...India, Jackie rode a 35-year-old elephant named Bibi, shrank against Prime Minister Nehru in ladylike horror while watching a mongoose battle a cobra (see cut), saw a polo match and cleared jumps on a horse. Before she left, Air-India presented her with twin tiger cubs: the problem of what to do with them was solved when they died...
...Charlie. Jackie donned jodhpurs for a few jumps on a horse named Princess. Her ride was flawless, but an embarrassed Indian officer was thrown.

Billed as a distant relative to Dante's Beatrice, she had an answer for women who asked the stock question: "How did it feel to be kissed by Valentino?" Said she: "He was a real heman, but the poor darling had myopia. On him, the squint looked...
