...evening ended with a brilliant ball at the red brick British embassy, where the most select 600 mingled in marble halls, danced past the gold pillars of the grand ballroom, relaxed at candlelit tables on flagstone terraces. One terrace was covered by a white silk tent trimmed in gold, ashimmer with garlands of tiny lights-all designed for the 1957 visit of Queen Elizabeth...
...this is amiable in its vaporous way is best explained in two words: Art Carney. Carney is a master of comic body English: when he stumbles over a table in the flickering, candlelit murk of a coffeehouse and barks at the bohemian proprietor like a wounded seal, "Are you OPEN?", he is inexpressibly funny.

One recent evening Meat Packer (and charter member) Kurt Distler presented a program devoted to a new, deep-frozen brand of sausage. Status seekers come anyway...
...Opera Ballet Company, happily joined the packed Covent Garden house in its energetic, foot-stomping applause. After the performance, they bolted from their seats in the stalls to a party with the dancers in the hall's well-named Crush Bar, then continued the marathon whirl at a candlelit coming-out ball given by Hungarian-born Textile Manufacturer Miki Sekers, finally got back to Kensington Palace just before dawn...
