...sort of day that has made Morocco a magnet for Western tourists. A hot sun blazed over Skhirat, where King Hassan II's rambling white summer palace is set amid oaks, poplars and eucalypti beside the Atlantic, and cooling breezes wafted in from the ocean. By Moslem custom, no women guests were present for the King's 42nd birthday party. But among the 500 male guests were ambassadors, generals and ministers. There were also the royal shirtmaker, shoemaker and tailor (all Italians), and four physicians (three French and one Austrian), who were in Morocco to give Hassan...
...Commenting on the absence of husband, father, in-laws, friends and flowers, one of Talitha's acquaintances mumbled, "She wouldn't want us to do something so uselessly sad." ··· Cutting in on other people's dancing partners is an old, usually honored American custom. Not so in Britain, as Lord Snowdon, husband to Princess Margaret, unwittingly proved at a party thrown by Canned Food King HJ. Heinz II. Seeing the alluring 42-year-old Countess of Westmorland dancing with Peter Cazalet, a trainer of the royal horses, Snowdon tried to cut in. Snapped Cazalet...
Police Badge. Hollywood boasts a shop, the Liquid Butterfly, that specializes in the custom patching of jeans. Owner Charlotte Stewart says she is "trying to get people to recycle their clothes.

That assignment took about 30 hours and cost the owner $65. The buyer, she notes...
...Angeles. Many of the devoted Sabbath worshipers are in fact ordinary young Jewish Americans, thoroughly the children of their secular culture. They come from homes where Hebrew is virtually unknown, where the Sabbath is observed only perfunctorily if at all, where a kosher kitchen is only a half-remembered custom sometimes dusted off for Pass over. Precisely for that reason, these Jews come to the Brandeis Institute, a unique American institution dedicated to making secular Jews both better Jews and better citizens. This week the institute begins its 31st summer session with the first wave of about 500 youngsters...
...really the operative word for the new Saturday Evening Post, which is back on the nation's newsstands this week as a $1-a-copy quarterly. Antique is more accurate, right down to the custom re-created headline type used by the Post in the 1930s and '40s. In format and much of its content, this is the homey, comfortable, non-controversial old Post of Ben Hibbs, not the later, slicker version which piled up some $500 million in libel suits as a result of its "sophisticated muckraking" and finally perished in 1969 from a combination of advertising...
