for journeys just beginning

Nylon travels light: it makes itself small in crowded luggage. Nylon undies wash as easily as hands, and dry between bed and breakfast. Trust nylon lace and ribbons to need no ironing. Trust nylon pleats to keep their place. Choose nylon for the pretty things that are very near to you;  marvel at their variety of style and shade. Rely on everything nylon for unshrinking beauty and years of carefree wear.

Perfumes And Places

DRIVING in London, I discovered that the smells of petrol, melted tar and dry dust made a sort of scent which might have been called "Essence of Summer City." 

Along the by-pass, the air was clearer as it flowed, through the windows, but there was still a prevailing aroma of automobile. A compound of warm leather upholstery, faint oiliness and furniture polish held sway, for my escort's car is very well groomed. 

But when we eventually arrived in the cool green country, and drove up to the cottage where we were to be guests, the scent changed. Thick and sweet as honey, buzzing with bees, golden as butter, the lime-tree perfume hovered all around us. 

I wonder, will it be as lovely this year?

Woman to Woman

Designing male

When I was a teenager, about twenty years ago, I belonged to a youth club which was struggling to establish itself. 

The warden insisted on our doing something useful besides dancing to the gramophone and haunting the canteen, so, unwillingly, we joined a needlework class. 

A very tall young man in a brightly coloured shirt came to teach us; his large hands sewed deftly and we soon settled down to class routine. 

He taught us how to cut out and make blouses and dresses (out of our meagre pocket money), though we were by no means an easy class. We resented his accent, so much clearer than ours and were very fond of "taking the mickey."  

Thanks to him I have always been able to dress my little girl on very little money, and in hard times I have made dresses for neighbours. 

So a very big thank you to that teacher. He is Teddy Tinling, now world famous as a designer of tennis clothes.-Mrs. K. D. (London, ·E4).

  IT was Mr. Tinling who designed the 'WOMAN special offer pattern for a tennis dress which appeared in our April 7 issue. 

 Judging by the hundreds of orders which came pouring in to us for this pattern. we think that you aren't the only reader grateful to him, Mrs. K. D.

Repeat performance

My husband threw down my magazine in disgust. "Such silly rubbish," he cried.  

"What's silly about it?" I asked. 

"Those sloppy love stories," he replied loftily.

But I got my own back. I produced his old love letters and read them aloud. You should have seen his face !-Mrs. P. M. (Dublin).      

  WE feel that there has been a shocking intrusion of privacy here, but are too muddled to think whose. 

But we do think you have let yourself in for some dull letters if your husband ever has to be away for some time. 

Better to point out to him that he needn’t read love stories. He can always stick to space-ships.

Mixed fruit fritters

A last-minute idea that proved really delicious :

Mix together a breakfast cup stewed apples, a heaped tablespoon flour, half a teaspoon baking powder, and  a beaten egg. Add chopped glace cherries and walnuts, and fry a tablespoon at a time, in deep fat. 

Sprinkle with caster sugar and nutmeg.-Miss T. T. (Oxted, Surrey).

Patch work

We had a handsome Aylesbury drake who waddled proudly among the ducks until the day of his disgrace. This came when, wishing to be able to distinguish him from a younger drake, we put a tiny patch of tar on the top of his proud head. 

He quacked his dismay all round the pond. 

We thought no more about it until the next nest of eggs hatched. There, among the fluffy yellow heads was one duckling with a patch of black down on his head.  

It was old drake's revenge.- Miss J. B. (Old Newton, Suffolk).

 Our new kitten was white, with three small black patches on its back. 

My two-year-old daughter was most upset when she saw it.

"Mummy," she wept. "Poor pussy's got holes in his cardigan Mrs. B. W. (Dinnington, Yorks)

In . . . out

At the Seaside, my mother and I came upon a row of small cafes, and decided we'd like a cup of tea.

We were about to enter one shop, when the sight of an apparition in a dirty black suit and grubby apron made us draw back. 

My mother grasped my arm and marched me into the cafe next door. To our horror, the very same man glided through a connecting door and stood waiting to serve us. 

Apparently the two places were under the same management.- Mrs. C. M. (Houghton, Huntingdon). 

  BUT you haven't told us what you did, Mrs. C. Moo.!. . .  suddenly found you had no money. . . spotted a ship you just had to catch . . . or swallowed your pride and the tea?

