...Dior showed knee-length gaiters (see cut). A Schiaparelli handout gushed: "What could be more heartening to a world in crisis than a face veil tumbled over with roses?" Another Schiaparelli heartener: fire-engine red stockings shouting out from under petticoats that hung six inches below dress hems. Jacques Fath had his own private eccentricity; he slit his narrow skirts up the rear, to a point well above the back of the knees. From the bow, one of his bridal dresses looked as sleek as a racing sloop. Viewed from the stern, with fantail cleft, it looked more like...
...changed their minds. Ranging from $15 to $79.95 retail, the California clothes could hardly compete with Paris' high-priced originals. As one observer said happily: "This is not competition.

Hermès, famed for his sport dresses, featured his low-necked "Boston." Another newcomer, Pierre Balmain, managed to be very chic and comparatively reasonable: his mauve taffeta and tight-skirted black silk evening gown (price: $360) also had long gloves of matching taffeta. Spanish-born, ex-Communist Balenciaga was the only one who went against the mode. The New York Sun's Judy Barden quipped about Balenciaga's conservative collection: "It reminds...
When war came, President Cowling surveyed his faculty for possible military use fulness, struck a surprisingly rich vein : e.g., Astronomer Edward A. Fath, who turned out to be one of the foremost U.S. experts in celestial navigation; Geographer Laurence McKinley Gould, a top-notch map man and navigator who was second in command of Admiral Byrd's first Ant arctic expedition; Physicist Charles...
