THOSE ENTERTAINING DESIGNERS
lis Parties Are q Bit L ate

Arnold Scaasi is a designer
of dramatic clothes who leads
a dramatic life among friends
of high achievement and
high voltage personality.
His two-story studio atop
a high building overlooking
Central Park affords one Of
the most spectacular views In
the world and he well knows
how to make the most of it.
The twenty-foot high win
dows which form the north
wall are uncurtained and
each has its own long win
dow seat covered with red
velvet.
A huge fireplace is one TO-
cal point, the other is a red
velvet banquette along the
opposite wall from the win
dows which angles around to
make a conversation center.
Facing 1t are ScaaSi's pride
and Joy, two fantastic chairs
in the shape Of giant gilded
hands.
Most Of Scaasi's parties are
late. after an opening or q
concert such as the one he
recently gave for Joan Suth-
erland after she sang her
first concert, wearing q
Scaasi dress, Of course.
A tiny dance floor was set
up in one corner Of the stu
dio-the dance floor afford
ing room for no more than
two couples - but at least
keeping things swinging &C.
cording to the host. The mu-
sic consisted of an accordion
list and a guitarist.
Guests sat all the way up
the stairs which leads to the
one small bedroom. The very
small dining room held a buff
fet table groaning with Scaasi
goodies-he Is as enterpris-
ing a cook as he Is q de-
signer. A maid was stationed
behind the table to assemble
each guests choice Of food
All hearty because people
who act or sing or dance or
create anything like a lot to
eat late at night as q rule,
he says.
The mainstay Of the supper
is small French pancakes,
cooked to order in an elec-
trio frying pan. With them
is served hot chicken hash,
caviar and sour cream or
cream cheese and blackberry
jam. Fresh fruit and q large
platter Of assorted cheeses
with crackers and a huge
bowl of homemade cookies
and cupcakes to 60 with cof-
fee completes the menu. :.

This went on for an hour

any funny lines. None

There was some promise that
those who stayed after inter-

one should call it, Cartridge, u

on the ability of the system ia

the heat Of the evening in q
