...SCENE FOUR. Jane Ormsby Gore, 23, daughter of the former British Ambassador to the U.S., and a fashion assistant on British Vogue. Clad in tightly fitted, wine-red flared Edwardian jacket over a wildly ruffled white lace blouse, skintight, black bell-bottom trousers, silver-buckled patent leather shoes, ghost-white makeup and tons of eyelashes, she pops in to a cocktail party, not unlike the one Julie Christie goes to in Darling, at Robert Eraser's art gallery on Duke Street. There she sees Fashion Designer Pauline Fordham in a silver metallic coat, Starlet Sue Kingsford...
...Neill's own family, given the name of Tyrone. All the Tyrones are escapists, running from unfulfilled dreams, or from the more painful disillusion with fulfilled dreams. James Tyrone is a financially successful matinee idol who has risen from immigrant Irish poverty. His wife Mary, raised in a lace-curtain Irish home, schooled in a convent, has turned to morphine after the illness in which she bore her second son, Edmund, (representing O'Neill himself). The eldest son, Jamie, has wasted away an acting and writing talent in a Broadway life of whiskey and cynicism. Edmund, vaguely seeking...
...manufacturers have lengthened hose to the full 38 in., are shortening the welt (reinforced stocking top) from 4 to H in.; Hanes, a leading stocking manufacturer, has eliminated the welt altogether.

Really putting on the dog was Designer Ursula Lehnhardt, who wrapped her poodle Peppy in white mink and a collar studded with black dice, and Designer Larry Reiter, who dressed his wolfhound Czarina in silver lame and his whippet Isis in a $250 wild marabou coat dyed...
...apparently everything is. "A young tailor recently tried to commit suicide in his employer's backroom," reported the Post, "by strangling himself with his wife's brassiere. Rescued just in time by one of his fellow workers, the tailor fled out of the door with the black lace brassiere between his teeth." What made him do it? "He had become engaged to a bar hostess," the Post concluded, "who was endowed with a most enviable bosom. However, after several months, he found his bride-to-be gradually diminishing in the curves he admired most...
