Last week her column reappeared with the byline shortened from "Austine Cassini" to just plain "Austine." As the Times-Herald did not bother to explain, Austine ("Bootsie") Cassini had married William Randolph Hearst Jr.-and she did not think she should trade on his name...

Society Reporter Igor Cassini (Hearst's Cholly Knickerbocker) and his new wife (Elizabeth Darrach Waters) walked into their suite and found it occupied by Cassini's ex-wife ("Bootsie" McDonnell-also a columnist), who had been ushered in by mistake. (They compromised on adjoining suites.) Kaiser-Frazer's Joe Frazer and Otis & Co.'s Cyrus Eaton, currently feuding over K-F's stock troubles, spent the time...
