Upper Class. Carswell's decisions have reflected his close ties to the society in which he lives. As a member in good standing of Tallahassee's ruling class, he seldom misses one of the Cotillion Club's four annual formal dances. The Carswells have four children: two married, two in school, all living in the South. The judge lives on Lake Jackson, putters about his ten acres, plays bridge, and in the fall has a reserved seat at Florida State University football games. Carswell's defenders wonder if, once removed from this parochial atmosphere and faced...
...John Davidson, 23, looks more like a refugee from the senior cotillion than a professional singer. The boy-next-door appearance-dimpled, freshly scrubbed good looks, neon smile and a refreshingly unaffected manner-is precisely what makes him the most promising, fastest-rising graduate of the rock 'n' roll generation. Son of a Baptist minister, Davidson was raised in White Plains, N.Y., came to Manhattan fresh out of Denison University, in quick succession won a supporting role in the musical Foxy, a weekly singing job on CBS-TV's late The Entertainers, and last week...
Wiggiest Kick. No debutante cotillion or country-club dance is complete these days without a heavy dose of rock 'n' roll. At a charity ball on the roof of the St. Regis Hotel, some of Manhattan's highest society wiggled around the dance floor doing the mule, flapping their hands like mules' ears to the thudding beat of Lester Lanin's orchestra. "It's good for your health," says Lanin, who beefs up his society band with a rock 'n' roll trio called the Rocking Chairs...
...beamed the pretty young thing, "I'm Mowena Glunch." Well, she wasn't, of course. She was Inez Chapin Mutton, 18, and she was one of 98 white-gowned young ladies being presented to society at the Debutante Cotillion and Christmas Ball at Manhattan's WaldorfAstoria. The very In thing this year was to introduce yourself to the postdebs and Ivy Leaguers trudging down the reception line as another girl entirely, so everybody had the most awful time sorting out Elizabeth Funston, 18, Virginia Guest, 18, Jocelyn Kress, 18, and Fernanda Kellogg, 18. But then the ritual...
...Multi-Cotillionairess Marguerite Slocum, 18. Since her official launching on the bubbly high seas of society last August at a Newport ball for 700, Marguerite has been presented at the Tuxedo Autumn Ball, the Grosvenor, the First Junior Assembly, is yet to be introduced at the Debutante Cotillion and Christmas Ball, the Second Junior Assembly and the International Ball. Fed to the décolletage with the standard dress for such affairs, Maverick Marguerite set Manhattan lorgnettes snapping when she appeared at the Imperial Ball, not in debutante white but in Jezebel...
