...McLeans had the finest honeymoon money could buy. To top it off, Evalyn dropped in at Cartier's in Paris, bought herself a jeweled ornament called the Star of the East ($120,000) and smuggled it through the U. S. Customs. Father paid up, of course. Another time when Evalyn and Ned went abroad, to get over having had their first baby, Evalyn won about $70,000 at Monte Carlo and they set off to drive to Paris.
