...Riviera's simple-life addicts last week: U. S. Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Morgenthau (they enjoyed two daily swims, shunned night clubs except for one fling, got to bed at 10 every night); U. S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's Joseph Patrick Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy and eight young Kennedys; British Secretary of State for Scotland Walter Elliott (served every morning by a procession of hotel servants bringing his breakfast, hot water, clean towels); white-trousered Cinemactress Marlene Dietrich; the Duke & Duchess of Windsor.

Distant Cousin Bill, a $1,300 clerk in Cousin Harold's PWA, and Third Cousin Patrick, a $1,620 clerk in his National Park Service, came on from Washington.
