The most memorable moment was the arrival of the first guests, an African-American couple who said they had to be there. Their name was White. I think of this affair at about this time every year, when I begin seeing people walking around dressed in white. The men's white-linen ice cream suit of the old days is seen less and less, but women certainly have no hesitancy about dressing in white. As well they should.
White cloth makes just about anybody look good.
We seem to have a special love of white food. We prefer white meats to dark ones. That's whether it's chicken, veal, fish, rice, bread or anything else. The white dinner was over a decade ago now. Maybe it's time for another one.
