Collector Adelaide Milton de Groot, 82, is one of that expatriate generation that produced Baltimore's Gertrude Stein. The pick of her collection, ranging from Delacroix to choice Modiglianis, is on view at Manhattan's Perls Galleries, to benefit the League for Emotionally Disturbed Children.

She succeeded. But stocky, handsome Filippo Napoleone was bored by cardinals as dinner guests. He preferred to drink cocktails and talk to pretty girls in nightclubs. He never went home...
...care what I say to the press," Five & Dime Heiress Barbara Hutton, 45, said to the press as she disembarked in Manhattan. "You used to frighten me. I used to shiver and shake . . . and usually I would say the wrong thing." Unwittingly illustrating her point, she added: "It's most unfortunate that I can't travel with an enchanting young man without all this talk starting!" The enchanting young man: sleek, suave Philip Van Rensselaer, 30, a onetime Manhattan model, aspiring novelist, unwealthy descendant of an old New Amsterdam family.
