the other and then turned around and returned to me to ask, "Didn't I see you on the Allen Burke show a while back?" I had to allow that he had. He was very nice about it, but I began to get slightly paranoid about it feeling that everyone who looked at me was remembering me as the TV on the Burke show. Of course they weren't but it shook me up a bit anyway. Certainly proved that we got coverage though and that the message sank in to people's memory.

They proved to be two very nice women, interested in the subject and not at all condemnatory. So any of you in New York who are interested in furs (new and used) or in having dresses made or altered, I recommend them to you. If you call the number given just tell Gertrude that I gave her a special plug in my travelogue.
