When crusty, 80-year-old Judith Pedlock visited London, she wrote a postcard to her daughter Gertrude reporting that the weather was rainy, that the stiffness had left her right knee, and that she was bringing back to the U.S. a Mr. Jacob Ellenbogan, whom she intended to marry. The news infuriated the wealthy Pedlock family down to the third and fourth generations. Mama must be off her rocker!

Sandra Dee sees nothing incongruous about wearing them as she rides about Los Angeles in her Rolls. Wellesley Senior Chris Godfrey finds them the perfect outfit when gallants pick her up for a date...
Yale, after a frustrating 17-14 loss to Rutgers, will be gunning for a punchless Brown today, and the Bruins should take to the hills. The Elis will be without star quarterback Brian Dowling, who suffered a torn knee ligament last week, but that doesn't matter: Brown last week lost both of its top quarterbacks, Jack McMahon and Wynn Jessup...
