...night, emotions ran high. Tears and cheers for the music made for a loud, if damp, ovation. At the end of the première, Bernstein wept helplessly as the audience thundered its applause, then launched into a marathon fit of kissing everyone in reach. "May I kiss you one more time?" he asked Rose Kennedy. Said Rose gently; "I think it will ruin my makeup." Tact may have accounted for some of the praise, but in the case of 87-year-old Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt and one of Washington's more outspoken oldtimers, tact...

When the young man recovers, they go on to other intellectual topics-something called "the Cult of Ugliness," then the "sexual power of puberty," and finally, of course, Krafft-Ebing.

The Candlestick in San Francisco sells elaborate, waxy and scented constructions. In fact, smell is big all over. Chicago's Cooper, Inc., offers chocolate, vanilla, and other food odors, and reports that Gold Coast matrons happily pay $25 for a French-made candle that gives...
