 Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay and palm olive shave creams For a smoother more comfortable way to shave bring you our miss Brooks starring Eve Arden Time once again for another comedy episode of our miss Brooks under the direction of Al Lewis Well her salary as a teacher covers all her basic expenses But our miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School has discovered that there are certain luxuries It won't pay for luxuries like clothing for instance However last Monday I dropped in to madam Amelia's dress shop to price some of the items She was featuring in a post Easter sale in no time at all I discovered that if madam Amelia would let me pay for it on time I could easily afford the sales tax on her cheapest dress But thanks to a proposition madam made to me I did leave the store with four new dresses at breakfast Friday morning My landlady commented on one of them another day another dress. It's a beauty Connie Thanks, Mrs. Davis You've no idea what it's been like to sit opposite you during this past week every day a new dress that looks like the first Breath of spring glad you like the mrs. Davis, but I wish you'd cheer up a little Your dress looks like the first breath of spring and your face looks like the last gasp of winter What's the trouble Connie well, you know the agreement I have with madam Amelia, don't you quite yes She said she'd give you a brand new suit free of charge If you'd introduce some of her clothes into Madison High School this week I wasn't only supposed to introduce the mrs. Davis There was also supposed to be an increase in business But since you've been wearing the dresses hasn't business increased 25% at do buries across the street That's ridiculous the jump at do buries is just a coincidence. You deserve the dress anyhow Look at the work you've done. How many other teachers would want to wear a brand new dress to school every day I don't know how many teachers are there in the United States No, I'm afraid I haven't lived up to my part of the bargain as a matter of fact our agreement officially Terminated last night. I was supposed to return the dresses then but you're wearing one of them this morning I just couldn't face my old blue jersey suit for at least one more day Besides I figured after all this time somebody's bound to notice me You mean no one's paid any attention to your new outfit so far. Well, I did get some encouragement yesterday I've been sitting opposite mr. Boynton at lunch for three days in a row and each day I had a new dress on yesterday. He finally noticed something different about me. What did he say he said miss Brooks You've got some eraser dust on your neck Of course a few of the female members of the faculty admired the dresses, but they're evidently too poor to do any buying How about your principal Connie? Did he comment on the transformation? Mr. Conklin hasn't commented on anything, but his newest economy drive another one But he just ordered a big cutback in school expenses last month that came from the board of education This is his own idea and you ought to see him enforce it Why I broke a pointer the other day while he was in my classroom and before it even hit the floor He had snatched up the short piece and filed down the rough edge And what did he do with it? He gave it to a teacher with long arms He's a beauty all right That's Walter Denby right there Walter. I've got to run Mrs. Davis Thanks for breakfast. You're welcome dear and don't look so discouraged about to deal with madam Amelia You've still got today to put it over. I'll try just remember this Connie whether it's modeling or anything else You only get out of something what you put into it believe me. Mrs. Davis everything. I've got I've put into this dress Please Walter keep your eyes on the road What in the world are you staring at anyway? Just the most scintillating vision in the world Huh? I wish I didn't have to drive it all I wish I could just sit here and drink you in and all your intoxicating loveliness Hand me a mirror. I'd like to get high, too Curry is overwhelming. Oh, it's only your do miss Brooks. Gosh. I've always admired you personally But the way you've looked this last week makes the way you used to look positively hag like I Should have quit when I was ahead The dress you've got on today's a knockout miss Brooks. What are those colors in it? They're chartreuse and cerise Walter. They are of course those are the fancy names Actually, these colors are nothing but good old down-to-earth plain and simple pews and magenta You've been dressing the last few days has had eyes popping all over the school. That's funny. I haven't heard a thing Female members of the faculty look like Eddie canter Of course, I'll admit it took everybody a few days to start noticing your new wardrobe But I think I have the answer for that. Oh, what is it? Well, it's because everyone has seen me in that blue Jersey suit of yours for