I. "COVER GIRL” IN ENGLAND: Several issues back we had an ad for a business called “Cover Girl” in London, England. While I was there I stopped in and visited her. They specialize in all manner of things of in- terest to FPs-clothing, lingerie, custom made shoes, theatrical things, etc. They have a catalog of it all which I believe costs $3 (to cover printing and postage abroad) but the $3 is applicable to the first order. The fact that they make a variety of shoes to order means that those FPs with larger or wider sizes than usually obtainable can get them to order.

Get them copied yourself first. The reason is that I often don't get the pics back from the printer for several months after the issue appears and by that time I have completely forgotten that some- body wanted something back. Even if I remember it is tedious looking thru a lot of pics trying to find one or two. I don't like to disappoint you but it is more nuisance than it is worth. Pictures can be copied by any place doing developing.

III. DILEMNA OF COSTS AND PRICES: It is no news to any of you about the increase in cost of most everything. That same problem is begin-
