[Marvystone]

A chic couple prepares for a dockside clambake, a breeze to pull off, thanks to the new accessories of the "portable age"—folding tables and chairs, freezer packs, plastic bags and aluminum foil—documented by John Rawlings for the August 1952 House & Garden. All this convenience, including frozen food, does not preclude the handmade touch, an embroidered Mexican cloth.
