Both are equally young, equally beautiful. But Sondra...
Early last month their irritation rose to a rage when the Guild sent out a new "declaration of cooperation" full of whopping additions to the original. Retailers who had agreed merely not to sell any dresses they knew to be copies in the upper price ranges were required not to sell any copies at all and to give the Guild's 40 professional shoppers authority to determine what was and what was not a copy. Department store managers either shook their heads or got hopping mad. Following the Strawbridge & Clothier incident war was openly declared...
