Grecian statuary and filled urns enhanced the classical setting." The article partially reads "Mannequins of the Assistance League of Southern California marked another successful Afternoon with Eve benefit and paid tribute in fashion to 'the eternal woman.' An estimated 450 women attended the ninth annual event held this year in the gardens of the Los Angeles home of Siruphe (sic) Philibosian."
