Dolores (Ziegfeld girl)

Dolores or Rose Dolores (born Kathleen Rose; 1893 or 1894 – 7 November 1975) was the first celebrity clothes model and has been credited with inventing the "blank hauteur" of the modern fashion model.Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. called her "The loveliest showgirl in the world". She was known for her commanding stage presence and became the star of the Ziegfeld Follies from 1917 until her retirement in 1923. She lived the rest of her life in Paris and during the Second World War helped Allied airmen escape the German occupation.

Early life

Kathleen Rose was born in Wimbledon, near London, in 1893 or 1894. Her father was Harry Rose (born Northleigh, Oxfordshire), a former police officer, and her mother was Helen or Ellen ("Nellie") Rose (born Vauxhall, London), a dressmaker. Kathleen had a sister, Eva A. Rose, born around 1890. Newspaper reports say that Kathleen was born into poverty and in the 1901 British census, Harry is shown without occupation. In the 1911 return he is marked as "Paralized 20 years". The family had two boarders and a visitor living with them at the time of the 1901 census when they were at 61 Russell Road, Wimbledon. Kathleen was not living with her parents at the time of the 1911 census.

Heiden, Switzerland

Heiden is a municipality in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden in Switzerland. Its Biedermeier village around the church square is listed as a heritage site of national significance.

History

Heiden is first mentioned in 1461 as guot genant Haiden.

Around 1650 Wolfhalden and Heiden could not agree about the control over the church. This led to the creation of a church in each village in 1652, making them independent.

The founder of the Red Cross, Henry Dunant, spent his last years in Heiden. The former president of the ICRC, Jakob Kellenberger, was also born in Heiden.

Geography

Heiden has an area, as of 2006, of 7.5 km² (2.9 sq mi). Of this area, 52.4% is used for agricultural purposes, while 30.6% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 16.8% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (0.3%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).

The municipality is located in the former District of Vorderland on the Kurzenberg. It consists of the village of Heiden and several hamlets near the village.

Heiden (Shinto)

A heiden (幣殿, offertory hall) is the part within a Shinto shrine's compound used to house offerings. It normally consists of a connecting section linking the honden (sanctuary, closed to the public) to the haiden (oratory). If the shrine is built in the Ishi-no-ma-zukuri style, its stone pavement is lower than the floor of the other two rooms, and it is called ishi-no-ma (石の間, stone room), hence the name. It can also be called chūden (中殿) or in other ways, and its position can sometimes vary. In spite of its name, nowadays it is used mostly for rituals.
