Dear Miss Blue,

It just  took my breath away when I saw Elsie Lavender modeling the Claire McCardell dress!  How stunning Elsie looks and I remenbered  the times when Claire McCardell was the fashion there in the stores on 5th Avenue. Of course, Miss Blue, I did buy the dress!  I loved the style and the fabric that was selected by Claire McCardell herself; always unique!  My dress was a beautiful cotton dress with a diagonal zipper opening from shoulder to waist covered with the fabric and so elegant and mysterious and unusual.

I had to laugh out loud, Miss Blue, when you described Elsie's little dog Jitters.  I never ever liked little dogs, they are always of the barking kind with little yelping voices; not at all like the bigger dogs who really love to bark loudly to frighten the paper boys and other delivery persons.  How kind of Louise to make the mashed peas and poached liver.  I hope Jitters was calmed and sat quietly in the corner of the kitchen.  Although small creatures are usually wary - they truly are fearful and bark their tiny bark - so need to be pacified with special food.  

Love,

Pearl
