...someone who looked like Joan Kennedy for five minutes before we both realized we were wearing the same dress," Cheray Duchin reported. "We laughed about it." Some of the laughter also came out slightly lime green. One woman reporter claimed that several guests repaired to the powder room to weep on one another's bared shoulder. Happiest among women were those who had bought the selfsame dress and decided to wear something else that evening. Then even they started worrying.

There are some pleasant Oriental overtones but scarcely a beat, let alone a pulse, in most of the pieces (Willow Weep for Me, Mann's Nirvana); Cole Porter's I Love You is a cheerful exception...

"Zorba!" the young man cries, "teach me to dance!" The old man rises up, his eyes alight. "You lack madness, my friend," Zorba says softly. "A man must be a little mad to cut the rope-and be free!" A little mad, the young man begins to dance...
