All 3 run to pull out a chair for her to sit down at the table as she arrives with her chaperons. All of the sudden the men notice Barbara Eden and all 3 stand up and seemingly cannot catch their breath. WOW! She is dressed to the hilt, showing every curve to its advantage for the men causing them to gawk and drool or disadvantage for the 3 married females causing them to seethe with envy and turn green with jealously. She is the gorgeous and young Barabara Eden. Just at that exact moment their friends arrive with their 'homely' niece. The women that include Lucy, Ethyl and Betty Ramsey demand that they stay as it is way too early to leave. This prompts the 3 married men to want to leave early. Well, the 3 married couples arrive and the friends with the assumed homely niece are a few minutes late. The show starts with Ricky and Fred and another husband of Lucy's new friend 'not' wanting to attend a dance because they do not like to wear tuxedo's and do not want to 'have' to dance with their friend's niece that they assume to be very homely ( do not forget what your grade school teacher taught you about the word assume, more about that word assume later). Lucy with her tall charm that got her into the Ziegfield Follies and Barabra Eden with her brick outhouse built. Lucy with her slap stick comedy that no other female comedian could get away with (except maybe Carol Burnett years later) and Barabara Eden with her beauty and naiveté. Here we have two of the planet's pleasing personalities.
