In the drawing room, Brooklyn-born Ziegfield Follies star Martha Lorber and model Marion Morehouse wear fashionable pajama ensembles. Lorber's, by Mary Nowitsy are of rose-painted blue silk; Morehouse wears Lucien Lelong."When the pajama first appeared on the fashion horizon," noted Vogue, "it was a startling novelty, only to be included in the more extreme wadrobes. Now, it has become an accepted fashion, welcomed for its practical qualities, as well as its piquant note of difference...." The women are seated on a carved Louis XV canapé with needlepoint upholstery.
