G.l. patients at the hospital held a fashion show to display their creations. Glamour--5 Sizes Women are more alike than you think! In fact, there are only five varieties the world over--from the figure point of view--and the most. beautiful of all is the rarest. The authority for this disturbing news _i8 a young Australian woman who has recently completed a world- wide survey of the feminine form. She reached the conclusion--after Tr ne measuring some 1,000 women of all nations--that the Continental type of figure, with a well- developed bust, a tiny MWaist and long slim legs is now most unusual. In Britain she found that the plump type she calls the "Dutchess" predominated!" . But there is precious little dif- ference between the charms of the "average girl" in Rome, Paris, Lon-. don, Oslo or New York, and the generally accepted perfect figure has a 24-inch waist, 36-inch bust and 36-inch "hips, irrespective of ? "height and weight. The problem of the show business executives these days is to find beauties with those measurements who are also tall. . Out of 100 girls recently inter- viewed by Leroy Prinz, when he was casting a musical number for "I'll See You in My Dreams," in Hollywood, only eight measured up to his specifications. Most of the rest fell two or three inches short of his demand for 5 feet 8 inch minimum height. Odd Gifts Hollywood correspondent reports that among unusual gifts received by film star and World War 1I hero Audie Murphy when he mar- vied the other day were shoe-laces 'monogrammed in gold and a statue "of himself in soap! The American splptor who gave him the soap tatite advised: "Keep it in a cool + place and never leave it out in the rain!"

(There was also the fact that this column corrected predicted the win- ners of the National and American Leagues and of the Stanley Cup, and 'immediately went out of the Quit when you're ahead is our motto.) * * * So, for no good reason, here are a few of the things which came take a quick swivel at them, you'll probably be surprised at how many of them you have forgotten already. * + 0» JANUARY: Joe Louis, trying for a comeback, beat Freddie Be- shore.
