...sales 10% above 1957. What made merchants everywhere particularly happy was that buyers headed for the expensive goods. Said Cyril Magnin of San Francisco's Joseph Magnin: "All the higher-priced lines in everything did very well." Philadelphia reported a year-end run on jewelry and furs. Said Max Robb, president of the City Stores chain: The customers of all income groups "traded up." i.e., bought items in a higher price class than last year...
Hips, Neck & Knees. In Germany such celebrities as Max Schmeling and his ex-movie actress wife Anny Ondra have posed twirling what the Germans call Swing Reifen, Sport Reifen, Hula Reifen or Hulahupp. A Hanover store increased its sales by offering to deliver well-wrapped hoops after nightfall to childless couples who were too sheepish to carry them home.

Now, full of years and honor, she lives in a Venetian palace, paints her toes and fingers silver, and has her own gondoliers sashed in blue to match her eyes. They call...
...unfortunate German governess, muscular trouble (treated with galvanism), and a feeling that she was not so pretty as her sisters. Actually, she grew up to be the most celebrated beauty of London society, later impressed the U.S. public by her appearances as the Virgin and as the Nun in Max Reinhardt's 1924 production of The Miracle. She was spared the rigors of a formal education, and to this day claims that her spelling is so phonetic that when she has a cold she writes Bs for Ms. Her father, the Eighth Duke, seems to have been a dull...
