...Feminine Touch. Before the vacation was over, Mamie too got in a bit of hunting-feminine style. Driving into Thomasville with Mrs. Humphrey, the First Lady (who often gets her clothes from Designer Mollie Parnis) stopped off at Steyerman's Department Store and bought nine dresses-linens, cottons and silk prints (size 14) in small, muted patterns. On impulse Mamie also tried on some of Steyerman's new over-the-fore-head hats. The upshot, familiar to many a U.S. husband, was that she emerged from Steyerman's with the same black pillbox she had been wearing...
...studies of store fronts are now familiar, not for the Victorian corsets or the old top hats, but for Atget's treatment of glass and reflection, which is strikingly modern, indeed almost surrealistic. His photographs were in fact first published in a Surrealistic magazine in 1926. The study of a tree stump will also strike many as similar to the contemporary Edward Weston's Point Lobos series.

Manufacturers' durable-goods inventories were still climbing, said the Commerce Department. In December they reached $26.3 billion, a whisper away from the $26.6 billion reached in 1953 just before the cut in buying and inventory recession. But this time there was a vital difference in the nature of the U.S. economy. Sales are now a far bigger proportion of inventories. Said Manhattan's Bankers Trust Vice President Roy Reierson: "Generally, there...
Through a Glass Darkly. In Sacramento, Calif., William Jaglas was arrested when he was found inside a shoe store after closing hours despite his explanation that he broke the window when he leaned against it, crawled inside to wait for the owner's arrival in the morning...
