Caroline Spencer

Housewife and Secretary

The epitome of feminine perfection today must be that which is brought about by a girl who is a loving housewife, an efficient secretary and absolutely smashing.

Absolutely smashing is CAROLINE SPENCER.

Housewife and secretary, Caroline can even make male hippies quiver at the knees. Male hippies don't normally react to anything or anybody unless it or they look like something that just got pushed over a cliff. We’re not anti-hippy. Don't think that. It's just that when they grow up, they won't have any tender memories, only ones like "When I was young, I lived in bus shelters and got lousy.”

Caroline is our bet for the housewife we'd most like to make a souffle with.

Many a Mrs. like Caroline makes life lovely in the kitchen.

Ruth Cavendish and Anne Scott

Can You See Ferdinand

Up in this part of the Scottish Highlands there's a farm that wanders over countless acres, and if you're anywhere near watch out for Ferdinand.

RUTH CAVENDISH in the ankle boots and ANNE SCOTT in the high boots were near enough on this occasion to feel just a mite nervous. So much so that they hitched up their skirts to be all ready to vamoose if Ferdinand did appear.

And sure, enough a pair of inimical horns hove into view eventually and our two lovelies did not stand upon their going but went.

'"Hold on,' panted Ruth after a mile or so, "that's not Ferdinand, that's

Bessie."

"Oh, how sweet," said Anne.

Bessie, of course, is Ferdinand's lovable mate.

Peggy O'Neill

Sure, Is It Meself Now?

It sure is. From the shores of the Emerald Isle itself comes Miss PEGGY O'NEILL to charm the vertebrae off the backs of every black-hearted Englishman, so she will. She's taken up residence in Chelsea to add to the shamrock motif around there and to show 'em what she can breed in the ways of dogs. But she's really up in the air when she's exercising her favourite sport flying.

Bombs away. Look out, Sir George, that's one of theirs.

Jennifer Goodman

Welsh Charm

Soft-eyed, lilting-voiced and dark-haired are many Welsh girls, and appealing in her own natural charm is JENNIFER GOODMAN of Swansea. Welsh readers who frequently ask for more features on their own girls should find Jennifer just the right answer. If they don't, they're too hard to please.

Jennifer is a wages clerk, and a darned delightful one at that. whose hobbies are dressmaking, designing, music, modelling and men. Don't ask us in what order just make your own guess.

Jennifer's vitalistics amount to 35"23"36", which means the structure is nicely streamlined and the curves just right. Out and about she is glamorous and eye-catching and she's not far short of this indoors, either!

Barbara Bonge - Gisela Schumann - Verena May

Three Girl Mix

These three shots are all of lovely VERENA MAY, a starlet featured in German films, and who has a dark beauty not usually associated with fair Teutons. The hairstyle can change the look but not the girl.

Windswept on a swing is GISELA SCHUMANN, and snug in a chair is BARBARA BONGE.

Brandy Scott

Brandy For Hair?

If you think this is all about how to stop your hair falling out by giving it brandy, you must be going bald or something.

We are actually referring to BRANDY SCOTT, a most intriguingly named dolly from the southwest.

It's Brandy's ambition, as a talented amateur dramatics performer and a dancer who naturally delights the eye, to appear in the musical HAIR. Girls of extremely noteworthy talent have appeared in this fabulously modern musical, and Brandy would make one more never-to-be-forgotten member of the cast.

Elizabeth Gallacher

Kilroy Went Before

It's often like that. It was like it when ELIZABETH GALLACHER went out to look for some springtime primroses.

But that feller Kilroy and all his fellow travellers had been there before Liz and there wasn't a primrose in sight. They'd all been nicked.

It didn't actually make life inconsolably desolate for Liz, but it did put her right off Kilroy.

Kilroy, you remember if you're old enough was the legendary character who became famous during the Second World War. Whenever a pub sold out of beer, or you turned up for a date and found your girlfriend had gone off with someone else, it was a case of "Kilroy was here hard luck, mate."

You probably know all that. You probably want to know about Liz, not the unspeakable Kilroy.

Well, Liz is a Scottish girl and a real dream of a girl.

Absolutely lovely legs and beautiful eyes

Diana Welsher

Moon Goddess

Moon Goddess…

Would you know a pure goddess of the moon if you saw one?

You wouldn't? Then we suggest you look more closely at the photograph, which, incidentally, is of a lovely girl named Diana Welsher. Our infallible Dictionary of Girl's Names assures us that the name Diana means pure goddess of the moon. This rather seems to prove something, if only that Dictionaries of Girls' Names are a lot of rubbish.

Did Diana think she matched up to the title of "Pure Goddess of the Moon?"

'Depends on what you mean by pure,' she said, giving us a shrewd look. "I mean, I like pure things. Like pure whisky, for instance never any water with it.' But what about the "Goddess of the Moon" bit?

"Maybe that fits, too," she said. "I'm out late most nights with friends .. maybe I see more of the moon than the sun."

Diana has a good life. Parties every night and nothing to do but relax during the day ... Seems her father owns seventeen gold mines, and her mother has just inherited two and a half million pounds from an uncle who had twenty-three oil wells. On top of this, Diana won £25,000 last week on her premium bond. But, she says, she's not going to let the £25,000 change her life. She'll put it away in the bank and carry on exactly as before lazing in the sun, sipping iced Pimm’s, perhaps a taste of caviar for elevens, provided she's awake by then, of course. A glass or two of champagne when she feels in need of mild refreshment.

At this point we had to leave, as her father had just come home with a present for her.

"Oh, not another steam yacht, daddy," we heard her protest.

Well, being a Pure Goddess of the Moon can be rather a strain sometimes.

Anne Duke

A Picture Of Health

Beauty queen ANNE DUKE is what we call a picture of health.

It helps, of course, to have a figure of 37-24-36, since in the eye of the beholder this gives any girl a good start in the health stakes.

Anne was born in Wales and now lives in Berkshire, where she is able to indulge one of her passions car driving amid miles and miles of quiet countryside.

Driving her Mini is something Anne adores; she just loves to be behind the wheel.

How about boyfriends, then?

Boyfriends (said Anne) are marvellous, because you can always ring them up and have them change a wheel or unclog a carburettor or something. Boyfriends mustn't only be good-natured and dishy; they must also be practical as well.

At twenty-one, Anne is no slowcoach when it comes to assessing the masculine qualities that appeal most to her.
