- The Cover — One of the salesladies is rejoicing, “Ah, monsieur must have decided it just for you!” So is the other saleslady. If both clients succumb to this routine, let’s hope they depart without discovering that monsieur evidently had both of them on his mind, and that they don’t wind up in the same parade on Easter morning. If that multiple hat strikes you as a weirdy, blame it on Constantin Alajalov, eminent designer of millinery and Post covers. Originally he decided on a fairly sane little cloche constructed of flaming blooms and emerald foliage. But then, suffering an attack of pernicious creativity, he enlarged it into a leaning tower, stuck on a what-is-it flower, and added vines to flap in the breeze. Creation, like strong drink, can run away with a man.
