I hear there is even a French word for a sport coat / jacket worn only to a mid/late afternoon garden party in the late spring but no other time of year . . .  Mars, the Bringer of War Venus, the Bringer of Peace Mercury, the Winged Messenger Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age Uranus, the Magician Neptune, the Mystic THE WOODMAN- Lineal descendent of the Venus of Willendorf sculptor . . . | ||
