Oh, hi Betty! So nice to see you. How's Don? And little Sally?

What a hoot to run into you here! Yes, it's a fab boutique. When we moved out of the city, I was afraid I'd never find good clothes again. Just in case, I left Roger instructions to bury my ashes at Bergdorf.

That's a pretty dress. Where'd you get it? It's awfully snug; is it comfortable? Oh, this old thing? I picked it up last season. Roger says I can only replace my wardrobe every other year; he's not partner yet!

I'm on my way to the beauty parlor? Want to come? Yes, Gladys is a magician. The things she does for me. Men don't understand how hard we work to look good for them. It's a full-time job. Well, at least we get time off for cocktails.

Do you need a light? Yes, these matches are very cute. I got them at Henri Bendel. For all the money I spend there, the least they can do is give me free matches. Roger says Lucky Strike is going to put us on Easy Street soon. Fingers crossed!
