VI. COVER GIRLS: This is an awkward problem, and sometimes I wish I'd never started it, but I thought you'd like it better that way. I'm cornered between asking for girls to submit pics and story for use...and I ask again right now...and the embarrassing necessity of having to turn down some whom I didn't think quite right for the cover. I've tried to explain my feelings to these few in personal letters and can only hope they understand, but I still have to ask for more if we are going to continue to grace our cover with lovely creatures.

VII. PERFUME: (This is not really an Editorial subject, but the Service Dept. (my other hat) wanted me to put it in) We all like nice perfume, but what with advertizing costs, ballyhoo, etc. that on the market is terribly expensive. It so happens that I have acc- ess to duplications of well known brands and to original fragrances at what might be termed practical prices. If you take advertising, fancy bottles, and several profit margins away, it is possible to provide some very fine fragrances very reasonably. I am considering doing just this for you girls. I haven't progressed as far as prices yet, but I'd like an expression from you as to whether you'd be in- terested to have me proceed with this. A oz. bottle of full (20% oil) perfume, not cologne, could probably be sold at $4-5 compared to $10-25 for "name" products in fancy bottles. These would be sold in very plain containers and you could buy fancy perfume bottles for your own dressing tables. Lets have some reaction if you are inter-

ested?

VIII. NEW DEPARTMENT: Some of you who have never had the oppor- tunity to talk to an FN (Femme Naturelle as distinct from Femme Personator) will be pleased to know that Bob's new wife JOYCE has expressed her willingness and interest in being a confidant for those of you who wish to write. She will try to help you on mat- ters pertaining to wives, girlfriends, etc. Answers will appear from time to time in TVia and in the Mirror where questions are of general interest and by letter for more personal matters. She's a great gal and although she is already taken by Bob (of course, I'm next in line) she's willing to share her big heart and personality with you all in this way. We haven't settled on a name for her department yet, but we will.
