Chapter VIII
Tim Reese, for that was the
name of the man in the wheel
chair, had been sketching from his
early days on a ranch in Califor
nia, but never with any idea of
sketching women’s clothes, He
would have abhorred any such
idea if it had occurred to him.
After college, he sketched his
way into an architect’s office in
New York City. There, the war
had found him and, after a pre
liminary workout in the early Ital
ian campaign, where he achieved
the eminence of Private, First
Class, dumped him on the beaches
of Normandy.
He survived the first sweep of
the invasion only to be machine
gunned by a single, crazy strafing
plane on a lonely and ancient road
a hundred miles inland. Since then
he had spent his years in hospital
beds and wheel chairs,
He was angry that first day he
opened his eyes in a field hospital
in France, and he had been angry
ever since. He was angry at a
world that had maimed him and
discarded him. The passing of
time brought him no philosophy
of patience or acceptance. He
stayed angry.
Other men in the hospitals
found diversion and usefulness in
study, in writing, in woodworking,
in making gadgets, in weaving, in
knitting, even. But not he. His
angry made him defiant of any
small substitute for a full, normal
and happy life. He had no faith
and no hope. He saw himself
doomed to a wheel chair for life.
Early in that year, he had read
of a doctor in Boston wha was hav
ing some success treating his form
of paralysis with surgery. The
staff of the hospital was skeptical
about the treatment but Tim
clutching at any straw in his des
pair, wrote to the doctor.
The doctor offered to perform
the operation without charge. Tim
would have to come to Boston. He
would need money for travel and
for the hospital. But he had no
money. The operation, his only
gleam of hope, small though it
was, he would have to give up.
One morning, going through a
pile of miscellaneous magazines a
nurse had brought to his bedside,
he happened to come across a
fashion magazine. He glanced
through the glossy and glamorous
pages. Styles, it seemed to him,
were affectations dreamt up by
fops and sold by fakers.
Yet, he mused as he looked at
the magazine, fashion was obvi
ously a highly profitable busines.
People paid money for those de
signs, there was no question about
that. Why shouldn’t he try to cut
himself in on some of the profits?
His legs were useless but his
arms were free and he could sit
in bed or in his wheel chair and
sketch. Straightway, he got him
self some pencils, paper and paints
and went to work. Men, he con
soled himself, had been charlatans
with less cause.
* * *
Almost immediately, he discov
ered designing was not as easy
and superficial as he thought.
First, he discovered he did not
know much about the human body.
He borrowed books from staff
physicians and began to study ana
tomy, training himself to draw in
simple lines the play of sinew,
joint and muscle.
Then, he discovered he knew
'next to nothing of materials and
ornamentation. He wrote to fifty
‘places for samples and soon his
'room began to look as if the piece
goods and costume jewelry coun
ters of a departmenf store had
'dumped their discards there.
Finally, he discovered that
styles had to be adapted to whims
and needs, hours and seasons, and
that the modes changed constant
ly and no one could surely predict
the direction and extent of the

change. He studied, reflected,‘
dreamed, and set himself the task
of creating a design that would
be fundamentally sound and still
have novelty and allure.
He worked for months and drew
hundreds of sketches before he hit
on one that pleased him. That was
the one he sent in the spring to
Jean Paul. He had picked Jean
Paul out of the directory on an
impulse. Jean Paul, the German
romanticist, had been a favorite
of his in college.
9 9"
He had no wish to be known as
a woman’s clothes designer. Nor
did he care to run the risk of be
coming the laughing stock of the
hospital. So he signed “Teresa”
and gave General Delivery as his
address.
The name_ Teresa was made up
of T, the initial letter of +his first
name, and Reese, his last name,
with an “a” added. Thus, T-Reese
a became Teresa. Midge was the
only one in on the secret.
This was Tim’s story, as he told
it to Jean. She had found a chair
and they were sitting face to face
in the sunlight not far from the
clump of trees.
“Of course, now as I sit here
looking at you, designing women’s
clothes seems like a noble calling
indeed. In fact, it was the simple
sight of you that persuaded me to
let the secret out.” He grinned,
but the cheerlessness in his eyes
belied the grin. “If I didn’t know
better, I'd feel sorry 1 gave the
calling up.”
Jean Roland was immediately
concerned. “You don’t mean you've
given up designing for good?”
He couldn’t do that, Jean
thought. The gown shop of Jean
Paul—herself and Paul Panciera—
couldn’t get along without Teresa.
