Sue Whitman

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.

Patricia Garland (Susan Douglas)

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.

Jan Newman

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.

Louise Grayson

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.

Pamela Johnston

Westward Bound

Off to North America to become a secretary to a tycoon is PAMELA JOHNSTON of Glasgow.

Lucky old tycoon.

Dawn Grayson

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.
