Had French sign-painters been entirely truthful, they would have labeled their side- door Pullmans "40 Hommes ou 8 Chevaux et 1 Homme," for a single homme was always sent along as nursemaid to the horseflesh within. I happen to know. As a member of one of the American cavalry units that saw service in France, I was supposed to be well enough acquainted with horses to get them safely from point to point. I was expected to feel special solicitude for the beast King Richard once of- fered his kingdom for. Unfortunately the beast showed little inclination to return this courtesy. My sacred eight went into their freight-car at Le Valdahon, a permanent French camp which our army officials had made into a huge remount depot. I supervised their loading, myself tied the halter-shanks to keep their heads up. That night when I rolled up in my blankets, with hoofs to both sides of me and shaggy bellies obstructing my view of the car's ceiling, I felt that the animals had been secured beyond pos- sibility of release. A few hours later an inquisitive muzzle nudged my own. Speedily I got to my feet and struck a light. Every one of my charges had managed to get loose. Most of them were hud- dled together at one end of the car, in utter dis- regard of army regulations. One lone animal stood by himself, quaking at the motion of the train, uncertain how to brace himself without the support of the halter-shank. How they had managed to walk over and around my extended legs without treading on me, I am still to learn. I spent the remainder of that night in a rest- less effort to straighten out my double quartet. Boards to which they had been tied had broken loose. Ropes as well as horses' tempers (and my own) seemed to have grown shorter. By the time we reached Treveray, our destination, I was fit to be tethered {Continued on page 58) APRIL, 1938 I — ; - (fforQodandcountry ,u>e associate ourselves togetherjor thefollowing purposes: £7o uphold and defend the Constitution, *Jofthe UnitedStates ofAmerica; to maintain law and order; tofosterandperpetuate a one hundredpercent (7lmericanism topreserve the memories and incidents ofour association in theQreajTWar; to inculcate a sense of'indh^ual obligation to the com- classes munity, state andnation; to combat the autocracy ofboth the andthe masses; to make right the master ofmight; topromote peace andgood ivitton earth ;to safguardand transmit to posterity the principles ofjusticefreedom and democracy; to conse- crate andsanctify our comradeship bu our devotion to mutual hekfulness.— Preamble to the Constitution ofThe American Legion. — Htie Jim eric an April, VoL No 1938 I - 24 > - * MAGAZINE^ O Published Monthly by The American Legion, 455 West 22d Street, Chicago, Illinois EXECUTIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES jVi&fiSSRt EDITORIAL AND ADVERTISING OFFICES St. Indianapolis, Indiana MlKs^wl 15 West 48th , New York City GORDON BALDWIN of CONTENTS honest-to-goodness American gobs TOAlbany, Georgia, we are in- COVER DESIGN wearing full beards.

BOMAR SHIRLEY P. FOSTER A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of General Human Environmental Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Lindsay Danielle Reaves 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The world of twenty-first-century fashion evolves into new forms at a more rapid pace when compared with clothing developments of the past. Elements of previous fashion trends are constantly recycled into new clothing to appease the public’s cravings. But, to whom does the public look for fashion inspiration? According to the “trickle-down” theory proposed by Simmel (1904) and Sproles (1985), the lower classes turn to the upper classes to find out what styles are in vogue at the moment. Although emulation of upper-class fashions appears to have been happening for some time, it seems fashion inspiration was “kicked into high gear” with the glamorous effects and global outreach of American Hollywood cinema, beginning in the 1930s. When the American film industry boomed in the first half of the twentieth century, actors became the inspiration for fashion as well. The glamour exuding from the Hollywood films produced during the 1930s inspired and influenced the clothing choices of the American public. Well-known costume designers such as Gilbert Adrian, Edith Head, Travis Banton, Howard Greer, Walter Plunkett, and Orry-Kelly designed costumes and personal clothing for many Hollywood leading ladies.
