I vaguely remember those Jackie Kennedy days. I have a drawer full of
gloves my mother owned. Long gloves for formal occasions (Marine Corps
Ball, no doubt) and short gloves for when she was going to a luncheon.
I have a couple of her old hats, too. I don't remember her wearing them
to go shopping, though.
