**Interesting... Those ladies, not going out without pearls and hats... was 
that a contingent of the population that built LLL or exactly the part that 
was not engaged...?
Somehow to me it seems like we're talking about a more wealthy part of 
society and (when I link it to the Dutch situation) a very specific part as 
well.
I don't *have* pearls and I suppose many women didn't in the 50's...? 
Hmmm... this small sentence from Pat makes me wonder about the story behind 
it... ;-)

Warmly,
