Here’s some morale for the troops! LIFE asked Ginger Rogers (not shown here) to give a dream party to a GI, and the lucky recipient was the lipstick-covered Private John Farnsworth. The 22-year-old Farnsworth had served three years in the Pacific during WWII and returned home in 1944 to recover from malaria. After lunch, dancing, and games, the women sent him on his way–with a story to tell his buddies.
Women shown above include: Barbara Hale, Lynne Baggett, Gloria DeHaven, Lynn Bari, Jinx Falkenburg, Dolores Moran, and Chili Williams.
Talk about your day in the sun!
Ooooo, that would scare me – you can’t keep an eye on them all at all times, they could get up to mischief, you know how women are.

Wow – those ladies are gorgeous. Love their hair and make-up and clothes. Would have been a fun era to be around in. A bit of class.