such a long time It got so that after a while nobody ever looked below your face It sure does got a Kleenex Glad that somebody's finally noticing these outfits. I wouldn't be human if I wasn't. Oh, don't you worry about that You're human. All right Thanks for the affidavit Harriet told me you got the outfits at Madame Amelia. I told my mother about him last night And she said she must be a wonderful dressmaker. Oh, she is yeah My mother said she wants to visit the place herself, but she was wondering when would be a good time What is she doing yesterday? I mean Before I forget miss Brooks at when I spoke to Harriet on the phone this morning She said to tell you to please stop at her dad's office as soon as you get to school It's probably in connection with this new economy drive of his. I extravagantly requisitioned a new eraser last week This driver pain he's even cutting down on her athletic equipment Here we got a big track meet coming up and he won't provide any high hurdles for the guys to practice on all we got Is the old low hurdles? Oh, that isn't an insurmountable problem Walter What do you mean? All you have to do is put up the low hurdles and let the boys run on their knees Who is it and is your business urgent? It's miss Brooks and it can wait indefinitely bye not so fast come in miss Brooks Now then I'll come right to the point the reason I wanted to miss Brooks Isn't that another new dress you have on? Yes, sir. Really remarkable miss Brooks. May I ask you a question? Certainly, sir. Are you able to dress this way on your salary or have you come into an inheritance? No, sir. No, sir. What? No, sir. Mr. Conkman Come into an inheritance, but these new clothes. How do you pay for them? Well, you see sir. You don't gamble do you? Well, I don't want to pry into your personal life after all you've worn that blue jersey job long enough Suffice it to say that in the past week you've given the rest of the faculty something to shoot at the dresses Can't be that bad On the contrary they're very smart But to get back to the reason for your being here as you know miss Brooks I am in the midst of a new economy drive here at Madison. Oh, I know mr. Conklin Mr. Boynton and I discussed it thoroughly at lunch yesterday. Oh, then you're beginning to feel the pinch Certainly not all we ever do is talk I'm afraid everyone's feeling the pinch. Well, believe me. It's a necessary measure in these parlors time Mr. Stone the head of the school board is coming over to my home this afternoon for tea Naturally, I'm interested in impressing him with the strides. We've made it Madison naturally and it has occurred to me that an excellent Weight convince him of the wisdom of my economy policy is to show him what a teacher such as yourself can do on a limited budget Me yes, miss Brooks if you'd come to our home this afternoon My wife and I would be most pleased to see you in one of your new dresses. That is well That's very nice. Mr. Conklin. Oh, and since it's a bit late for her to pick up anything But would you consider lending mrs. Conklin one of your other new creations just for the day, of course Well, mr. Conklin, I don't want you to think that this is a command performance miss Brooks, but you will be there at four, won't you? Yes, sir Oh She's in my office right now. It's for you miss Brooks be brief, please Yes, sir. Hello. Who is this madam who? Oh Yes, I know last night was the last yes, but I just Have them back today, but I very well as quickly as possible. Goodbye Well, if you'll excuse me, sir, I'd better be getting into class nothing wrong Is there wrong or what could be wrong? I just don't want to be late. You know how hungry my pupils are for learning Starved is the word Well, you'll be at my house at four sharp miss Brooks is that correct mr. Conklin?

Conklin that I didn't really own any of the madam Amelia dresses But before making that decision. I thought I'd discuss it with mr. Boynton when I arrived at the school cafeteria I purchased my lunch and I just sat down to a table when who should come walking by but mr. Boynton himself Naturally, he stopped immediately Sorry, miss Brooks. I I didn't see your foot there in the aisle Forgive me mr. Boynton. I didn't mean to trip you so hard Your lunch isn't all wasted. Oh no miss Brooks. Luckily my salad landed right side up My hamburger landed on my salad You landed on your jello Let me help you pick up your dishes Gosh, that was a strawberry jello. I sat in does it look terribly messy miss Brooks In fact, it's rather attractive. I bet when you walk down the school steps, you look just like a sunset But mr. Boynton there's something I'd like to ask you oh before you do miss Brooks I'd like to pop a question to you first of course it it might be considered quite personal But with your permission, I'll pop it anyway if you're going to pop the question. I've been waiting for you to pop pop away pop Miss Brooks that dress you've got on isn't that