WE think she is. If we cannot truthfuly toss a girl a couple OF
choice adjechves, W mentioned her name and stop. Another OF our
dyed in the wool ideas is that pretty Is AS Pretty Does, so you IRE
apt to read of all sorts of bouquets being handed to the sweet young
things, who r not such ravng beauties, but who are known to get
along well with both sexes of their own age, whose manners as
above approach, and who always manage to take time out or a lev
gracious words to older people. While the Baby Doll type OF glamor
girl-beautiful but dumb-wil barely receive any recognition at all
from this column. The last critic W have time for, wanted to know
why the column. was published under a n anonymous name, The
te nswers that question plainly, "Slightly Off The Record" i'm
plies a confidential secret. So after giving it such a n alluring caption,
why start off with divulging the names Of the contributors to the
letter, when the unknown, lending an air. OF mystery Or enchantmenI
is far more intriguing than the known: It is extremely re- e nlni amusing .idsr ss
