...Duke of Windsor and his Duchess arrived safely in Manhattan-the Duke in a blue suit (and cotton sweater and plaid shirt), the Duchess in what she helpfully described to some 50 welcoming reporters and cameramen as "a blue wool suit with a red wool jersey, a striped silk hat-I guess that's what you call it-with a veil, and a black box calf and alligator handbag." Also a mink stole. But no jewels. (Explained the Duke, whose Duchess got stolen blind back in Britain: "Well, really, there wouldn't be many left to bring...
Bones in the Cinders. Police learned that Evelyn had borrowed a Packard sedan from a garage proprietor on that day, had returned it later with the front seat covered with blood. In the car, police found John Dick's blue sweater. Out in the back yard of her home, police found bits of human bones mixed with some cinders from the furnace.

Spirited undergraduates wearing white wool sweater and mouse-colored sneakers, and frothing for a furious afternoon of net-play, are apt to find nothing more athletic at Jarvis than a slow set of Bean-Bag with a law student's heir. And not only are there law students' heirs. There are law students' wives. There...
...tight. The third show they're loaded." She went from there to the Paramount Theater and later a 26-week contract alternating with Perry Como on radio's Chesterfield Supper Club. Soon she was rated the most-listened-to female vocalist and was the most frequently photographed sweater girl in radio. Her recording of Symphony sold 500,000 records. Her 1945 income: $125,000. She now tops all popular girl singers but velvet-voiced, $250,000-a-year Dinah Shore...
