...stores and dress shops last week just as the first pictures of Paris' new creations blossomed forth in the magazines. The contrast was startling. Many of the French styles seemed outlandish to the American eye. Jacques Fath offered maternity-like tent coats ("the green cone"); Balenciaga suits had elbow cuffs like parachutes. One Schiaparelli model looked like an oldtime Bloomer Girl (see cut) in an evening gown consisting of a short halter and harem-type underskirt.

The Senate-House rewrite version should prohibit...

He told how to buy surplus property under one set of rules, get the rules changed, then sell the goods for a $425,000 profit...
