...Angeles and New York, to disgorge bevies of international beauties every bit as dazzling as any courtesan painted by Watteau or Fragonard. Their names tumbled out of Burke 's Peerage, the Almanack de Gotha and the Social Register. From London, there was the Maharajah and Maharani of Jaipur, Lady Astor, and the young dandy Lord Lichfield; from Madrid, Count and Countess de Romanones-Quintanilla, and from Rome, Donna Allegra Caracciolo. Paris sent Princess Peggy d'Arenberg and Dubonnet-Maker André Dubonnet; from Manhattan flew Marylou Whitney (with a sequined bee on her bonnet), along with Newport...
