Time Off From The Kitchen

It was a nice afternoon down in Dorset, so housewife KAY DE LISLE took time off from the kitchen to have a ramble around the countryside. She lost her skirt en route, it got hooked off by a clumsy-horned cow, and Kay was too sort of allergic to ask for it back.

Farmer Bulrush came along and Kay blushingly told him that one of his cows was responsible for her being in her knicks. "Ah, that be Daisy," he said, "her's a larky old dear.

Doan 'ee worry none, me darling, ain't seen a prettier pair o' knicks in years."

"Oh, you are awful," said Kay, "but ever so nice."

I Will See You In My Wig

Pop fan DONNA SHARP of Coventry in Warwickshire has just invested in a quite lovely wig. They're all wearing them. Donna isn't wearing hers in this pic, she's just having a chat with one of her boyfriends.

One? How many has she got, then?

Scores. She happens to be a smasher and there's safety in numbers.

"See you later, Jimmy," she said, "in my wig."

"I'm not wearing any wig of yours," said Jimmy.

"Watch it, comical," said Donna, "or you won’t see me at all."

Well, when he did see her Jimmy said, "Great galloping steamboats, you're groovy, baby, you've got 'em all licked."

We don't know what size Donna's wig is but Donna herself measures 36-23-36. That's what they call the makings of an even disposition. Anyone who differs considerably from this and measures something like 30- 30-37 can resign themselves to the fact that they've slipped.

Number Please

We don’t really care whether it's Pipkin 1234 or Tantivy 5678 as far as the directory goes - in our book when a number’s right it’s a number just like SARA SCOTT, corn-coloured blonde with a long leg line and a short hemline.

Speaking of numbers reminds us of figures, and figures remind us that Sara adds up to 36"-23"-35" going down, which Is as much about mathematics as we feel we need to know. We can't all be Einstein’s

This, by the way, is to show you that Sara looks just as attractive in one outfit as she does in another. But you knew that, of course.

Sara is just twenty as well as just the right number and the right number is any girl who rings the bell in the camera view finder. Sara rings it loud and clear.

One Of The Serious Kind

A lot of you read all sorts of things about students and what they get up to and why they kick around, but you don't read so much about students who just get on with it.

One of the serious kind when it comes to applying herself to her studies is MELANIE DAVIES of Southampton. She’s really getting down to it at her university, but because it’s only the upset kind who get their names in the papers, we thought we’d do something about giving Melanie a mention.

Of course, in the first place she’s a very good looking student, and in the second place she makes the cutest pin-up girl. She’s lovely and symmetrical. 36"-24'-36'.

And she’s eighteen years old and that’s a vital age in anyone's life.

Can Can ?

North of the Border the terpsichorean accent is more on eightsome reels than Can-Cans, but never let it be said that a true Scot can’t adapt herself to the mood of the moment. When the mood took on a French bias, we asked ISOBEL MILLER if she could Can-Can for us, she said ‘Oui, oui,” in Gaelic and then told us to stand back and measure the high kicks.

But how can you measure a kick that practically goes out of sight ?

You can’t. Anymore than Isobel can stop her suspender-clips slipping off her stocking-tops.

This is no high kick—it’s not any part of a Can- Can. All it does for Isobel is keep her suspenders in place!

Oh, well, it’s one way of getting the right angle on Isobel’s nice round knees. Other interesting assets are in inches - 35"-22"-35"

Helen Candlish

Oops!

Well, that’s the way it goes when pretty HELEN CANDLISH decides to do a spot of sun-bathing in a recalcitrant deckchair.

The sun’s right, and so is Helen. The only thing giving any real trouble is the chair. Helen may look as if she's sorted it out satisfactorily, but appearances are always deceptive.

There we are and all we can say to Helen is how simple she was to allow herself to be let down this away. Think of any recalcitrant deckchair and you’re on the track of one darned bump after another.

Ah, well, aplomb restored and there are no ladders and no tears. No one can take a bump and come up with this kind of smile like Helen can.

Bom-Diddy-Bom-Bom

Well, what else can we say?

We light on a view like this in the Scottish Highlands and what else is there except wow?

This is ANNE SCOTT, television personality and just about the shapeliest model North of the Border. They may have taken the old Flying Scot out of service, but they’ll never make Anne obsolete while she still has enough puff.

Puff? Well, all right, glamour.

You're stuck for conversation as you bump into her. You’re speechless.

You feel like a gormless goggler. All you can say is Bom-diddy-bom-bom.

That’s what we said in the first place.

I'll Catch You Up

They were panting along down the grassy track, their spiked shoes picking up every leaf until their soles were absolutely clogged with the stuff.

It was one of those exhausting cross-country events which only fanatics go in for, and Prideaux senior was leading the field, with Biffkins panting behind him.

Suddenly Prideaux senior gave up. He stopped dead. Biffkins panted by him, breasting the upward slope that led out of the wood into a field full of chewing cows.

"It’s all right, Biffkins,” said Prideaux, “I’ll catch you up.”

Crafty devil. He didn’t say a word to Biffkins that he’d seen a gorgeous blonde perilously near some barbed wire, and poor old Biffkins just panted on and never knew what he’d missed.

What had he missed?

A corker. CAROLE-ANNE BLAKE is a London model with lovely shape and a winsome twinkle. Prideaux senior introduced himself and said, “Just thought I’d tell you about the barbed wire.”

“Oh thanks,” said Carole-Anne, “but I know about it.”

Still, she thought, he was an awfully decent young feller to point it out to her and they had a long chat about wildflowers, and Prideaux said he collected stamps as well.

Good old Prideaux senior.
