...Ambassador Adlai Stevenson as her es cort. After the performance, Jackie went backstage to thank the company, heard one member exult: "She has made our season." Days were devoted to fashion fittings in her suite, with the dresses dis patched through the lobby under canvas by her couturier, Oleg Cassini. Also under wraps: a massive Mr. John hatbox that surely contained Jackie's Easter bonnet. At odd moments during the week, she inspected the art galleries and curio shops that abound about her Madison Avenue hotel, but her only known purchase was an antique French cachepot...
...Siamese mother, China Machado, now 25, worked her way around the world as a Pan Am stewardess and cinemactress, became the top mannequin for Givenchy in Paris at age 21. Also modeling for Simonetta, Fabiani and Balenciaga, she was finally coaxed to the U.S. in 1958 by Oleg Cassini. But for all her experience on haute couture's most exalted runways, last week's star billing at Macy's left China all but speechless in each of her seven languages.

Oleg Cassini, Jackie's official designer, introduced a figure-following dress with a natural waistline and scoop neckline. "I did not make it for her," said Cassini, "but I think she might enjoy wearing it." Seventh Avenue hopes that Mrs. Kennedy will like the dress...
There was much of the past that ex-Cinemactress Gene Tierney, 39, wanted to forget. Behind her were 31 movies, a divorce from sleek Couturier Oleg Cassini, a retarded daughter (Gene had German measles during the pregnancy) and five years, off and on, as a voluntary patient in private mental hospitals. Last week she decided that she was strong enough to make a clean break with those bad bygone years. In Aspen, Colo.'s Community Church, she married Houston Oilman W. (for William) Howard Lee, 51, freshly divorced from his second wife, ex-Cinemactress Hedy Lamarr. Lee had courted...
