...affair was Paris' biggest and smartest since the liberation. In the refined splendor of the Hotel Ritz garden last week, some 1,500 diplomats and millionaires and their ladies gathered to sip champagne and nibble pastries in honor of the hotel's 50th birthday. None contributed more glitteringly to the glitter than a white-haired little woman who greeted them at the entrance in fluent French, English or Spanish. She was 81-year-old Marie Louise ("Mimi") Ritz, widow of the man who founded the hotel-and thereby made his name a synonym for ultra-fashionable...

Now known as the International Student Center, the pillared, yellow-clapboard house near Radcliffe yard echoed to the first of many non-New England accents in 1941 and became...
...from German women. There were calls for German men, too. "Brazilian girl, 27" and "Hungarian girl, 23, relatives in South America" were looking for husbands last week. The price: 500 marks down and 500 upon marriage. For an extra 100 marks, applicants could attend the "social evenings" to dance, sip red wine, cocktails and gaze at prospective partners...
