All that glitters

(1958 April 29)

P.S. About M's gold blouse you wrote her about - I never saw one just like it. When it came, it looked almost metallic - the first time she wore it, her underwear was covered with gilt. Then I washed it separately by hand and the water was full of gilt. But after a while it quieted down and now I like it even better as it is softer and goes well with a black skirt of mine with gold Egyptian insets.
