...lone bawdyhouse expanded into a half-block of frame buildings, each well furnished, neatly painted and with window boxes full of geraniums. In Ventura County she became as well known as Oxnard's huge American Crystal Sugar Co. refinery. Lucy was the more spectacular sight. She wore bright, low-cut silk dresses from which her slatlike collarbones protruded, and she affected picture hats and high-heeled shoes. Her wigs were her pride -she had a long, black, wavy one, a short, straight, bobbed one, and for special occasions a shoulder-length...

Transcontinental & Western Air, Inc., which could hardly wait to start transatlantic flying in DC-4s, suddenly cooled.

Hermès, famed for his sport dresses, featured his low-necked "Boston." Another newcomer, Pierre Balmain, managed to be very chic and comparatively reasonable: his mauve taffeta and tight-skirted black silk evening gown (price: $360) also had long gloves of matching taffeta. Spanish-born, ex-Communist Balenciaga was the only one who went against the mode. The New York Sun's Judy Barden quipped about Balenciaga's conservative collection: "It reminds...
