Dixie Dugan #8
After a hectic night of tossing and thinking, Mrs. Dugan meets with Mr. Beetle, who presents her with a contract for a dress-making business targeting high society, warning her that he wouldn't want her to create dresses for competitor Miss Ensign. Mrs. Dugan attends a high society event where she is introduced to society circles as "the woman I've been raving about" regarding exclusive dress designs. The story culminates in a rummage sale held at her dress shop, where the business appears to face financial trouble despite the initial high-society endorsement.
