With a certain smile, Graduate Girl Novelist Françoise Sagan, 29, reported in McCall's (which invented togetherness) that the latest thing for a two-time loser in the Paris set, like Françoise herself, is to wear both her outdated wedding rings together. That way, a man can tell she is a "dangerous person to become serious about," while if he persists in chasing a three-or four-ring femme fatale, he is really saying bonjour, tristesse...
Nutty, Naughty-Château is a house divided between Director Roger Vadim and Novelist Françoise Sagan. On the framework of Sagan's first play, Château in Sweden, which enjoyed a long run in Paris, Vadim and an associate script carpenter have slapped together a film comedy that deserves to be condemned, and probably will be.

In Antibes, Pablo Picasso good-humoredly cavorted for tourist cameras at the Restaurant Roger...
...walls of his stuffy official residence. He has edited a first-rate anthology of French poetry, containing long excerpts from his favorites, Apollinaire and Baudelaire. With his blonde wife Claude, he seems most at home with such literary and show business types as André Malraux, Françoise Sagan, Bernard Buffet, Jeanne Moreau and, more recently, that long-legged U.S. newcomer, Jane Fonda. Summers, the Pompidous spend at St. Tropez with the bikini...