another new one why mr. Boynton you've been paying attention after all You like it? Oh very much. It's a very interesting shade Yellow isn't it just where the butter landed when you dropped your tray It's mostly chartreuse mr. Boynton. It's very exciting almost identical in shade to the skin of a young frog Third or fourth lovely new dress you've put on this week. How do you do it miss Brooks? I just dropped them over my head and pull up the zipper Of course, I was very fond of your blue jersey suit, too It held a sort of sentimental attraction for me. You know, that's the suit you were wearing when we met. Yes four years ago I must admit I wasn't too crazy about it at first, but well it really grew on me me, too I had quite a time chiseling it off last Monday About those new dresses mr. Boynton Miss Brooks the fact that you were able to acquire such garments on a teacher's salary is extremely commendable Well, thank you mr. Boynton I've always admired a woman who can budget herself properly a woman who can do that could be a real asset to a man She could a man could hunt for such a woman for years and years four of them to be exact With a clever and thrifty companion. There's no telling how far a man could go go go Well to to sum up my feelings in the matter I I can only say that this type of woman is downright marriage timber I'm serious miss Brooks seeing you in these new outfits has opened my eyes and well There's something I'd like to say to you. Pardon me miss Brooks, but I've got to talk to you for a minute. Oh for heaven's sakes Walter Interrupting anything. Am I just my future? What can I do for you? There's a delivery truck outside for madam a media's dress shop. The driver says you've got four dresses to send back Send back. Yes, it's just a temporary measure mr. Boynton You mean the dresses are all gonna be altered miss Brooks. No Walter like I said before just my future Hi miss Brooks heading for daddy's office. Yes, I am Harriet. I just left him I've never seen daddy in such excellent humor miss Brooks He's sure that your new gowns will make a big impression on mr. Stone this afternoon In fact, he said that your little visit this morning was like a tonic to him. Waitly. Here's the Mickey. I've got for him now I'm afraid I won't be able to come to tea this afternoon won't be able to come But why not miss Brooks and where's the gorgeous madam Amelia dress you had on this morning in a delivery truck on Main Street But I don't understand. You're wearing your old blue jersey again Where did you get that out of a bundle I had ready for the Salvation Army? It's a long and gruesome story Harriet, but I had to send the dresses back. You see I never really owned them I was just modeling them for madam Amelia if business increased She said she would give me a free one, but it didn't so she didn't and I'm back where I started last week Shall we dance? Well don't look so desperate miss Brooks all isn't lost then where is it? You're going to love me for this I was so captivated by those new gowns of yours that during your English class I secretly sketched two of them Then I took the patterns to home economics class and we spent the past couple of days making exact copies What I know you promised to lend one to mother so it'll work out. Just perfectly of course We made them out of air sats material But beggars can't be choosers and after all the main thing is not to disappoint daddy But don't you think your father and mr. Stone will notice the difference? Of course not miss Brooks when it comes to dresses women have been pulling the wool over men's eyes for years Well miss Brooks, what do you think of my idea to tell the truth Harriet? It's not bad I'm glad we got home ahead of daddy miss Brooks It gave me a chance to reinforce some of the weak places in this dress now stand still while I pin this basting in back Where are the pins? I ask you to hold I've got them in my mouth Harriet help yourself Well, that's no place to put pins ouch neither is that We've got a hurry though I heard daddy and mr. Stone go into the living room about five minutes ago I must admit you copied the style of madam Emilia's dress perfectly Harriet But tell me what kind of material did you use? Well, we started with rayon and when we ran out we used muslin Some of it feels like cheesecloth to me. Oh, it's loaded with cheesecloth But don't worry miss Brooks the way I've got it basted no one can possibly tell the difference I'll bet your mother will tell the difference when she puts hers on well frankly miss Brooks I haven't had a chance to tell her it's a copy I just left it on her bed when she was getting the tea ready and then rushed back here to you What you mean to tell me your mother doesn't know there's nothing between her and a life of shame But some cheesecloth and a fervent prayer Gee I never thought of it that way if mother bends over sits down too quickly we're sunk We're sunk your mother won't be in such