These things change, of course. Not a month ago, Karen Hilton, a director of New York's Wilhelmina model agency, was talking about her newest and ritziest signing. Princess Stephanie of Monaco, she said, "has the look that is in, a little boyish but sexy." Now, she insists, "people are just looking for something to say about her because she's a princess. She never struck me as boyish." It appears that the princess, like a new imported automobile, is undergoing some last-minute modification for domestic consumption...
...Wilhelmina agency told Vogue that the princess's New York trip was "indefinitely postponed," but Editor in Chief Grace Mirabella says, "I didn't get the feeling she was never coming." Rumors started to fly like sand gnats.

An accomplished horsewoman in her first flat race, she did quite nicely, finishing fourth. Down south in Sardinia, Diana took first place...
...play the game, though it does not spell out the regulations. Rule 1 is that friendliness and even sexual intimacy do not automatically confer acceptance. Rule 2 is that the home team gets to suspend Rule 1 whenever it wants to flaunt its self- assurance. Cynthia Pickles, local ice princess and founder of Overview ("a journal of opinion for all sides"), coolly sleeps with Teeters, accepts his nuptial propositions but marries smooth, rich Jerry Chirouble. Pickles' underclass equivalent is Toby Snapper, a waitress whose services to Teeters include imitations of a pliant Cockney maid...
