Gracie Allen Reporting

HOLLYWOOD – Girls, did you hear what I heard? They say that by January we’ll be able to buy nylons again and I can think of no better way to start the new year off on the right foot, or the left one either. It’s been so long since nice looking legs were legal. Wen’s legs are like bridge prizes. They should be both useful and ornamental, but seldom are.
With nylons coming in, now I can use my last bottle of leg makeup to finish panting the lawn furniture. Leg makeup – I’ve seen women who looked as if one leg had stayed home while the other one went to the beach for a sun-tan.
I’m sure the men will like the idea of nylon being used for stockings instead of parachutes. Not once during the war did I see one of them straining their necks to look at a parachute.
