...Bambi began weeping-silently, with tears spilling down her face-during the wedding," wrote Columnist Nancy Randolph. "After she kissed her earl, she placed her head on his shoulder and cried openly." Then the lord led his dewy-eyed lady to the dining room so that they could cheer each other with toasts of champagne. On the wall was a painting of the exact spot in the garden where the marriage had just taken place. Noticing it, the fairy godmother took it down and presented it to the couple as a wedding gift...

Skirts went from six inches above the knee (often worn with thigh-high boots) to mid-shin to ankle length (in some cases worn with frilly pantaloons).

I myself like to understand "chair" (which was pronounced "cheer" then), with which "disseat" makes perfect sense. Houseman too settles on "chair" but follows it up with "unseat," which is obviously not acceptable...
From Paris last week came an economic prognosis likely to cheer business men on both sides of the Atlantic. It was a 90-page report from the experts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Its gist: the down days for Western economies are about over...
