Modern research has now overcome that obstacle with powerful new electromagnets. Chilled to -450° F. by a jacket of liquid helium, their coils become superconductive. As the temperature approaches absolute zero ( - 459.7° F.), internal resistance to electrical currents virtually disappears. Even a slight pulse of electricity will keep currents flowing in the coils for indefinite lengths of time. Except for the electricity needed to refrigerate the helium, strong magnetic fields could thus be created in superconductors with a minimal use of power...

Chanel modified the shape of her suits with a bolero or cutoff blazer jacket, cropped and V-necked. Nina Ricci's Gerard Pipart kept his daytime clothes straight and simple, took a giant steppe to Russia with evening wear that featured fur Cossack hats, officers' coats, boyar pants (Russian-style knickers) and gypsy dresses.
