Kid, I found these while sorting out items.  They look wonderful.  Current even.  Please mount them on iron and frame them with just the simplest collier of diamonds…I also had lunch with Fred (XXXX over top this word) John and Peter on Sunday and they want to see you.  Could we all lunch together, maybe?  Peggy

Text typed in image: Claire McCardell, the talented designer, whose label means to many an American girl the special way she wants to look, poses in one of the pretty aprons she has designed for the New York Association for the Blind, to be made by blind workers.  A flaring circle of yellow dotted swiss, with a string tie, it covers the skirt of your dinner dress while you commute between your guests and the kitchen—or, on a very hot day, you might wear it with only a pretty petticoat and a bare-back blouse, as Miss McCardell does here on the back porch.  $3.98, at the Lighthouse, 111 East 59^th Street, New York 22.
