President Kennedy flung wide the French doors of his office, stepped out into the spring twilight, inhaled deeply. The fresh scent of thick bluegrass and moist earth, the sight of grape hyacinth bordering the flower garden (which has been replanted by a new White House gardener), the hues of cherry blossoms and forsythia across the yard made him smile. Off to his right. Caroline's swings and slides lent a touch of outdoor domesticity. Said the President, with an expansive wave: "Look at that. Isn't it great?"

Women get the most excitement. Some of them shriek or faint when they find a tiny diamond...

Most popular in straw, they come in every possible fabric from linen to leopard, can be made to look entirely new by a switch in ribbon color or the substitution of feather for flower. They are firm enough to hold their own high shape, are better even than the bouffant hairdo; nothing, neither wind nor compact car, is likely to flatten them or leave them bedraggled...
