 For centuries the world has stead lastly believed that Christopher Colum- bus was an honest dreamer who spent long years boring over charts and maps in an effort to solve the intricate mys- teries of fifteenth century geography, and then, after series of rebuffs, set out to sea under the colors of the Queen of Spain and landed at San Domingo on October 12, 1492.
 The discovery of a new continent being an achievement worthy of recog- milton, even on the part of the most cynical, the name of Columbus has come down through the years a symbol of greatness. Many of the United States have set aside day in honor of the man and what people have always believed his brilliant career. His name is on the tongue of the merest school boy, and he has been immortalized in inspirational verse.
 Yet now, four hundred and thirty eight years after the humble Genoese sailor is said to have landed in the New World. distinguished scholar of world renown has claimed that Columbus was a pirate; he has further claimed that the famed captain of the Santa Maria was neither an idealistic dreamer nor native of Genoa, but instead radical revolutionist and Catalonian.
 Not only that, but the same savant, Professor Luis Ulloa, director of the Peruvian National Library at Lima, stated few weeks ago:
 After eight months of study among Spanish archives in Madrid, where found much hitherto unknown, authen- tic and incontrovertible material, can definitely assert that Columbus paid his first visit to the New World by way of Ireland, Greenland, Labrador and Newfoundland before Americas off cial discovery, indeed before he was in contact with the Spanish King"

If your ensemble is for more
formal wear. you'll find it in
soft, smooth-finiSh fabrics like
suede cloths. If it is not so
formal, it's likely to be of looser
weaves like tweeds-in smooth,
nubby, or flecked patterns. Or OF
wool crepe or covert cloth. And
then of course, there are the
silk crepe and chiffon ensembles,
for wear under your coat now
and without a coat later on
these come in plain colors or
prints or combinations of the two
and they're indeScribably lovely!

Ensemble suits skirts are flat
around the hips, often with yoke
tops. Fullness starts below the
hips, and is obtained through
cores, godets, circular cuts, flares,
and the newly smart pleats.

The suits with short jackets
are adorably youthful-and the
bolero-like lines of the Jackets,
combined with the smooth hip
lines of the skirts beneath, are

more conservatively inclined, the
ensemble suits with three-quarter
or Seven-eighths coats are equally
smart-and the coats of some of
these may be worn as separate
topcoatS, too!
