w reacheS you we, the Davis family of Short Hills,
New Jersey, will be in Moscow part of the American
National Exhibition and all because are typical
American suburban family.
Our mission in Moscow is to be ourselves. Three
or four times day we will make our appearance
under the enormous translucent plastic umbrellas of
the Exhibition building in Sokolniki Park, showing
off business clothes and play clothes and party clothes
and blue jeans (the kind of clothes we wear every
day. in other words) in the us. Fashion Industries

enough Russian to be able to tell our audiences who
in their equivalent of words of one syllable,
and from there, Russan-speakng fashion expert Vera
Bacal goes on to describe how we live and what we
do in sensational to their eyes blue jeans and
drpdry business suits and goucky dresses.
How II All Started
This assignment had its beginning in Short Hills on
typical weekday morning last April. The kids, one
by one had banged their way down the stairs cattered
through breakfast grabbed their books, and started
for school With less uproar had also breakfasted,
kissed my wife, Sally goodbye and gone off to work
in the city When the front door closed for the last
time Sally looked about her. Laundry day, and five
beds to strip and make up. Marketing My suits to 60
to the cleaners Our daughter had music lesson at
three; boy would have to be chauffeured to the
dentist four; the other had Little League game
at $50; Sally's report due for the PTA.; there
was fertilizer to be picked up for the roses we had
people coming for dinner; and when in the middle of
this day anything going to be done about touch
ing up the house getting the winter clothes ready
to put away?
1T all looked so impossible" Sally told me later
Il just sat down the sofa and had another cup of
coffee and started reading the paper"
Such moments of defiance, believe, are known
once in a while to most suburban wives days when
the load the electricians say, gets too heavy for
the circuit.
AS Sally went through the paper, she noticed

We went ahead and filled out the applications and
the next week the committee asked the whole family
to come into the city and be interviewed and in

course, but to our complete joy they finally chose U.S.

To begin with, we own our own houSe-at least we

will nose the bank out, just the time is coming
when we will root the last cmp of crab grass out of

what is happening to the lawn this summer, incden-

season. No lawn-mowing problem
Our Typical Features

pleased with the round number have. First there

and an Explorer Scout. He plays the drums in the
school band, baseball on the Junior Varsity, and is
working toward his senior lifesaver's badge at the