Stormy outlook

When my sister was married, the floods were at their height and all the women guests had to be carried into the local hall for the reception. 

My younger sister was married exactly twelve months afterwards, and on that day the sun shone beautifully, so all the men guests joked that they were being, denied the chance of repeating their Sir Galahad act. 

How wrong they were! We arrived at the reception to find the water main had burst; again the men had to discard shoes and socks to carry the ladies through. 

There is another family wedding soon. Do you think we shoud mark the invitations: " Morning dress optional, waders essential?" -Mrs:- F. H. (Surbiton, Surrey).  

  WE think it would be safer if all guests were invited to attend in bathing costumes, wearing frog flippers and carrying deep sea diving equipment. 

Timesaver (6)

Keep all the china you use every day arranged in separate piles, the highest at the back (this is important). No pile should be on top of another. 

Taking them out is then a quick job; putting them away as easy as dealing out a pack of cards.  

Items used. only occasionally should be stored in a separate place.- Mrs. J. N. (Billingshurst, Sussex).

Tense time

I inquired about an acquaintance who had suffered a nervous break-down, and was given this report on her health: "Oh, she's getting on quite well, except that she lives in the past, can’t remember a thing about the future."-Mrs. E. P. (Hertford)  

  WE must have broken down ages and ages ago! 

What's he going to be?

My son, aged eight, has always had an inquiring mind, and simply has to know the ins and outs of everything going on. 

One day, when he was about six: he was missing "for Some hours. 

He had decided to visit the local police station, so he just walked in and asked if he could be shown everything. And he was, even the Black Maria. 

The fire station knows him as a regular visitor. 

But his latest exploit beats all. He came home, dirty and cold, and announced that he'd been helping the road-sweeper, his work having been rewarded with a cup of tea by the brazier in the man's hut. 

We are wondering what he will be up to next. But we give heartfelt thanks that he is able to be so adventurous. You see, when a baby, he nearly died from polio,- Mrs, A. S. (Catford, London, S.E.6).  

  LET us hope your son goes on inquiring, Mrs. A. S. No danger of his becoming a " dead end kid" we think. Will he be a journalist, detective, archaeologist, or Arctic explorer, we wonder? All these things, perhaps. 

Regal finger-plates

I wanted some new finger-plates for my doors, but didn't like the plain, clear plastic ones. 

So I looked out the embroidery flower transfers commemorating the Queen's Commonwealth tour, obtained from WOMAN in 1954, and worked the designs on strips of linen: 

These were then mounted on white card and set behind the plastic finger-plates. 

My elegant doors have been very much admired by all my friends.- Mrs. M. K. (Spondon, Derbyshire).

Penny fancy

I keep a small sweet shop just near the local school so, of course, the children are always dropping in with their coppers to spend. 

I have now equipped myself with a Penny Box in which I put a few items which cost about a penny. When small customers appear, I just hand over the box and leave them to make their own selection. 

You would be surprised how long it takes to decide this vital matter, but at least I save time, and patience.- MrS. F. I. (York).  

  WE'RE delighted to know that there's still somewhere where penny purchases are going strong; we were afraid that everything was affected by the rising cost of living,

And what delightful memories your letter brings back, Mrs. F, I., of liquorice sticks and gobstoppers, and the gelatine lozenges an elderly relative used to keep in the dressing-table drawer along with' her scented handkerchiefs. 

If ever we visit York we'll be calling in to see that Penny Box of yours.

Walking, talking shop 

A door-to-door salesman called with shoe laces, cottons, etc. 

My four-year-old daughter answered his knock, and called out excitedly: "Mummy, come and look, there's a shop at the door!" - Mrs. T. R. (Long Ashton, Som). 

Suspended beauty

I have just been guilty of the most dreadful extravagance.

Although married several years, we have had a struggle to get our home together, and the only "furniture" our sitting-room contains is a carpet.  

I had been saving hard to buy a conventional three-piece upholstered suite, but, passing an antique shop that was having a closing-down sale, was tempted to buy a lovely little crystal chandelier. 

My visitors must wait a little longer for chairs to sit on, but they can, if they will, sit on the carpeted floor and gaze at the beauty above them. - Mrs. N. J. (Paignton, Devon).  

  WE'D love to see it, Mrs. N. J. Just a few plump cushions on the floor, comfy slippers on our feet, and tea (in a bowl, of course) and we'd be happy. You are, we presume, skilled in the art of massaging cricked necks?

