...Eunice Oakes, the striking, thirtyish widow of William Pitt Oakes (who died in 1958, 15 years after the still unsolved murder in Nassau of his father, Multimillionaire Miner Sir Harry Oakes). One columnist even overheard Bobbie gush: "She sends me." Last week the Long Island lord ended the society-page speculation, gave Eunice an olive-sized diamond (plucked from a grandmother's earring), announced that on March 21 she would be to the manor borne. Why the rush? Replied Gardiner: "I don't want Eunice to change her mind...

Like many other singers, she did not really reach her peak until she passed 30, has developed remarkably in style and power during the last three or four years.

The Leontyne who came to her was a "gawky, very simple child-just another student to me." Miss Kimball realized that Leontyne was more than another student after hearing her sing Mistress Ford in a Juilliard production of Falstaff. Officially. Miss Kimball was her voice teacher; unofficially, she counseled her on how to dress and carry herself, how to handle the social perplexities of a Northern city. Says a Juilliard friend...
