From the July 14, 1952 MODERN LIVING feature - “PAMPER HOUSE: Women Help Selves To Beauty At Quarter Admission, Dime An Item.” According to LIFE, “A brand new idea in beauty salons with beauty served cafeteria style opened on Fifth Avenue and 48th Street recently and became an immediate success with New York’s working women and shopping suburban housewives. At this unique club, in which a yearly membership costs $1, members can take a shower, wash their hair, give themselves a manicure or home permanent, freshen make-up, change their clothes or just drop in to read or watch television in the modern lounge, or to rest in the quiet alcove. Each visit to the Pamper House costs 25 cents.” This image was featured in the story and illustrates a perfume spray - one of the most popular services offered and the first of its kind in use.

Today’s view from the office! I’m on a team of library staff at the #sapereaude retreat at Blue Ridge Assembly. The last time I was here I got in trouble for cussing on the ropes course. The times have changed! https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Ob7MBBvR3IZrR0p7Lxwcc4fTeQuB0iMfZYRI0/?igshid=1qisfpsap7a3y
