...bitch in Dinner at Eight, showed up at Manhattan's Ground Floor restaurant wearing her beige, green and pink Tiziani suit. Marion Javits, wife of the New York Senator, entertains in a shocking pink Adele Simpson suit.

...Greying, distinguished Norman Norell, 66, is today the dean of U.S. designers. As an apprentice, he designed costumes for Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson. Today his Manhattan collections still retain much of the sleek, stark, flamboyant yet functional modernity that was characteristic of the late 1920s and early 1930s-and remain equally timely in the 1960s.

Among the more bizarre were a marble sarcophagus once used as a bathtub by Rudolph Valentino, a year of ballet lessons, and eight hours of service by a ten-man parking team for a private party. For $475, two culture angels rented the Old Globe Theater for an evening with the intention of staging a play and cocktail party, and Shoe Magnate Harry Karl, husband of Debbie Reynolds, forked out $1,600 to rent an "executive bus" for two weeks, along with drivers, food and beverages. He plans to take...
