Other Plans. Only three hours earlier, Jack Kennedy had kissed his wife and daughter goodbye and flown off again to Palm Beach. The three had spent a relaxed Thanksgiving Day together with just one guest, Friend and Neighbor William Walton. The baby was not due for another month. But before Jack was halfway back to Florida that night, his wife had a hemorrhage, and the baby made it unmistakably clear that it had other plans...

Hostess Janet Desrosiers rushed back with the message to Jack Kennedy's rear compartment. As he emerged from the plane, Kennedy was told that his wife was in the hospital.

So rhapsodized Pants Internationale last week in Los Angeles at a showing of California designs for 78 fashion editors from all over the U.S. Indeed, pants plain and fancy were being worn everywhere. The newest pants, stretch-pants adapted from European ski suits for the beach and living room, are so tight they have stretched the word slacks out of shape.
