Women call men for dates now-and fairly often share the expenses or pick up the tabs. At business lunches women used to resort to elaborate subterfuges-paying the check on the way to the ladies' room, or even slipping the money under the table to a male guest so that he could seem to pay the bill. Now men no longer seem mortified by having women pay. With a certain bonhomie, a man may demand of a woman: "Are you buying...
...focus is on a pair of "the Rubens, made of sensitized Fablon as used on Apollo space missions." The breastworks are delivered to one Connie Wicksteed, who looks so like a choirboy that the errant local curate has fallen in love with her. Connie lives in the genteel resort town of Hove with her brother Arthur, a G.P. specializing in lechery, his wife Muriel, a lady endowed with Jane Russell proportions, and a cleaning woman who is a victim of overexposure to modern communication: "I'm now going into the lotus position."

Also known as bagettes and bicycle bags, the minis were first shown with the fall resort-wear collections in Manhattan and Paris. The mini with the most has been Paris-based Kenzo's design. Made of suede, leather or printed cotton, Kenzo's flat half-circle with a snap-down flap has sold millions in copies by Miller, Pappagallo and others. A made-in-Colombia macrame necklace pouch by Kathy McKeany ($5) is expected to be a sellout when it reaches stores across the country this week. More ornate minis include Bagatelle Creations' snakeskin square with...
