Audrey Stewart
/Fashion Conscious
Glamour girl AUDREY STEWART is training to enter the ranks of the top-line fashion models, and talent plus training equals what!
If you assume (how can you not?) that two beans and three tomatoes make a funny kind of sauce, you must equally assume that talent plus training make a fashion model like Audrey.
And a fashion model like Audrey must be the tops, and that’s all this little lady asks for.

Val Morrow
/Warm Work
Secretary in Sydney, Australia, is VAL MORROW, and you know how warm it can get in Sydney. So, when the boss left Val doing a little overtime on the typewriter, she felt it wasn't going to be practical to let the heat reduce her to a mere sizzle.
So, Val got down to her work in cooler fashion and we can't say we blame her, particularly when she looks not only efficient but curvy. After all, even the most capable secretaries don't have to look just like a part of the office furniture, do they!

Nina James
/College Days
Studying very hard for a massive amount of O levels, NINA JAMES finds college days exhilarating but earnest.
Getting off the campus to the quiet of the countryside helps her to concentrate on the earnest side of study, and the only complaint comes from the college fellers worrying about where she’s got to.
Nina hopes to be a teacher eventually.
She'll make a highly photogenic one, and all the boys are going to give her toffees at Easter.

France Anglade
/When Can I Wear Something?
French film star FRANCE ANGLADE has a problem. Its all to do with the fact that the French film directors consider her too beautiful to wear all her clothes.
So, France has played any number of roles in a permanent state of lingerie-clad allure.
This is fine for the French cinema audiences, because there’s nothing Frenchmen appreciate more than lacy lingerie. But France has reached the point where she’d like to wear a dress or two.
Nevertheless, in her latest film she was persuaded to take on a part in which she appeared in black lingerie throughout, and you can see just how delectable she looks.
France may feel a little fed-up but we don’t.

Bobby Shaw
/Bobby's a Socker
When she was little her mum said she was a shocker.
Who said?
Her mum said.
Whose mum?
We’re talking about BOBBY SHAW. Her mum. When she was little her mum said she was a shocker.
Well, she’s not now, is she?
Now she’s a socker.
Eh?
Bobby’s a socker. You meet her, look her right in the eye and wham! — you’re socked, infatuated. Done for. Her slave for life.
Who said so?
Go away, you useless bitty-pitty. If a photographic model like Bobby Shaw doesn't have that kind of effect on you, you must have an armour - plated nutcase.

Mary Graham
/Medals For Mary
It’s a pleasure to record that lovely MARY GRAHAM has recently won a national beauty contest, and we’re only sorry we weren’t present to pin on the medals ourselves. But you can’t have everything, can you? It’s enough to know that we know Mary —that in itself is a privilege, for she is inexpressibly charming.
