Think about it: billions of people in the world, and the two of you — random strangers — found one another and fell in love. What are the odds? And now you’re a pair, a couple, a team and, as in the new novel, “Mrs. Houdini” by Victoria Kelly, you couldn’t escape it if you wanted to. Charming or sincere. Bess Rahner was sure that show business men were one or the other, never both. At eighteen, she was already jaded about such things — and then she met Harry Houdini. It started with a blind date, a favor Bess did for her friend, but then Harry proposed to her just minutes after they met on that Coney Island boardwalk. She was a singer, performing with two other girls on a small stage. He and his brother did magic at the fairgrounds. She barely knew him; marrying him didn’t make sense but she did it anyway, the very next afternoon. Sometimes, life was a struggle: they were unimaginably poor at times, but rich in experience. They traveled the country and to Europe, but Bess longed to stay home with babies that never came, and that broke their hearts. Yet, despite it all, they loved one another and worked together to reach the fame Harry knew could be theirs. Months with a traveling circus honed their act; each new venue taught them anew. Harry always found more “impossible” ways to draw crowds, which eventually took a toll on him: like anyone, he aged, and could no longer tolerate what he was asking of his own body. He certainly couldn’t tolerate the blows to his stomach that ultimately killed him. While Bess had her tearoom to keep Fashion Tips from a Top TV Costume Designer time to pull together all these items and have created a wardrobe that you love and just can’t live without, it’s important to extend the life of these clothes.

However, limited time and money can pose challenges to building and maintaining a great wardrobe. Dan Lawson, costume designer for “The Good Wife” on CBS, offers the following tips to look put-together wherever you go, no matter what your budget is. • Remember that wellfitted clothes can make or break an outfit.

By 1929, though, Bess hadn’t heard a word — or had she? More-than-coincidental clues appeared, and they seemed to be linked to a local photographer. She had to find that man — and in doing so, she hoped to find her late husband. Want to know one of the hallmarks of a really good novel? It’s when you forget that it’s a novel. That mind-slip is made surprisingly easier when reading “Mrs. Houdini” because of the extensive research author Victoria Kelly’s done. This book is plump with real historical events and people, but a fictional thread peeks between truths — one that seemed far-fetched at first, but slowly fits with what we know (and learn) about the main characters. Kelly also has a talent for time-tripping with readers, from the late 1800s through World War II, which adds to the allure. By the time the sparkling ending is reached — an ending that couldn’t be more perfect — you’ll be entranced. Can you resist? You shouldn’t, especially if a bit of gauzy illusion is what you’d love in a romance. For you, then, “Mrs. Houdini” is great escapism. with utility & manufacturing rebates Financing Available HEATING & COOLING 920 Broadway, Yankton • 605-665-9461 • 1-800-491-9461 • www.larrysheatingandcooling.com your best in any particular garment. • Be willing to invest money in “workhorse pieces,” those items you can wear for a long time that will be instrumental to each look. Staples for women include skirts, trousers and a good pair of shoes. For men, a well-fitted suit, a good dress shirt, shoes and a nice bag or briefcase. “Having a few key staples will give you the foundation for dozens of different outfits, as long as you take good care of these workhorse pieces and keep them in good condition,” says Lawson, whose work in costume design and wardrobe has garnered him Emmy nominations and theater awards. • Set aside a portion of your wardrobe budget on trendy items that may not last forever, but will make your outfits pop while the items are in style. When mixed and matched with your longer-lasting garments, you can create a new and fresh wardrobe. • Once you’ve taken the Schuurmans Farm Supply ned Lawson uses Dryel on-set to refresh clothing quickly.
