Mrs. Vanderbilt Tries Whistling;
Unique Invitations by Unknown Hosts

When the country's Smartest
beachcombers deserted Baileys
Beach and environs, Newport's creme
de la creme leaned back to enjoy an
unhurried Indian summer. The 10
miles of palaces that line the shore
are by no means all boarded up for
the winter and the entertaining that
continues is just as formal, just as
elegant and just as indicative of
the great wealth that's made the
little town famous.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, COM
plete with headband and diamonds,
was at Mrs. George Mesta's dinner
last Saturday night. She said she

now is entertaining Count and
Countess BeM Hadek. The latter's
mother, Countess Laszlo Szechenyi,
by the way, will be back from her
European trip and in her house
here by the end of November.
Influenced, no doubt, by Mrs.
Mesta's usual peppy party atmos-
phere and the snappy playing of
pianist entertainer Cliff Hall, Mrs.
Vanderbilt broke down and did a
whistling duet with Capital COL

couldn't resist singing some special
