It looked fine: a slim aluminum pencil 32 in. in diameter and 44 ft. long, packed with the finest products of modern technology.

To nurses, the top designer and dressmaker is Manhattan's White Swan Uniforms, Inc. Last week White Swan brought out a fat new catalogue with 98 attractive styles. Newest additions to the line: a high-busted, low-waisted Dior-like model that could almost double as a cocktail dress...
