...token of her sovereignty, last week the Coq Rouge gave Patricia Plunkett a beauty kit. To Runner-Up Patricia Suydam (daughter of Realtor Hendrick Suydam & Mrs. Richard A. Cunningham) went a flacon of Hawaiian perfume. To Ridgeley Vermilye of Plainfield, N. J., well back in third place, went a new hat. Meanwhile, 1938 Glamor Girl Brenda Frazier, home from Nassau for Christmas, was seen as usual at Manhattan's La Conga in the morning's early hours.

...aloof, publicity-unwise Harold Stanley cracked out the home run of the week for his side, the old-line investment bankers. The pitch that onetime Catcher Stanley (Yale '08) leaned on went sizzling over the head of onetime Third Baseman Leon Henderson (Swarthmore '20), SECommissioner and most articulate anti-banker member of TNEC...