FREDA BRUCE LOCKHART
JONAH BARRINGTON
Young, lovely, talented she's a star in bloom HOLLYWOOD'S most glamorous blonde since Marilyn Monroe is undoubtedly Kim Novak, who, incidentally, was christened Marilyn, too.
There's a special sort of thrill in seeing a young star just in bloom, as Kim is. I've always been impressed by her promise ever since I saw her in PHFFFT. But, in person, Kim struck me as much more special than the high-pressure glamour of early roles had suggested.
I remembered Tyrone Power, who plays her husband in The Eddy Duchin Story, telling me what a " sweet kid" Kim is. And I myself felt her to be, at twenty-three, quite the sweetest girl I've met among stars for years.
To begin with, she's far more devastatingly pretty than the screen reveals. Then, although she's just in the stage of going through all the gruelling routine of being turned into a star (remember A Star Is Born ?), she's enchantingly simple and unpretentious.
When a film talent scout started her on her career, she was just a shy young girl, daughter of Chicago-Czech parents, who'd been training as a model to acquire some poise. Now she'd arrived . at stardom, was she pleased?
"Oh yes, it's the happiest time of my life," she told me radiantly, which isn't a thing you often hear anyone, let alone a film star-say of the present.

KIM NOVAK, “my happiest time”

I suggested that perhaps such sudden success was a bit of a strain.
"Well, yes, " Kim admitted, "but it's a happy strain."
Kim's favourite picture? In some ways, it's Picnic, because she loved the character she played. She enjoyed The Eddy Duchin Story, too, because the role of the delicate socialite wife was "so unlike me." But for sheer enjoyment of film work, she most liked making The Man With The Golden Arm.
"Otto Preminger's such a wonderful director and Frank Sinatra such a lovely person to work with," she enthused. "They're both grand and straightforward; whatever they say, you know they mean it, so much nicer than the people how are sweet to your face and something quite different when you 're out of sight."
Back in Hollywood, Kim will be living on her own for the first time. Hitherto, she's stayed with other young stars at the Studio Club, but has reached the end of the term allowed there.
I asked what her parents felt about her success, and she said: "They're happy if I'm happy. But they're not ardent film-goers, Dad came to see a picture of mine once and walked out!"
If Kim's producers show her as the truly nice person she is, instead of over-doing the glamour angle, the bigger star she will be, I think. And Mr. Novak won't walk out again. * * F.B.L.

Scottish success goes south - Nicky Kidd
EVER heard of Nicky Kidd? If not, I'm sure you soon will.  In Scotland this six-feet-two, studious-looking singer (be reminds me of Benny Goodman) is a variety top-liner. Down south, though, he's still comparatively new.
It was three years ago, while hunting for unusual records for my radio programme, that I first noticed him on a lovely disc, "The Skye Boat Song."
I remember marvelling that anyone with a voice so sincere and easy on the ear should remain unrecognized. Then I forgot all about him, until his recording of "Too Young To Go Steady" and "Wild Cherry" (Beltona BL2645) arrived for review.
They made me sit up. For this singer really has something: the ease of Crosby, the intimacy of Sinatra and no irritating mannerisms. So I decided to go Kidd hunting, no easy task, as record impresario Dick Rowe knows.
"We wanted to sign him up two years ago, but we could never find him, " says Dick. "He lived in caravan and was always moving on. It took me months to catch up with him."
My search was shorter. One evening Nicky strode into my Sussex inn on his way to do a variety season at  Eastbourne.
"I'm trying desperately to make a success south of the border," he told me. "Do you think I've a chance?"
Not a chance, I'd say, but a certainty, For audiences these days are getting weary of singers who overload themselves with tricks and gimmicks. Nicky Kidd's voice is a soothing and satisfying change. .
For The Record
WORTHY successor to his "ChainGang" is Jimmy Young’s exciting "Wayward Wind" (Decca F10736). another winner' with a superb back ground from Bob-Sharples.
For novel effects and smooth style, the music of George Cates and orchestra is hard to beat. I like "Rio Batucada" (Vogue Q72162).
"No More Than Forever" (London HLB 8282), sung by intense Gogi Grant, will bring the house down. * * J .B.

