...Windsor, vetoing cake and candles for his 70th birthday dinner at Maxim's. But somehow he seemed anything but resentful. At an 18th century costume ball for 600 given by Countess Sheila de Rochambeau at her chateau outside Paris, the duke in lace jabot and Royal Stewart tartan kilt danced the night away with his duchess, an enchantress ablaze in shimmering red cloak and white feathered wig designed by Yves St. Laurent...
...flock to the Eve Bar, where Mandy Rice-Davies recently made her professional debut (as a singer) and dress-busting B-girls quaff French champagne while nudes stroll through a cage full of tigers. Aleco's, headquarters for the sports-car set, has walls hung with a Scots tartan, sells Scotch for only 50½ a drink. As the jukebox blares, the patrons-clad in everything from Dior gowns to dungarees-stomp through the hully gully.

...Girdle Needed. Once the uniform of ballet dancers (who wore the real, torso-covering thing), leotards were snatched from behind the practice barre, called tights, and put in department-store windows some five years ago.

The key is for one of Thrifty Rent-A-Car System's 1962 or 1963 model autos, and the net rental is about 20% below the rates charged by Hertz, Avis or National, the Big Three of the billion-dollar...
Children's fashions, in which Italians are tops, turn rather romantic too. Zingone shows a boy's overcoat with a short tartan cape and a terribly clubby suit (they'd love it at Princeton) with suede torso, checked tweed cuffs and collar. Little-girl styles are more restrained, stick to lowered waistlines, gently flared skirts with deep box pleats...
