Since then Mrs. Thompson has commuted to Manhattan every day with her adman husband, John Beaton (twice-married Alice Thompson uses her first husband's name in business) from their ten-room farmhouse in Fairfield, Conn. At home, Mrs. Thompson does much of her work and at home she often finds out exactly what her readers want to hear about. Her daughter, Judy, is just...

When he built his new store, between Basil Street and Braupton Road, a domed and gingerbready six-story edifice with 13½ acres of floor space, Burbidge shrewdly allowed for expansion by letting out the top floors as flats. Of the ten flats that are left, the largest belongs to his grandson Sir Richard Burbidge, Bt., who was born there and grew up to be the present managing director.
