Looking for a novel published in the 1950's or 1960's.  It's set in
Manhattan and Saratoga Springs.  The plot revolves around a husband
and wife who own a modeling agency.  The wife is a former model
herself.  The other main characters are a model and an aspiring
writer.
Ideally I'd like to find the book itself, but would be happy with the
title and author.

If you can recall any additional details, please post them for us.
Sometimes even a tiny clue can lead to an answer. Particularly helpful
would be the names of the lead characters or the name of the modeling
agency.

I'm afraid I don't remember any character names. The plot details I
can dredge up -- husband and buddy were in the Army together; husband
and wife have children (twins, I think); they all go up to Saratoga
for a magazine shoot.  Writer is working on a book, but freelancing as
a journalist.

I think the couple may have been based on the Ford Agency, and Eileen
and Jerry Ford, but don't think they would have actually been
mentioned in the book.
