Quite Moment

You too can suffer from aching feet when overcrowded buses force you to walk home from the office.

JAN NEWMAN felt just that way the other day. So, when she got home, she put her feet up and had a quiet moment with a book. It was utter bliss. It would have been even more so if she could have got her shoes off, but for the first five minutes she couldn't. It's those hot Bournemouth pavements.

''Honestly,' said Jan, "you might not believe it, but my toes were giving off smoke.' Never mind, Jan, your shoes look very pretty.

River View

You can't beat the peace and quiet of a river view. Berkshire housewife LOUISE GRAYSON lives close to the Thames and whenever she wants to get away from it all she wanders off to find a secluded spot. And there she makes the view look even better than before.

Andrea Kaye

Happiness

Not for Dorset girl ANDREA KAYE is the dubious value of wanting fame and fortune.

Happiness to Andrea is in the simple things. Her one ambition is to get married to a really nice guy, to become a wife and mother and to let everyone else worry about finding a goldmine.

Andrea enjoys walking, dancing and good books.

She’s vivacious, healthy and deliciously uninhibited. Anyone who needs a psychiatrist is bonkers, she thinks.

She could be right.

Sunshine Girl

Girl we'd most like to bake in the sun with must be DAWN GRAYSON because not only is Dawn better to bake with than the average gas inspector, she also lends a sympathetic ear to our complaints about tax inspectors.

Tax inspectors can be quite human. It's just that they're indoctrinated by the pressure of allowances and code numbers and it's difficult for them to understand why you spend more than you earn.

Dawn says her tax inspector is awfully nice.

Dawn's tax inspector says she's awfully nice herself They have a rapport, and this is maintained in the easiest fashion as long as Dawn doesn't use her tax demands for lighting cigars.

She wouldn't dream of it.

We would.

Behind the Scenes

By PAMELA GREEN

I was very privileged to be able to take my photographer, Harrison Marks, behind the scenes and in the dressing room of the Prince of Wales theatre. The glittering show is "Paris by Night". I was allowed to visit my old dressing room from the time when I used to be a showgirl at the Folies myself, and found some old friends there and many nostalgic memories from the past.

Judy Now

Blonde and attractive JUDY RODGER - whom long time no see - is so busy as a TV model it’s a long time no see for many others besides us.

We were tickled to catch up with Judy, therefore, on a day out in the park, and managed to grab some cute pictures when she was looking and some even cuter ones when she wasn’t.

Too caught up with TV to have any spare time for modelling, Judy did us quite a favour by letting us photograph her in the park, and not only are we pleased to have met up with her again but so now, we imagine, are quite a few of her many fans.

Listen, Gorgeous

That was all the man from the gas company could say when he called on WANDA LIDDELL in her Camden Town flat. "Listen, gorgeous." Then he'd lose his voice because of breathing heavy, then he'd start again.

Wanda told him to stop larking about and to look at her cooker, and he thought, great hairpins, who wants to look at cookers anymore? He rang up his office, resigned and sent Wanda flowers. But it didn't make up for her cooker still being kaput.
