...concert today, it is often the audience that strikes up the overture. It is a kind of barnyard symphonette. The Hummer and the Time Beater serve as the rhythm section; the Cellophane Crinkler and the Program Rattler handle the solos. In the percussion section, the principal performers are the Bracelet Jangler and the Premature Clapper, while special effects are contributed by the Knuckle Cracker and the Watch Wind er. The Coughers' Chorale is directed by the Dry-Throated, Red-Nosed Hacker, whose feeblest lead always gets a resounding antiphonal response. The entire performance is choreographed by Fidgeter, produced...
...kept the whole glittering Golconda-the 51-carat diamond ring, the Sarah Bernhardt bracelet, the seven-strand baroque pearls and all the rest -stashed in a Hattie Carnegie dress box camouflaged with old lingerie under the bed. When the horrified insurance company protested, nonagenarian Cosmetics Czarina Helena Rubinstein had the jumble of jewels packed up in manila envelopes and squirreled away under E for emeralds and R for rubies in a locked filing cabinet.

The fabled rulers and scourges of Persia-Cyrus the Great, Darius the Great, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan-are dust. But a woman's bronze bracelet, a golden goblet, a statue of an ibex with circleted horns remain to testify to the enduring victory that art wins over time...
Mostly, she lies around sopping up sun in a bracelet or maybe some sunglasses. And occasionally she even slips into a minuscule peekini swim suit. It's just that buff looks best on Brigitte Bardot, 29. But when a cameraman dropped in by invitation at her rented beach house near Rio, Brigitte pulled on a striped T shirt, tight and faded blue jeans and above-the-knee boots, just the getup for a tropical beach scene. And the result was practically chichi. Her two-month seclusion with Playboy-friend Bob Zagury seems to have agreed with...
