Marjorie Morningstar
“THE NEW NOEL “Hello!” she said. “Good Lord, look at you.”
The change in him was startling. He wore a new pin-stripe black suit, black shoes, a white shirt with a short pinned collar, and a gray silk tie. His hair was trimmed close, and the color in his face was remarkably fresh. “Come along, I’ve ordered the lunch already.” The headwaiter bowed them to a conspicuously empty table in the middle of the crowded wood-panelled room.
Marjorie was very ill at ease. All the women in the room lo...oked bitingly smart: Paris hats, tailored suits, elegant hair-dos were everywhere. She wore no hat, her hair fell loosely to her shoulders (this had been an effort to look like Clarice), and the red dress was a truly horrible blunder. She had been too prostrated by the Flamm fiasco to think of changing when she left the house. The glances of the men were the usual thing, but the glances of the women, which really mattered in such a place, were disdainful and slightly amused.MoreLess
