Nowadays, women take such once dreaded confrontations in stride. "We all laugh when we see ourselves in duplicate or triplicate," says Jo Hughes. Besides, the situation could have been a whole lot worse. For the same $500 dress is owned by no fewer than 150 women, including such other notables as Ethel Kennedy, Cee-Zee Guest, Mrs. Douglas Dillon, Mrs. John R. Drexel III and Mrs. Arthur Gardner.

More Like Mother. As his fellow students quickly discovered, Charles is not an easy person to get to know.

Yet the stride heritage is waning fast, and the Lion is as outspoken on the subject as he is on everything else. "A good many modern pianists," he snorts, "tinkle with their left hand while their right is going nowhere. Modern style, they call it; I call it cheating." But of course he is prejudiced. "There's nothing more beautiful," he believes, "than a two-fisted pianist...