Surprise Gift For The Queen

Ginger Is A Tennis Star, Too

WOMAN Reader's Bridal Coach And Pair

--------------

THE staff at Badminton, where the Queen stayed to watch the horse trials, have given her a lovely surprise present.

It's a coffee set: twelve cups and saucers in white Spode china, decorated with hunting scenes in a delicate shade of duck egg blue.

The Queen is delighted with the gift. It's sure to join her favourite tableware, which is brought out for certain visitors.

The Queen Remembers

For if she finds a guest is genuinely fond of any of her exquisite china, she goes to the trouble of seeing that the same set is on the table at any subsequent visit.

The Swedish Ambassador recently dined off a Blue Minden service that first belonged to Queen Victoria.

It had been specially brought out for him because the Queen remembered how much the Ambassador had admired it once before. 

------------------

Guests Last

Taking of dinner parties, we hear it's an American custom for waiters to serve the hostess first.

Idea is that guests don't feel awkward when urged to start eating as soon as the food arrives if their hostess is already tucking in. We’d feel jealous!

Spaghetti Race

But everybody will start eating at once in a contest planned for July 10 as part of London's Soho Fair fun.

Cafe owner Claude Barnett has invited competitors to race through one and a half pounds of spaghetti apiece.

Winner gains ten pounds in cash and about the same in weight, we'd guess, if there's too much practising beforehand.  

-----------------------------------

This month film star Ginger Rogers has a birthday. But it's hard to guess which one

Youthful Ginger

Someone who never seems to put on weight or years is popular film star Ginger Rogers.

Look at the recent picture above; would you ever guess she’s forty-five this month?

Ginger says: "I stay young because I don't worry about it."

Tennis helps, too. She's one of the best players in Hollywood partners several Wimbledon stars and once beat "Gorgeous" Gussie Moran, we hear.

Shorts On Court

Ginger's bare midriff outfit is a practical fashion for practice play.

And why don't more women copy her well-cut shorts?

After studying tournament form this season, we've decided that brief frilly skirts suit doll-like girls perfectly, but not their sturdier sisters. 

-------------------------------

Embroidery Enthusiasts

Less strenuous a hobby than tennis (though it does depend how hard you play!) is embroidery.

" More and more women are finding relaxation and satisfaction in making beautiful things for them selves and their homes." That's what Mrs. H. M. Knight told us.

In fact, the needlework school she runs under the county" council's auspices at Hampton, Middlesex, has over six hundred students, from seven to seventy-six years old.

Keep It Clean

 Each student attends one morning, afternoon or evening class a week. And a recent exhibition showed the skilled results.  

A grosgrain waistcoat, its fronts embroidered with flowers nearly as gay as those on pages 32 and 33, caught our eyes.  

It looked a labour of love for some lucky man. But, we imagine, heaven help him if he ever spills soup on it !

Wedding In Holland

Not long ago, a Woman To Woman letter mentioned the charm of Dutch weddings.

Now reader Mrs. Rowell, a Dutch girl married to an Englishman, has sent her picture below to prove it.

No be-ribboned bridal car for WOMAN reader Mrs. Rowen and her husband. Married in Holland, they drove to the church in a coach and pair  

Bridal party and guests ride in coaches drawn by plumed horses.

Private Meeting

"Another nice custom," thinks Mrs. Rowell, "is that the bridal coach collects the groom, then takes him to fetch his bride. So they meet in private."

And the bouquet is delivered to the bridegroom's address. He gives it to his bride as they drive to the ceremony together.

One She Forgot

Absorbed in other people's anniversaries for the fascinating new WOMAN series starting on page 13, staff writer Dorothy Ford had an awful shock.

"Darling," said her husband one breakfast-time, "I'll tell you now or you'll only be upset, it's my birthday."

“Here's how we replace lost energy” says Tony Lock famous Test cricketer, drinking Lucozade with his son Graeme

Nothing like Lucozadeto give you more energy !
Tony Lock and his family use up a lot of energy. That's why they need the glucose in Lucozade, one of the finest sources of energy. Lucozade is most refreshing. Only Lucozade relieves tiredness so pleasantly; it relaxes tension, revives flagging spirits, gives you an appetite.  And, on top of this, Lucozade can give you a new sustaining reserve of energy. Doctors and nurses use Lucozade. The weakest patients can keep Lucozade down and so benefit by its strength-giving glucose. Keep plenty of Lucozade handy for your family.
