For the sweater that looks Hand-made, not Home-made.

The "rules" of the 1950's, said
Jaffe, required that she "get the
best marks to get into a good
school, but to lose at games be-
cause boys don't like girls who
were too smart or too good at
sports. We weren't prepared to
go through life as a whole
human being."
Her parents, for instance, took
her to "nice resorts" where she
could woo a suitor while playing
tennis. "The funny thing," said
Jaffe, who now never touches a
racket, "was that I loved tennis.
But when I found out that I was
supposed to get out on the
courts to meet boys, it lost all
its fun. I was just supposed to
look good in my 'little thing' so I
would be invited to the dance
that evening. I thought that was
hypocritical. I thought that if it
was destined to be, it would be."
Later at Radcliffe, amid
courses on Western civilization
and Oriental art and American
literature, Jaffe came across a
course, with the delightful (and,
now, slightly archaic) name of
"Gracious Living." "It was kind
of a joke," she remembers, "but
we did learn how to pour de-
mitasse after dinner. That way,
we could be the proper wives of
powerful men and live happily
ever after. Some people really
thought that being the power
behind the throne was the most
wonderful job in the world."
Even the bright girls of
Radcliffe assumed that a college
education was just a way station
on the road to the altar. "If you
were going steady or were
engaged," Jaffe said, "people
would say that there was really
no point in going on to graduate
school. Or if you wanted to be a
doctor, you were told to marry a
doctor."
Jaffe was different from the
pack: She knew she wanted to
be a writer and nothing would
dissuade her.
"A lot of my friends told me
that I was lucky because I knew
what I wanted to do. But I dated
a lot of boys who were very hos-
tile about it. They saw me as
competition. To some extent,
though, being a writer was a
harmless profession for a girl.
There was an attitude that at
least I could do it at home. I
could write my Great American
Novel while the kids were out or
were taking a nap."
The kids never went out be-
cause Jaffe never had any. But
the novels came, one after an-
other. Whether they were great
remains to be seen. The verdict
so far is that at least they were
highly profitable.
Jaffe's first novel was pub-
lished in 1958, just seven years
after she graduated from
Radcliffe. The Best of Everything
was made into a film the next
year starring Joan Crawford,
Louis Jourdan and Suzy Parker.
Twenty-one years ter was Jaf-
fe's tenth and fastest selling
novel, Class Reunion. Since
1979, when it was first released,
Class Reunion has sold over 2.5
million copies. With the release
a month ago of the book's
sequel, the aptly titled After the