good shape either You both got to be very careful I tell you what I'll do miss Brooks if I see anything beginning to go I'll give you a verbal signal a verbal signal Yes, since we'll be having tea. I'll just say something like sugar and cream miss Brooks or pass the lemon Now come on everybody's waiting for your personal appearance with the wrong kind of a break This can be the most personal appearance I've ever made But mine not to reason why I lead on Harriet ride in here miss Brooks Well, here we are daddy. So you are you know my daughter Harriet mr. Stone certainly. Hello Harriet How do you do sir and miss Brooks? Well, that isn't attractive dress you have on. Thank you, mr. Stone I've been telling mr. Stone about the wardrobe you've acquired recently miss Brooks It certainly gives impetus to an economy drive when a teacher can do what she's done Hey, mr. Stone very impressive conch and thanks to the way I manage my personal budget Mrs. Conklin has been able to enhance her wardrobe recently. He's probably jumping into her new duds right now I don't advise it Oh, I see she's left the tea right here on this table. May I act as temporary hostess? Please do I'd love some tea miss Brooks sugar and cream please so soon I'll pour it for a miss Brooks. You stand still Hello, mr. Conklin. Happy to see you again Say that's a stunning dress you have on. Yes, you look positively ravishing my dearest and just as you are Don't move a muscle. Yes, hold it for about 45 minutes I don't believe I've ever seen you looking lovely a mother you and that gown or a match that was made in heaven Oh now Oz good Honestly, mr. Stone sometimes when Ozgood pays me a compliment. He gets so extravagant with his praise. I could just split You're holding the wrong thought mrs. Conklin And may I pour you some tea? Oh, thank you, dear, but I can pour it myself bending over is good for me Oh, but you mustn't bend mother here. I'll get you a cup Oh, I'd rather do it myself Period after all the more one bends over the more one takes off around one's middle But mrs. Conklin one can take too much of one's middle after all it's nice to have something between one's bottom and one's top Yes, yes, but Why are we standing let's sit down shall we very well. Oh wait, it's not healthy to sit down after a heavy meal Heavy meals but none of us has had anything to eat since lunch time. I know but why take chances You and your quips mrs. Brookes Now let's all be seated just a moment What is it now? I propose a standing toast to our host and hostess here here a toast to our host and host Now can we sit down? Uh, would anyone like to hear some music? Oh, that's a great idea Harriet Get out your phonograph record of john philip suzer playing the star spangled banner Now stop the horse play you too Sit down mr. Stone. Now just where were we in our discussion, sir You were pointing out to me osgood what a teacher could do on her present salary if she really tried Ah, exactly exactly and not only a teacher but anyone who lives on a budget take that dress my wife is wearing Now let's not talk about me anymore osgood. Why not my dear blushing becomes you I'm just a little warm. I think I'll open a window in here. It's not that warm in here Perhaps not, but I thought I'd like to let in a little more air. Now, please Martha just sit down very well What was that that was mrs. Conklin letting some more air in Like something ripping Is that your dress mrs. Conklin? Oh, certainly not. It's still the same lovely three-piece suit. It's always been Three-piece suit Martha stand up a minute. Yes osgood Or did I tell you it's the same lovely four-piece suit. It's all With two pair of skirts This dress is coming apart at the seams But I don't understand it neither do I but I better get into my bedroom and change. Excuse me, please Miss Brooks, perhaps you can explain what's going on here and not now mr. Conklin. I'd better go in and help mrs. Conklin change I'm sure she can manage by herself now sit down mrs. Brooks. Yes, sir sugar and cream mrs. Brooks Get your own sugar and cream Harriet Miss Brooks sit down not much mr. Stone, but an awful lot is coming off I think I'd better pour myself a cup of tea the lemon mrs. Brooks. Where's the lemon it went that way I think I'm beginning to see what this is all about I beg your pardon first you give me all this talk about retrenching Then you demonstrate that what a teacher can buy on her salary these days is actually nothing but junk I've got to give you credit conklin. Your idea is brilliant It is Certainly You've given me a graphic display that too much economy can't possibly work in these days of rising prices Osgood conklin You're really clever Oh come After all my wife and miss Brooks were a considerable assistant, you know Yes, indeed you you and mother would make a fine pair of actresses mrs. Brooks. Well, thank you, mr. Conklin I know one theater in town that would love to have us Which one is that mrs.
