...wags. Or was it a mixture of "the Mosque of St. Athanase, in Egypt," plus "the temple of Apollinop-olis at Etfou?" Cincinnati citizens, who watched it abuilding in 1829 didn't know what the devil it was-except that it was to be named "Trollope's Bazaar" and to supply high-priced fancy goods and foreign culture. But "every rogue within cheating distance" was working on it for the nutty British owner, 49-year-old Mrs. Frances Trollope.

...syndicate was even more annoyed and upset than Harper's Bazaar. It accused Vogue of breaking by three weeks a "gentlemen's agreement" on the fashion release date, indignantly described the action as "a moral abuse of confidence." What worried the French designers was the prospective loss of thousands of dollars' worth of business: they were afraid that U.S. designers would flood the U.S. market with copies before their originals could make the boat. At week's end, the syndicate had reportedly decided on a stern punishment: banning Editor Jessica Daves of the American edition...
