...Ambassador Adlai Stevenson as her es cort. After the performance, Jackie went backstage to thank the company, heard one member exult: "She has made our season." Days were devoted to fashion fittings in her suite, with the dresses dis patched through the lobby under canvas by her couturier, Oleg Cassini. Also under wraps: a massive Mr. John hatbox that surely contained Jackie's Easter bonnet. At odd moments during the week, she inspected the art galleries and curio shops that abound about her Madison Avenue hotel, but her only known purchase was an antique French cachepot...
...Siamese mother, China Machado, now 25, worked her way around the world as a Pan Am stewardess and cinemactress, became the top mannequin for Givenchy in Paris at age 21.

Nobody foresaw that through the agency of a constantly diminishing dance floor and a miniature camera all the Wrong People were overnight going to become the Right People...
...easy, understated look favored by Jackie Kennedy, who last week topped the list of the world's twelve best-dressed women.* (She once said that "being a fashion leader is at the very bottom of the list of things I desire.") Oleg Cassini, Jackie's official designer, introduced a figure-following dress with a natural waistline and scoop neckline. "I did not make it for her," said Cassini, "but I think she might enjoy wearing it." Seventh Avenue hopes that Mrs. Kennedy will like the dress and buy it. For if she does, the easy-to-copy dress...
