Looking back, he catches a glimpse of his wife, trim in her Bogner ski pants, carrying her Italian boots out to her M.G. He notices she is wearing only a cashmere sweater, and he hopes she remembers her Russian sable jacket for her trip to the ski slopes. The memory of her French perfume haunts him on his trip into town, and he toys with the idea of buying her a South African diamond as a surprise...

...machines." Decorating his figures are gizmos from his large assortment of "found objects," which he picks up in the antique shops around St. Louis' Gaslight Square. A brace of oxygen tanks perches on the shoulders of the center figure, while a shower nozzle, stainless-steel tubing and a ski cable festoon the fronts of the other two. The apparatus eerily suggests scuba gear, gas masks, or an astronaut's breathing equipment-items necessary, in Trova's view, to habilitate man for "an alien atmosphere...
