...million. Allied Stores, a large retail chain, is negotiating to buy Bonwit's twelve branches across the country, which it would operate under the Bonwit Teller name. But at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, where Bonwit's was rouged cheek by powdered jowl with Tiffany and Bergdorf Goodman, there will probably be some sort of highrise...
...history's greatest mail-order spending spree, and despite the catalogues' enticements to decadence and conspicuous frivolity, Americans for the most part ordered up gifts that tended to be more tenable than trendy, disproving the adage that there's no fool like a Yule fool. Said Bergdorf Goodman Executive Vice President Leonard Hankin: "This was the kind of Christmas where people were investing in things because they were not so sure of what was going to happen to their dollars."

...with any romance in his/her soul, would present a loved one with a stove? Better a filmy negligee or even a velour shirt (both went well this winter).

Said he: "I have found a new form of simplicity." Turning his back on Cossacks and gypsies, he drew his inspiration from "the streets of New York." One YSL eyecatcher: a tricolored cotton shirt worn with sailcloth pants. His ready-to-wear clothes were modern, young and?with one or two see-through and derriere-baring exceptions?eminently wearable on Manhattan's avenues. That?if not his prices...
