November 11 is Veterans Day, and I’m marking the occasion with this World War II-era cover illustration from the Saturday Evening Post. This G.I. certainly seems to be enjoying the customer service he’s receiving at the perfume counter.

Illustration by John Newton Howitt (1885-1958) for the Saturday Evening Post, published January 17, 1924.

I bought Debbie Harry's memoir FACE IT last month and saved it for travels over the long Thanksgiving weekend. It was an excellent companion for long Amtrak rides. This morning we arrived home, via overnight train, in Newark NJ. Guess whom I saw in the station waiting for her own train? . . #blondie #heartofglass #atomic #onewayoranother #debbieharry #chanceencounter
