...Elaine candidly admits, though she plans to do her job conscientiously while it lasts. "I'm not just going to be a stick of furniture. I aim to be on hand to represent the state and vote when I'm expected to." Tough and talkative, the new Ms. Senator considers herself more liberal than the conservative Ellender, though she remains a hawk on the war. She is decidedly cool to McGovern, as is her husband, who turned down an invitation to meet the Democratic nominee after Ellender's funeral...

The average age of the Ms. who makes her own clothes has dropped in the past few years from 47 to 23. Surveys show that 85% of all teen-age girls now sew. Many of them, like Sharon Sikora of Oak Lawn, Ill., do so for the obvious reason: "I want clothes that are different." Home economics classes, long known for their "horrible aprons and dumb blouses" (as one graduate put it), now feature smarter getups, from pantsuits to prom gowns...
