TEEN QUEEN OF PHILADELPHIA!
Sixteen-year-old Ruth Hampton of Merchantville, N. J. (right near Philadelphia, Pa.), was crowned winner of the Calling All Girls Cover-Girl Contest conducted by Gimbels, Official Headquarters in Philadelphia by model expert Harry Conover and fashion editor Nancy Pepper. Ruth's five feet three inches tall, weighs 102 pounds, and is a sophomore at Merchantville High. Pretty as a picture (and our cover shows you how pretty a picture can be). Her quiet manner hides a grim determination to be a top-flight Conover model. In music she prefers oldies like "Alice Blue Gown." Her screen dreams are Guy Madison and Jeanne Crain.

On the cover Ruth shows you how to transform your Universiteen graduation frock of Reltex rayon with gold accessories. The dress, about $11 at E. W. Edwards & Son, Buffalo and Rochester, N.Y., and most stores on this page. Gold and white sandals by Sandler, heart buttons by La Mode, pearls by Marvella. Ruth is wearing Peggy Sage's new Shimmer lipstick in Heartbreak Pink. Front-cover kodachrome by William Ward.
