But they and a host of other high-fashion folks leaped at the chance to dress Snoopy and his sister Belle. The world’s favorite beagle is-cele- brating his 40th birthday with a ret rospective at the Louvre’s Musee des Arts Decoratifs where his creator, Charles Schulz, received the Medal for Arts et Lettres from the French Ministry of Culture. Part of the exhibition is “Snoopy in Fashion,” some 300 plush dogs dressed by some of the world’s top designers. Although the anniversary of Schulz’ First “Peanuts” comic strip doesn’t roll around until Oct. 2, Snoopy and Belle started celebrating early. They are at the Louvre until April 22. Then they travel to Tokyo in May and to Los Angeles in October. Violinist Bell to perform Wednesday Violinist Joshua Bell will per form a five-composition recital at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Rudder Auditorium as a presentation of the MSC Opera and Performing Arts Society.
