JACQUELINE KENNEDY : Too early to talk about the White House...
W
HAT is this: A beauty contest? Almost all the Presidential hope- fuls are rich, handsome, young, and have lovely wives.
As Eisenhower serves out his last term the cager young men at the White House door are nearly all charmers with wives like film stars.
Head of the queue is 40-year-old Senator John Kennedy, the Democrat, of Massachusetts, son of Joseph B. Kennedy, wartime Ambassador to the Court of St James.
Jack Kennerly is endowed with the good things of life. He is very personable, with the rumpled hair-do, the boyish smile, the under- graduate clothes and striped college tie. Million dollars
for his birthday
HE was given a million dollars when he was 21 by his father, another million at 26, and he hus invested shrewdly.
He is an eloquent speaker, a gifted writer- his book Profiles in Courage is a best-seller-an excellent Senator, aml has become front runner, in the Presidential sweepstake.
But his biggest asset is not his brains, money, or personal magnetism-it is his wife.
Look nt her. Exotic, serene, slender, vivacious she is the perfect mate for an ambitious young politician.

SUPER TRIM
RONSON
Give him this very latest of Electric Shavers and he'll bless you for a lifetime of perfect grooming. Made of tough, finely-tempered steel. the new Ron's micro-thin foil is thinner than this sheet of paper-so that the powerful steel cutters get really close to the skin to give him the closest shave of all. And because the Ronson foil is as flexible as the skin, it moulds itself to his face and gives a wonderfully smooth, even shave. The built-in Super Trim will deal smartly with all his long hair trimming moustaches, sideboards, and neck baire. No other electric shaver does Bo much with such complete efficiency. The Ronson works on A.Č. 100-125 volu, 200-240 volts. It is perfectly Insulated nad will not cause radio or T.V. interference.
