Fashion Parade: Congress Wives Curtsy To Past A unique fashion parade in the capital, as the wives of the nation's legislators portray the great ladies of bygone eras in authentic reproductions of original costumes, outside the Jefferson Memorial. Car pulls up in front of Jefferson Memorial. Four male photographers aim their cameras. Women show clothing from past eras. Mrs. William Fulbright in 1800s (Jacksonian era) dress. Mrs. Edmund Muskie in Eleanor Roosevelt-style dress., Mrs. Frank Church and Miss Nancy Gore (is this Al's sister? Seems likely - that is, Al Gore Jr's sister, Al Gore Sr's daughter) wear 1800s dresses with full hoop skirts and off-the-shoulder necklines. Mrs. William Foxmire (?) in 1910s attire; she adjusts her lace gloves.
