Ever since he drove across the border into Mexico, Dykes Simmons, 38, has had good reason to reflect upon the problems of American suspects abroad. For seven years, while he has sweated out a death sentence in his sun-baked prison cell in Monterrey, the Fort Worth crane operator, now a convicted murderer, has pondered the harsh fact that whatever Mexican law says, an American defendant may well have to prove his innocence in the face of assumed guilt.

The triumphs, when they are turned out, reflect both the high level of tailoring now common in feminine fashion and the trim figures of today's health-conscious women.
