...work of Christian Dior's little-known, untested Marc Bohan, 34. The Parisian-born son of a modiste, Bohan broke into haute couture in 1945 as an assistant designer at Patou, left Patou in 1958 to work under Dior's Boy Wonder Chief Designer Yves St. Laurent. When St. Laurent, after an unhappy stint in the French army, "retired" from Dior two months ago because of "ill health," Bohan, one of the few married male couturiers in Paris, took over. Few in Paris expected much from his debut, and St. Laurent fans were openly hostile. Admitted...
Apparently convinced that the French army will keep on trying to make a soldier of Yves Saint-Laurent for his full 27-month stint as a draftee, the House of Dior last week named his replacement as the world's most publicized fashion designer: Marc Bohan, 34, in charge of Dior's successful London operation in the past two years. In contrast to Saint-Laurent's extreme, erratic styles, Bohan-first married man and father ever to hold the lofty Dior post-is notable for designing clothes that consistently prove their wearers have bosoms and waists...
Through two previous deferments. Paris' willowy Couturier Yves Saint-Laurent, 24, boy wonder of the House of Dior, has avoided a 27-month draftee hitch in the French army.

On Sept. 1 he will report for his physical examination, presumably soon thereafter be dreaming of furloughs instead of furbelows...
...Spirits. Descendant of a family that settled in Quebec in 1678, businesslike Jean Lesage studied law at Quebec City's Laval University, where he developed into a flowery but effective orator. He was admitted to the bar in 1934 at 22, lost his first case to Louis St. Laurent, the Liberal lawyer who was Canada's Prime Minister from...
...bejeweled cream of Boston, Philadelphia and Palm Beach society. They promenaded-past 35 car parkers, 16 security men and a formally attired plumber and electrician-through the heavily screened men's locker room into the reception room, where 18-year-old Charlotte, blooming in her Yves St. Laurent (white strapless) exclusive, waited with her parents, her Sister Anne, 16, and her kid Brother Edsel. 11. "Daddy," nagged Edsel, "Will they play When the Saints go Marching In?" Henry Ford II hardly cared, kept calling "Mack the Knife" to nobody in particular, and laughed heartily...
