extol the fruits of the spirit. Prepar-

Art of Creation mo “ s d ^ s , s '
maker finds
that Americans are too much given
to money-grubbing to appreciate the
beautiful art of couture. “The Paris
designer is free,” she says, but here
in America “in creating a costume
you must think about cost.” So she’s
going back to Paris where art' is
unfettered and nobody worries about
money.
Molyneux fled, to make gowns in
London, but Lucien Lelong, the new
Judge Landis of the French fash
ion industry, remains in the service
of art—not money of course. The
latter implication might suggest
that Paris as a continuing world
style center is somehow geared into
Chancellor Hitlers jug - handled
economy, and that, of course is a
rather gauche idea. In Herr Hitler’s
new order, it’s art for art’s sake.
Soon after the occupation of
Paris, Mme. Schiaparelli ar
rived here to begin a national
lecture tour. We seemed to be
suffering from much misappre
hension about France. It was
business as usual in Paris, and
anyone who fancied that New
York might become the world
< style center had another thought
; coming. However, she reserved
her apostrophe of art against
money for the last.
- Addressing the v Junior League of
Los Angeles recently, she said:/
“All of us in Paris are impressed
by the generosity of American men
regarding their women. American
men have a world-wide reputation
for the money they spend on women.
“I say bravo to you! Go right
ahead.”
I had an idea that the French felt
that way a few years ago when I
was • privileged to see some of the
inner workings of Lanvin’s estab
lishment in Paris, to talk to the
vendeuses and witness the defer
ence to a Texas oil magnate, when
he earner in to help his wife choose
a gov^n. ,
Mme. Schiaparelli lived five years
in New York. Her daughter, Ma-
risa, was born in her Ninth street
house in Greenwich Village. That
was befdre the days of her fame
and opulence, and" she thought about
money a great deal in those days.
Taking an unheated flat in
Patchin place, a dingy little nub
bin of a street off Jefferson Mar
ket court, she found a $20 bill
on the floor. It was a good
omen. Other money came and
she returned to a garret in Par
is, to write poetry. A sweater
design brought her into her ca
reer. For one who scorns mon
ey she is a masterful and dili
gent business woman, her huge
establishment turning out around
10,000 garments a year at prices
up to $5,000. Of a distinguished
Italian family of astronomers
and scholars, she has been de
scribed by Edna Le Fevre as
“a woman nobody can know, ab
sorbed with books on metaphys
ics, aesthetics and philosophy.”

happened to be a self-starter and
finisher. Without benefit of any ac
ademic seminars, he became a hay
loft radio inventor. This, incidental
ly, was in the Bronx where there
weren’t any haylofts; but make it
a cellar and the result is the same.
After 32 years he appears with
his critically important inven
tion. He got * job with a wire
less station in Sacramento, and
was soon throwing his voice far
ther than anybody else in those
parts. He later worked with Lee
De Forrest and by 1932 had
brought through a “cold light”
radio tube. He started work on
his jet expulsion or “rocket”
motor four years ago. Engi
neers say it may increase the
speed of fighting planes by 20€
miles an hour.
Power for Defense
The newest and best of the U. S. medium bombers is B-26, shown
here taking off (above), and in the air (below), during a test flight at
Baltimore, Md. Product of the Glenn L. Martin factory at Baltimore,
this high performance dealer of destruction will soon be rolling off the
production lines at mass production rate.

1 UCILLE BALL cut* a three-
storied wedding cake for her
friends and tossed her bouquet
to the ladies who attended the
reception she and Desn Arnaz
gave before departing for Holly
wood and more work at the RKO
Radio studios. It wasn’t exactly
a wedding bouquet, since the
reception was what might be
called delayed.
Their elopement startled prac
tically everybody; the general opin
ion had been that their romance was
one of those things that are cooked
up for the sake of sweet publicity.
It’s reported that even the studio
was surprised. You can see the
honeymooning couple in “Too Many
Girls.”
These publicity stunts—“angles”
is the name for them—are the bane
of a press agent’s life. For exam
ple, if a movie star is arriving in
New York it’s up to her press agent
to think up something that will sound
reasonable enough to land the story
of her coming, with photographs, on
the front pages of the newspapers.
Sometimes the stories are true, of
course—but it’s usually the syn
thetic ones that get the most space.
When Linda Darnell arrived in
New York recently she got a fine
press reception. She announced to
reporters that she was allergic to
