...Kennedy." Indeed, that special quality of homebred, plain-folks Americanness may be the one unmistakable brand that will mark Lady Bird Johnson's reign in the White House. At 51, she is cast more in the pleasant image of a neat, busy suburban clubwoman than in the queenly mold of a jet-set Continental beauty. She is intelligent, superbly poised and incredibly self-disciplined. Her skin is clear and abloom, and she has the figure of a teen-ager (5 ft. 4 in., 114 lbs.), but she is no glamor girl.

Paley and Manhattan Socialite Stanley Mortimer, married Law Student Shirley Carter Burden Jr., 22, on Long Island, Women's Wear Daily styled it in advance as "the wedding of the year." Ba wore white organza by Mainbocher; Ma, coral plaid taffeta by Dior.
