Bearded rabbis in frock coats and black hats stepped solemnly down King George Avenue to the pale gold building, crossed the pastel rose and green entrance hall and climbed the Galilee-marble staircase (or took the elevator) to the huge reception hall on the fifth floor. They mingled there with a crush of notables as international as Israel herself: robed prelates of the Greek Orthodox and Coptic Churches, Moslem and Druse dignitaries, and members of the diplomatic corps (who kept their hats on like their Israeli hosts). There were even some English ladies in picture hats-guests of Benefactor Wolf...
...Mackle houses are hard to beat for the price. At Port Charlotte, the company sells ten different models of pastel-colored, concrete-block ranch-type houses from $6,960 (one bedroom, living room, kitchen and screened porch) to $16,260 (three bedrooms, living-dining area, two baths, garage, terrazzo floors, tile roof).

Incidentally, pastel and white mink have for years given an assist to Casper's greenhouses and choicer gardens, so Manhattan's Ferti-Mink [a fertilizer for penthouse plants] isn't so extraordinary...
...resorts have prospered more happily from the postwar tourist boom than the Bahamas, where last year 194,618 visitors-six times the 1949 total-enjoyed the other-century feel of picturesque streets, cheerful native servants, and dress-for-dinner luxury in a sun-washed tropical setting. Last week the pastel shops of Nassau's Bay Street were shuttered light at the height of the winter season, the colony's 16 major hotels were closed and empty. In a matter of days all but 24 of some 3,500 tourists fled home by cruise ship and plane. As they...
