The President put it unobtrusively aside, and then for a quarter of an hour mulled aloud from a few notes on "how much we still need the men and women educated in the liberal...

And Hiram Sherman brings the suave relish of a Kentucky colonel to the role of Pandarus...
...blue and roses only if they bloom on fabrics instead of bushes. Fur and crocheted collars are conspicuous, as are capes: Eleanora Garnett smocks them for daytime, Fontana cuts them in satin and velvet for evening, Faraoni makes sleeves of them for narrow dresses. Romantic, richly worked evening gowns slink to floor length, Gattinoni's narrow satin gowns come with heavily beaded apron fronts, and Top Designer Micol Fontana offers a blue velvet ball gown with gold embroidery spilling over the skirt. Fontana, whose colors include something called "adoration red," says of the new line...
