both of which she liked very much
and both of which / saw last yeal
and didn't like. Neither of US
saw Mary Martins show South
Pacific" because we didn't want
to pay thirty or forty dollars for
the tickets.
Two girls from the country
manage to get along very well
In New York even so One even
ing we were going back to the
hotel after the theatre and stopped
IN Schraft's for an ice cream soda.
We dawdled over the sodas for
quite a while until finally | ask
ed for the check. The fountain
boy said, Wasn't HE with your
and pointed to the now vacant
counter stool by Bonnie. We
shook our heads and the bow
laughed and said 'sWell, he paid
|. Tor your drinks, anyway, for l
put them on his check" So some
poor guy from somewhere paid 81
cents for one glass of orange Juice
in New York City.
Mixing with the after-theatre
crowds, just walking around and
seeing what there is to see in the
worlds largest city is great en-
tertainment -. and free. We en-
Joyed eating in a different res
taurant every night. You can
get better French cooking in New
York than you can in Paris and
Mother Leone's restaurant can't
be duplicated in Rome.
we especially enjoyed, too. hav-
ing lunch with our good friend
North Callahan, who writes the
splendid column, $50 this is New
York" which appears as regular
~ IN this paper as space permits
North and his brother, Bob, who
mas Just finished the University of
southern California, took us to
lunch at Town and Country on
Avenue. 1t was nice seeing
again and meeting Bob.
Another highlight of the trim
was witnessing, behind the scenes
a teievision show put on by Doro-
tny Doan, former feature writer
Q international News Service.
dorothy may be remembered
around here as the one who wrote
up your editor when she re-
turned from Europe last summer
-ner stories appeared frequently
IN the Commercial Appeal. Doro-
thy's sponsor on the program is
vanity Fair and the day we saw
the show new fall fashions were
featured. 1t was interesting to
see the beautiful models with pan
cake makeup in marvellous gowns
Hattie Carnegie, Lilly Dache
and other topflight designers pa
rading before the monstrous
television cameras which look like
something from Mars. Ordinarily
they don't have visitors on the set
SO we felt quite honored that CHS
allowed us behind scenes and de-
we didn't blame them for
not allowing visitors who can't
be anything but a darned unis-
ance.
/ could tell you of many more
amusing incidents-like another
evening on the Starlight roof after
Guy Lombardo's orchestra OPEN
ed for the summer when one of
his serious faced young musicians
stopped by our table on his way
out and said: 81 gotta hand it to
you, Miss, you've got on the best
looking hat in the whole joint"
and me in my three year old
broad brim-but they would take
up too much space
After an extended automobile
tour around the city Sunday
morning-seeing the city without
the people-we left for Newark
Airport to find that in some mys-
terious fashion we had only one
ticket for two of us to get home
on. Somewhere along the line
somebody took a ticket he wasn't
supposed to take and we ended up
by having to purchase another
ticket back to Atlanta.
Thus ends quite a week in New
