| Dear Diary: |
| When I lived in New York City and we ordered things by telephone, Saks offered three needlepoint pillows. Two fit perfectly with celestial theme I had chosen for bedroom; the third had more of a holiday theme. |
| Well trained, I ordered the two by item number. |
| Equally well trained, the Saks representative on the other end of the line checked: “So, you want the ‘Sun’, the ‘Moon and Stars,’ but not ‘Peace on Earth,’ right?” |
| There was a pause as we both considered what she had said. Then we both chuckled. |
| “Well, yeah,” I replied, “of course I want peace on earth … ” |
“But bigger than pillow-size,” the woman said.
