...better on girls, Jenny Bell thinks, when she shapes them into evening gowns. As for her transformed kikois, this year, like last, the styles will vary only slightly-some are sleeveless, some two-piece, some shifts and some full-length. But though every kikoi has a border and a sunburst or some scroll work in the middle, the material of each is unique. Most come inscribed with a message in Swahili, and the girl who cares enough to dig up an interpreter may find she is advertising "Love Is like Grass." For as little as $29.95, presto! A walking fortune...

French Troubadour Yves Montand has a bedroom voice in a truck driver's body. His throaty baritone undresses every noun, verb and parenthetical clause that comes slithering past his lips. With hips cocked, eyes squinted against some inner sunburst of passion, and hands expressively molding the air, Montand is one of the most potent love potions ever poured across the footlights.
