KODACHROME BY LOUISE DAHL-WOLFE
Cowpoke Pants in Purple Corduroy and a sleeveless blue shantung shirt. The pants (note the length nipped off just above the anklebone) are in Crompton's wide-wale fabric, about $23.00; the Stafford silk shirt, about $17.00. 
Both, by Joset Walker. Saks Fifth Avenue; Julis Garfinckel; I. Magnin; Neiman-Marcus. Gilt ear hoops, by Monet. Kid sandals, by Bernardo. The exactly right lipstick-Jacqueline Cochran's "Pink Tang."
 
Flowered Irish Linen in an easy skirt that buttons down the front (the flowers are a pure blue, the ground is white), worn with a classic cap-sleeved blouse of slate blue Honan silk with a pale pink chiffon scarf sashed around the waist. About $60.00
for the three pieces. By Larry Aldrich. Saks Fifth Avenue; Joseph Magnin; William H. Block. Showering almost to the shoulder, earrings made of jingly, glittery gilt coins by Mosell.

The average price of a new home then was $9000 about 2.56 times the yearly average wage of $3510.  Which was about 2.34 times the price of a new car $1500.  Today?
