"I've graduated to size twelve, terrific after having worn size sixteen for years, don't you think? Fran really laced into me for the kinds of things I wore and I'll admit now that they were pretty shapeless bags. Shorts and slacks I should never have worn but I did and was kidded unmercifully, so when I got into those slim velveteen pants (they're emerald green and that smash sash is royal purple rayon satin — whew!), I knew I had it made. And when I think of me in a ruffly shirt (this one is Dacron and washes like a breeze) I feel for the first time like an honest-to-goodness girl. This is the way I now like to look after work, especially when I'm entertaining at home ... I seem to be doing so much of that these days — the new me, you know.

It's a perfect holiday dress, just dressy enough. Fran said we were celebrating the debut of my waistline which is a mere twenty-five inches. I had been dying for something in fur, so
the white bunny muff was a lot of fun for very little money. My date is Bob Grosz, a young executive on Madison Avenue and we see each other a lot. We were having a dreamy time ... I could have danced all night and almost did! (Note: I broke my diet just a little but the food was so good. Back on Metrecal next day.) "I'm absolutely thrilled to death with me now ! And I want to thank Fran Hodges, my Fairy Godmother, for what she helped me do with myself. I don't think I could have lost those twenty pounds without her encouragement but I know now that I can finish the job of losing another five. Besides, I love my new hair and so do all my friends and I've had hundreds of compliments on my new clothes which really become me. (Oh ! How I ever went around that old way!) But what still puzzles me is how she really changed the looks of my face . . . my eyes are wider apart, I could almost swear !
"I can laugh about it now but I was dying when that first haircut picture was taken ! I was frightened to death when Bernard took that first slash. But Fran was so right in insist ( continued on next page)
