Hat
c 1955
Millinery by Sally Victor

When Premier Khrushchev and his wife arrived for their visit in 1959, Mamie so pitied Mrs. Khrushchev’s dull, frumpy attire that she gave her a fashionably new Sally Victor hat.  Mrs. Khrushchev felt she couldn’t wear it since it so blatantly exemplified capitalism.
