Why is she riding the subway?

In NY, its always been the way people travelled. I had an elderly aunt who grew up in NY City and was a young woman in the 1940's and 50's. She wore gloves in public, pillbox hats with short veils, etc... In her photos she looked like Grace Kelly. She dressed like this every day, and rode the subway downtown to work every morning.

What a classy era!

In New York, rich celebrities take cabs or limos.

There’s no need for her to take the subway.

I’m a woman from that era. The dark seamed stockings and rubber girdles were no fun,though.:-)
