Mistaken Maxim. Lesage's smashing victory made him a hot national property for the Liberals in Ottawa, particularly since the party historically alternates its leadership between French-speaking and English-speaking Canadians. Current Liberal Leader Lester Pearson, who took over from French Canadian Louis St. Laurent, is working hard to topple the five-month-old minority government of Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and to force new elections.

Squaring his narrow shoulders, St. Laurent opened his own house last season to mixed notices. But this year, bravos came...
...With St. Laurent's elevation to the ranks of the fashion greats, the Big Two (Balenciaga and Givenchy) became Three. The fall fashion trends: more fur (on cuffs, collars, scarves and hoods); jewel shades of color (garnet, topaze and turquoise) along with the not-so-new fruit and flower tones (fuchsia, heather, plum and black currant); opulent fabrics (heavily worked brocade, beaded silk and lace).
