Their gown-featured in the June Vogue and snapped up by such fashion luminaries as Mrs. William Paley and Actress Anita Colby-is the dress of the month, and sounds one of the strongest fashion chords of 1965: the one-bare shoulder look.

After working her bit of mischief as member of a hung jury, she sallies forth to pursue her hunch that a wilted rose and a faded theater program offer irrefutable evidence that a homicide has a ham in it.
