THE COVER
- This enraptured lass is going to attend a ball, and here she is having a preliminary ball trying on thirteen gowns before deciding to buy the first one. Her mother, also a member of the shopping gender, isn’t having a bad time either. So we come to father, who is wiling away his time reading. Maybe he is a chemist, interested in directions on the tag about how to take care of this new noniron, supersynthetic raiment, or maybe he’s a mathematician, absorbed in the numbers that follow the dollar sign. In the latter event, ah well, he who loves his womenfolk dearly is apt to find their clothes priced dearly. Artist Kurt Ard says that if you wonder how anybody can dance in very high-heeled shoes, a young girl at a ball doesn’t dance—she floats. O.K., then how does she float?
