...causeway that cut directly across it. The historic trackage was hauled off and melted down to help meet World War II metal shortages. Even the causeway line is now used by only one passenger train, the City of San Francisco, and the railroad wants to suspend service between Ogden, Utah, and Oakland, Calif...
Last week, in a deal that combined friendship with business acumen, the "21" Club became a part of the wide-ranging empire of Ralph E. Ablon, chairman of New York-based Ogden Corp. For about $10 million in stock, Ablon acquired the tangible assets of "21" (among them $250,000 worth of old English silver that graces its walls) as well as its valuable land and the three brownstones in which it operates.

What is more, a lot of the women who wear pants should take a cue from Ogden Nash. Designer Norman Norell says: "Every time I ship a box of pants to the stores, I worry about who is going to wear them." In Norell's trousers, which are cut straight from the hip, any woman who is not reed-thin is apt to look like a walking example of cluster zoning. A well-curved curple is absolutely essential, too, for the Yves St. Laurent pants suits that are the cat's pajamas at the moment. Although some...
