and Mrs. Thomas Sprague were in town, and partly because the Ship Room at the Huntington had been completely revamped and was ready for inspection. Speaking of this room, it somehow makes you feel as if you were submarine dancing, or maybe I mean dancing in an aquarium.

Now, a hanger to fit your suits! A curved hanger that curves into the padded shoulders and rounded bulk of your ultra-smart jackets and stays where it should. Squared shoulder and rounded silhouette suits alike have a fashion of slipping forward or back off a straight hanger.
