...women being swindled out of $1,000,000 a year in the guise of fashion? How gullible can women be to part with so much money for these clothes and consider themselves fashionably clothed. It reminds me of the children's story about the Emperor's New Clothes. (MRS.) CAROL A. COOGAN Somerset...
Though both Kansas City papers virtually ignored the affair, it did not go unnoticed by Mrs. Helen Dow, 61, and her friend Mrs. Virginia McCray, 45.

At its heart, however, the play is a Grecian urn of tears, an incomparably moving lament for all who die young in war. Directed...
Once the two women appear on the scene, they dominate the play perceptibly and strike plangent chords of passion and pity. Clytemnestra is the first to learn of her raddled husband's purpose. She spews at him the clotted venom of years of pent-up hate in a bad marriage; yet what chokes her spirit is anguish for her child...
