On the other hand, pants are fairly common around publishing companies, advertising agencies and show-business offices. Such top restaurants as Chasen's in Los Angeles and the Colony in Manhattan, both of which used to ban pants from their premises, no longer turn them away. Arriving at New York's 21 last month, Comedienne Judy Carne of Laugh-In well knew that her tunic-topped pants suit was unacceptable. With a photographer recording the scene, Judy thereupon slipped...
