Rose Morgan jetted-away-from-you-all last Sunday
for a week in Paris where she will take another look-
see at that magic town and visit her wig manufac
turer . . .
I'm sure St. James Church and the Cosmopolitan
Tennis Club have found it difficult to get along with
out Leonard Spooner these past 4 weeks. But he and his
beloved Missus took a much needed vacation on the
enchanted island of Barbados, BWI — but they will be
back next Sunday . . .
William Trent, the one who makes the United Negro
College Fund wheels go round, just back from Kenya,
Uganda and Ethiopia, Africa where he assisted the
team of college officials who interview prospective stu
dents for the 214 private colleges in the USA, 22 of
which are “ours.” Interesting arrangement of paying
the cost of the students in that the AID program of
the USA pays living expenses; the college pays the tu
ition and the transportjation here is paid by the student’s
government . . .
Maida Springer is in Kenya, Africa. Since she is a
personal friend of Tom Mboya, I know she’s enjoying
it all . . .
There will be no “where did the money prob
lem” in the African Cultural Group, Inc. Frances Cann
has hired CPA Daniel Eth . . ,
PARTY FARE . . . ’Twas Dorothea Towles and Tom
Church who were guests at that fabulous Fifth Avenue
party given by TV and Broadway star Tom Poston last
Friday for Chita Rivera also a Broadway star . . .
SCENE AND HEARD . . . Cafe society set ooohing and
ahing over one of the latest gifts of Lionel Hampton
to his beloved Gladys which is an over-five-grand
mink coat . . .
Judge Thurgood Marshall will join Dr. Philip
Handler and Norman Podhoretz to discuss ‘‘Portrait
of an Educated Man: USA, 1963. at the Dalton School’s
annual PTA Tea on Saturday. Now, I can understand
the Judge painting this portrait with the best of ’em—
but that “TEA” bit has me baffled. THAT, I would
have to see'. ...
LAND OF ROMANCE . . . Lovely Jeane Simon Fletcher
will soon become a mother-in-law when handsome Ted
Fletcher and Marguerita Wilkerson tie the knot shortly.
Both teach . . .
THE FOLKS YOU KNOW ... At the big bash given
for the appliance dealers by Con Edison in New York
City at the Bitlmore Hotel last Wednesday, were Harold
Rochester of Blumsteins on 125 Street; Edgar Carter
of the Bronx; Harry Elias of NYC and Sam Miller of
Brooklyn who enjoyed the show, the drinks, the food
and — well maybe, learned a bit about selling
appliances . . .
