Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: It doesn't matter how elegant the pants are. You won't get past head waiters in Toronto's smart dining places if you wear these internationally accepted new evening clothes. Jean Williams tried it last night at Royal York and while waiter telephones for instructions assistants inspect her satin and brocade outfit.
