Elizabeth is all ready for the winter, relaxing in her Directoire Knickers (DK’s). Another great picture courtesy of Tocofan to keep all you DK fans happy as we approach that big, silky soft knicker time of year.

You have got to love a buttoned-up skirt, especially when worn by Marie Graham. Scan from an original print.
"Ah," said Mr. Pyper, putting his head into the ladies' gown shop in Malvern, Worcs, "who's young and beautiful, then, eh?"
"Oh, you are awful," said the lovely 18-year-old salesgirl. She was ESTELLE WARNER and she was just trying to get a small-size sweater on an outside dummy. And Mr. Pyper, whose other name was Joseph, was the young man who worked in the fishing-gear shop close by. He liked to pop in occasionally—about ten times a day— to ensure he wasn't missing anything. He was dead keen on Estelle, and so are quite a few other fellers, as you can imagine. But she's in the middle of being absolutely dedicated to her job, and all she could offer Mr. Pyper was some advice to either go away or get poked in the eye with a dress hanger.
"I'll risk a poke in the eye," said Mr. Pyper, "it's worth it to see you reaching for red ribbon on the top shelf."
"Right, cheeky-chops," said Estelle and Mr. Pyper slipped out just in time to miss being injured. Estelle can't half lash out when she needs to.

Two wonderfully leggy shots of the always-popular Jane Paul. I am not sure if these two were ever published, but the scene is certainly a familiar one. Jane is very nearly breaking into a smile with her duster. More to come over the next few weeks.
Dolly birds come in all colours and some wear feathers too. SANDRA SONNING lights up as a vivacious redhead, and with or without feathers comes under the category of what someone's grandfather calls a "corking eyeful of Chelsea architecture M to Z." Sandra is nineteen, works full-time as a secretary and part-time as a model.

We did give you some shots of MARGARET WADE in our January issue, and berserk readers kept ringing up to ask for more. Well, we found some additional shots of Margaret-indoor pics this time-and here they are. Only this time don't sound so hysterical on the phone.
Just to remind you, Margaret is a receptionist and a lover of the countryside, and if you ever see a horse looking particularly handsome because of its rider, and the location is Sussex, then it could be Margaret out for a gallop over the Downs.

Is what better?
The telly, silly. Is the picture better?
The young man said that as far as he was concerned the television was entirely non-existent, since he had never believed that any inanimate man-made object, no matter how many dials and wires it had, could be regarded as real when compared with that which was a gift of nature.
SARA STUART, Ayrshire girl, thought he was trying to give a lecture on social welfare. Beautiful but by no means vain, Sara had no idea just how much better she looked than the television set.
The young man, quite earnestly absorbed in his subject, went on about tramcars and monuments, lucidly dissecting the argument that these things can be looked at with sympathy and admiration, and emphasising his own argument about things that really mattered.
At the end of it all Sara, a secretary with a liking for classical music, said she supposed that what he meant was that he wasn't bothered about the television programme.
"Oh good," said the young man, "you've caught on. How about coming out to dinner with me?'
"I was beginning to think,' said Sara,' that you'd never ask.'

Life is full of intriguing little surprises.
When we found SAMANTHA BROWN she herself was a delicious surprise, because we were actually looking for a surplus beer barrel in a coopers' yard. We wanted to go over Niagara Falls in it and get our name in the North American papers. Anyway, we couldn't find one comfortable enough, so we gave up and bumped into this delicious surprise, who turned out to be a lovely Hampshire girl.
Samantha provided the intriguing little surprise because we found out that as a pin-up girl, with a particular flair for modelling lingerie, she is also a part-time underwear representative. Yes indeed, what could be more appropriate than that?
Samantha is twenty-five, and a happy housewife with what her husband calls a divine talent for gardening.

Yes, anytime our popular RUTH CAVENDISH can make it down South from her Glasgow home, we'd be absolutely tickled.
Naturally, we'd return the compliment.
"No, don't," said Ruth, "I go mad when I'm tickled and then all terribly weak."
"Honestly?"
"Well, when I was a lovely schoolgirl," said Ruth, "that Bryan McGregor and that lan McCuddle - honestly."
"Honestly? What happened?"
"I had to bash them unconscious with my school satchel," said Ruth.
"Well, you can still come up and see us anytime, but leave your satchel behind."

A new and extremely charming pin-up girl we have just discovered is GRETA BERRY.
Here are just a couple of pics of Greta as a kind of introductory tableau that will put you in the mood for more, unless you've gore off beauty and taken up wallpapering.
If you've got more sense than to do anything as stupid as exchanging true joy for sticky wallpaper, then look out in future issues for features on Greta, and we guarantee you'll love her.

Are you lean, muscular and incontrovertibly masculine? If you are, and you're also a six-foot-tall type, then brother, you're it with CECELIA RODRIGUES.
The fact is, Cecelia loves good food, gay night life and handsome men. In what order? That, said Cecelia, can change from day to day.
Cecelia is a 22-year-old London girl now resident in Brighton, where she works as a receptionist. She meets the most maddeningly handsome men every day. Maddening is right, said Cecelia, they've all got beautiful women with them.

Maureen giving us all an eyeful and a flash of her very sexy black stockings, all done with that naughty smile.
Let's start the month off on a high with a delightful picture of Valetta relaxing at home.
Among the home comforts that most men look for is an armchair that will take a tired body and a glass of toddy after a hard day's work, and a devoted wife who knows how to get the best out of a hot oven. The home comfort we'd go dotty about is JULIE BLISS, brown-eyed silver blonde who's not only lovely to look at in a drawing-room but also singularly adept at amateur dramatics.

Lots of men leave home. They usually leave immediately after breakfast, but if they don't get back in time for evening dinner, they're in dead trouble.
There was an awfully nice bloke called Henry who was never going to leave home. He was looked after by an iron-jawed housekeeper who wanted to keep him for herself.
Then Henry saw the loveliest dolly passing by. She was so fabulously dishy that Henry knew he'd never feel the same about his train set. He locked the iron-jawed housekeeper in the pantry and left home.
He caught up with the superb dolly bird. She was LISA SHANNON, one of the swingers who make London look ravishing, and after raising his hat Henry said he was mad about her and would she like to go off to Greece with him.
Lisa handed him over to a policeman. Henry explained, the policeman understood and told Henry to stand in the rain for an hour. Henry did and went back home all wet.
In case Henry is looking in and is vastly interested, Lisa's lovely figure measures 39-24-37. Much better than a train set.
