...class in the afternoon, then appeared for the evening opening in a simple black sheath topped by a shocking-pink jacket. There was a scattering of celebrities, such as New York's Mayor Robert Wagner, Banker David Rockefeller, Actresses Zsa Zsa Gabor and Beatrice Lillie, and Playbore John Jacob Astor. But in general the crowd was so mousy that one society columnist was reduced to noting that ''one of the smartest dresses was a long wool plaid with jacket, on a nameless lady...

Lyndon Johnson danced with Jackie's mother, Mrs. Hugh D. Auchincloss. Senators Hubert Humphrey and John McClellan, better known for their oratory than for their ballroom skills, jostled about. Equally at ease were such non-Washington types as the Alfred G. Vanderbilts, the Henry Ford IIs, the William Paleys. and Mrs. Gary Cooper...
