"Happiness" was represented by the Court of Venus. The Goddess of Love was impersonated by Leonora Corona, onetime singer at the Metropolitan Opera. A Texas girl whose costume as Thai's when she appeared at the Cincinnati Zoo Opera three years ago shocked her audience (TIME, July 31, 1933), Miss Corona showed herself at the Waldorf...
