A Book, A Bird and a Cosy Glow

By the fireside a winter's evening can be a lovely cosy glow. Scots’ girl MARGARET CARMICHAEL was all cosy glow as she relaxed on the rug with a good book. If there was only room for one more Harry McGurgle would be there with her, he's mad about good books and even madder about delicious birds and a cosy glow.

Margaret is a secretary, looks lovely taking dictation and entrancing tapping her typewriter. She measures 36-23-35. That may be nothing to do with typing, but it does indicate why she looks so good at it.

Fashion War Communique

Communique No. 47A issued from Modern Gear G.H.Q to Hotpants Division read:

"Instruct Elsie Golightly to advance on Leicester and Nottingham, enemy bombardment of maxi skirts and velvet knickers blanketing both towns and smothering inhabitants. Liberate them."

It was signed by General A. Geary.

Reply from the Hotpants Division was as follows.

"Elsie Golightly gone over to the enemy and velvet knickers. Suggest we send JANET DE BOLLET instead. Janet will slay them. Photographs enclosed as proof." To which Modern Gear G.H.Q replied with communique No. 47B.

"Instruct Janet de Bollet to report here immediately. Where have you been hiding her? Champagne will be uncorked at 19.30, candlelight will commence at 19.45." It was signed Bert.

Tina

Typical of the verve and ebullience of today's dolly birds is the gay approach to life of TINA REYNOLDS.

Brown-haired and green-eyed, Tina measures 36-24-35, and her main interests are of the sporting kind. She's a willowy participant in squash, badminton and table tennis.

She also likes flying and hopes one day to do her solo stint.

Except that she's just become engaged and her fiancé doesn't think much of any flying stint which is so solo that he's left on the ground.

Don't Ring Off

The phone rang and MARIA LYNLEY answered it.

"Hello," she said, "who's that?"

"It's me," said Harry.

"Who's you?" said Maria.

"Harry," said Harry.

"Is it about the telly?" said Maria.

“I haven't got one," said Harry, "I keep chickens. Can you come out tonight?"

“I'll ask my husband," said Maria, a lovely young Leicester housewife.

"Oh sock me," said Harry, "isn't that Ethel?"

"No, it isn't," said Maria, "it's me."

"Who's you?" said Harry.

"Maria," said Maria, "goodbye, Harry."

"No, don't ring off," said Harry, "you don't half sound cracking."

"Saucebox," giggled Maria and put the phone down.

Ah,Well

Some men make do with a sandwich and a fishing line and undisturbed solitude by the river.

Some men aren't happy unless the environment is full of beautiful girls, and they get almost ecstatic if any of them are as bewitching as Secretary DAWN DE VERE.

Ah, well it takes all kinds to make the world what it is.
