lovely Scots lass is real sweet. Only don’t spoil it by asking if you can have ice cream as well.

What a fine thing for the old country it would be if we found a heavy-weight champ or even someone who could throw the hammer from here to the French wine country. It might make a mess of the wine bottles but think of the glory.
We know a girl who's looking for her own kind of champ.
DONNA MATHIS of the Midlands breeds doggies.
She also breeds Alsatians, which are a lot bigger than doggies. Her ambition is to exhibit a champion Alsatian.
We know an Alsatian. It's not a champ but what lovely teeth. Real, live choppers they are.

Title-winner in any legs contest you care to organise for the benefit of girls mad keen to demonstrate their eyecatching pins is, of course, LAURA MASON, one of your currently favourite glamour girls.

These days the really glamorous gals want to be models or air hostesses. Models only move up and down the catwalks, the excitement is all in the wearing of the newest and most sensational collections.
Air hostesses get around.
One moment they’re here.
A couple of hours later they’re in Rome or Tangiers.
The capitals of the world are theirs.
And as one air hostess said to the other air hostess, “When you’ve seen one, Cleo, you’ve seen them all.”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said Cleo, “the languages are different.”
“When you’ve heard one language,” said the first air hostess, “you’ve heard them all. What are you doing on Saturday?”
“Oh, I’m going to Berlin and back in the morning,” said Cleo.
"I’m going to a football match,” said the first air hostess.
Never mind about that. FIONA JAMES wants to fly. She wants to be an air hostess. She’s just right for a smart, well-cut uniform. She’s five feet six and measures 35"-23"-36".

There just isn’t room in the boot for two long legs and a spare tyre. The tyre will have to go. A guy can always throw out any amount of spare tyres or old haversacks or empty beer cans, but he wouldn’t and couldn’t throw out BUNNY. Bunny is too beautiful. Bunny is a private secretary with an extremely high I.Q. So much so that her favourite reading matter is Egyptian archaeology. If you know anything about the pyramids you could have quite a conversation with Bunny.

Advertising assistant PAM ROGERS considers she'd get too single-minded if she thought about nothing else except advertising.
A girl needs an interest to keep her from thinking only about her job.
Pam has lots of interests. Boy friends to make her feel wanted, and dancing to make her feel activated.
Then there's stage work to make her feel talented and beauty contests to make her feel lovely.
Well, with all those interests and a beautiful figure of 37-24-36, there's a lovely Pam she is.

SHIRLEY EPPS doesn’t need an awful lot of coaxing to come out, but she does need some tactful type to remind her that skirts, though short this season, are still being worn!
“I know that, stupid,” said Shirley, “and I’m not budging from here until mine turns up.” Shirley was, in fact, only hanging around the back door waiting for the dry cleaners to deliver the skirt.
At her New Year party she fell into the apple bucket.
Then the guy next door (who never misses a thing) popped his eyes over the fence. Shirley saw through that, however, and turned her back on him.
And when she finally get out it in a floral dress the skirt came shrunk.
Anyway, the floral frock was real springlike—and so, in the sunshine, was Shirley, as she gambolled over the grass.

They talk about four-leafed clover, emerald green and elusive leprachauns when they talk about Ireland, but what about their racehorses and their pubs? And what about their lakes?
Full of lovely blue-green water are their lakes.
And we know one with lovely blue-green eyes, MARION LAKE. And with the nicest shape as well. 36"-23"-37".
Marion decided that as she could never get on speaking terms with leprachauns and didn’t have much in common with horses, she might as well find out what life was like elsewhere. Just for a change, you know.
So, she came to England and settled on the South Coast. She lives in Brighton, that Regency-styled watering-place where they used to trundle the bathing huts down to the sea so that the ladies could step right out of the huts into the water without being goggled at. Marion thinks that was a lot of old blarney. So do we.

Wales is full of coal. It's lovely stuff and goes up in bright flame in a decent fireplace.
Out of a Welsh mining village there came not just Welsh nuts, however, but a beautiful Welsh dolly, SAMANTHA JONES. Jones the Eyeful the Welsh boys called her as they chased her home from school. One day Willy Bach caught her and then wished he hadn't because Samantha landed him a conker with her satchel and from then on he was known as Willy the Black Eye.

But Samantha is getting a little worried at the way Sneaky her snake is growing bigger every day, and she's thinking of changing him for a young cheetah.
Anyone got one?
Anyone who'd like to exchange it for a growing snake.
Cute, winsome and Welsh are sisters JENNIFER GOODMAN and GAYNOR GOODMAN. Jennifer is the beautiful brunette, Gaynor the attractive blonde, and this was the day when Jennifer heard suspicious noises in her room—where Gaynor was surreptitiously borrowing some of her sister’s black lingerie. Gaynor, hearing Jennifer haring up the stairs, hadn’t time to put the garment back and adopted the old and tried course of looking sweetly innocent. This is a look which comes easily to both blondes and brunettes. And also to redheads, for that matter.
"Pardon me,” said Jennifer, pulling hard, "but these are mine.”
"Yes, I know,” said Gaynor, “but do let me borrow them, Sis.” “Not likely,” said Jennifer, “so kindly let go.”
So Gaynor did. Suddenly like. That did it. Over they both went.
“At least,” said Jennifer, “you might have asked me first.”
“But if 1 had," said Gaynor, “you’d have said no.” “At least,” said Jennifer, “I wouldn’t have felt as ruffled as I do now.”
Both girls have common likes music, modelling and men but Jennifer just won’t share her black lingerie!
It was in Oslo, Norway, that INGA SVENSON was born.
She grew up to be one of those extremely shapely Scandinavian goddesses and all the Norwegian men who knew her, had high hopes of becoming her life partner, could hardly believe their rotten luck when she went off to England as an au pair girl.
Inga came to look at the country and to learn the language.
Well, when she'd had a good look and spoke the language excellently she decided to stay.
That was even worse luck for her Norwegian friends, but we're not grumbling. Inga is living in Hampshire at the moment and these are the very first pin-up photographs she’s posed for.
What a goddess.
We found dark-eyed TESSA KING down on the farm. Hubby's farm, where she helps to keep the furrows straight and the animals well-fed.
You think life on a farm can only build muscle and bone? Can only give a girl a weathered look? Then you haven't met Tessa.
Tessa stays as glamorous as she was when she was a bachelor girl, and there are no muscular bulges to the calves of her shapely legs. If, as a cynic, you want visible proof of this, here it is. How cute can a farmer’s wife get?
