LUCK, BE A LADY

David decided to take Theater as his final elective of Middle School. They'll be presenting Guys & Dolls in May. David will play Sky Masterson.

Tomorrow, Baslow will take David downtown to search second-hand clothes stores and, perhaps, theatrical costume shops for the elements of Sky's wardrobe: a fedora, certainly; a natty, retro suit (how retro? Thirties? Forties? No later than Fifties, surely); a broad tie; a suitable shirt (what sort of shirt?)...

This must be done on the cheap. There is the future health of the College Fund to consider.

Baslow is not a fashion-conscious individual. There will be a lot of guesswork, a lot of improvisation, involved in this expedition.

Keep your fingers crossed, Dear Reader.
