...Laurent's lean, leggy line is a canny blending of swashbuckle and swank known as the "Robin Hood Look." Into a Sherwood Forest setting enhanced by a pair of real copper beech trees trooped the svelte St. Laurent mannequins-all bundled up in shirts, jerkins, tunics, dark knitted hose and seven-league boots. A big hit of the collection was a costume consisting of tight pants, mid-thigh-length boots and a hair seal pullover, with a Robin Hood hat and chained pendant. Pageboy hairdos were common...

They do calisthenics to keep in shape, and to while away the days, they paint, write letters and read (translations of Sherwood Anderson, Rousseau, Hemingway).

In the past, that climate had nurtured the talents of such innovators as Sullivan, Wright and Mies van der Rohe, Frank Norris (The Octopus), Sherwood Anderson (Winesburg, Ohio), Carl Sandburg, James T.
