Hopeful

Young and hopeful is PAULINE GORVIN.

She likes dressmaking and dancing, but her hope in life is to become a model. Ah, beauty in all its pristine bloom, ah, life in all its mesmerising enchantment, what glamour there is in the hope of one so favoured. "Really," said Pauline, blushing a bit, "there's no need to go on like that."

What, shall the practicalities of life's cut and thrust reduce us to unromantic grunts? May we not be poetical and lyrical about thy liquid brown eyes and thy lilting loveliness?

"Oh, all right, then,' said Pauline, "only don't make me giggle too much or my coat might slip.'

French Lesson

All right, you at the back there in driving goggles, what's the French for ambivalence? Don't know, do you? Thought you didn't. Got your nose immersed in some lurid pin-up magazine, I suppose? Don't care about French lessons, do you? Don't like my teaching methods, I suppose?

Don't like my face, probably. Rather have your French taught by some oo-la-la bird from Paris in a mini-skirt, of course. A lot of good that would do you.

Well, teacher had no sooner delivered himself of that irate piece than into the classroom walked the most fascinating oo-la-la shape from Paris, whose name was FRANCOISE PROUZEAU and whose smile sent the class reeling and knocked teacher cold.

Francoise was only on a very short visit to England, but my word (said teacher afterwards) she was the one person who could make that idle, incompetent class of mine sit up and listen. It didn't do them any good, though, I said it wouldn't. Now she's gone they just slump about and chew peanuts. By the way, headmaster, I'm getting a transfer to a college in Paris. Francoise is a student there. Here's my notice.

Send Us A Snap

Keen on photography is ELIZABETH GALLACHER, and when it comes to putting herself on celluloid it’s just what the doctor ordered — as far as we’re concerned. “What d’you think?” asked Liz modestly. “Send us a snap."

Angeline Dunmore

Sultry Look

Giving us the full benefit of that sultry look is ANGELINE DUNMORE. To look at Angeline you'd probably think she's the kind of sophisticated beauty who lounges around all day merely looking glamorous for the camera.

We exclude the smart guys who live by the maxim that nothing's so deceptive as looks.

In actual fact, Angeline's a busy housewife and mother, and prefers the kitchen to the studio.

It so happens that both Angeline and her hubby like to eat.

Thirsty consumers of highballs sometimes consider eating a mere chore between drinks, but not Angeline.

Cooking itself may be a chore, but not the end product. What could be more appetising than ravioli served a la oomph by a housewife more appealing than the dish itself?

Nothing But The Best For Sue

If you're crazy about soccer you know all about the wizard winger of Manchester United GEORGE BEST.

George is a wise young man. He's with it not only on the football field but off it. He's invested some of his big soccer earnings in a boutique at Sale, not far from the club. And when he's not playing or training, he's working in his boutique. He likes to give his personal attention to his young clients who are looking for the trendy gear they love.

It was a case of mutual admiration when 19-year-old London actress SUE WHITMAN called in for an op-art outfit, for Sue is a keen soccer fan and George is a keen follower of all that keeps girls like Sue looking fabulous.

So, they got together among the skirts and dresses and tops and hats until Sue found what she wanted, and George found that what she wanted was exactly what kept her looking fabulous.

Black For Preference

City secretary PATRICIA GARLAND, like many other secretaries, dresses with the elegance typical of the clan, and underneath the outer elegance the foundation is black for preference.

Smart and sophisticated—that's Pat But she's also a bubbler. What’s a bubbler? Well in this case it’s a girl who bubbles over with vitality and merriment. Having met her a couple of times, our opinion, in fact, is that she laughs her way through life.
