THE INTERNATIONAL SET . . . The General As
sembly meeting of the United Nations brings top
international socialites to NYC who give delightful
social events. Among the recent and charming events
was the Reception of Ambassador and Mme. M. Sori
Coulibaly of the Republic of Mali at the United Na
tions Delegates Dining Room . . .
Lovely Margaret Jackson who gives the big
fashion show each year for the benefit of her favorite
charity this year it was the NAACP — will jet-away-
from you-all soon and laze on the sunny sands of
Jamaica, W.I. . . .
Louise Fisher Morris says of her visit to Japan:
“a most fascinating and beautiful country”. She will
be home to NYC most any century now! . . .
Too charming and beautiful Media Bladkamkar
of India is STILL TALKING about the Utility Club’s
annual luncheon and how exciting it was for her!
Folk from Harlemtown must get to know more of
the delightful people who come here from other
countries! After all, New York City IS the “capital
of the world” with the UN here! ...

AN ORCHID TO ME . . . One of the most flattering
things happened to me last week! Ran into pretty,
pretty Jane Moore who told me how much she loved
the opening lines of “On The Town” called “Words
for a Way of Life. I thought she was just “being
polite” but she up and opened her pocket book to
show me that she collects them! Heavens to Betsy!
Now, I won’t be able to repeat any of them! But, I
love that girl! . . .
THE JET SET . . . The current name for the ultra-
sophisticated folk these, days is, as you know, “the
Jet Set” and they go last, furiously and everywhere.
Add to the list the Fritz Pollards who jetted out to
California last weekend. You read right — for the
WEEKEND! They arrived during the recent heat
spell — temperature 112 degrees — visited Rev. and
Mrs. R. A. Tourigney at their Palos Verdes Estate, saw
most of southern California, then stopped off in
Chicago to see the Fritz Pollard Jr. family — all in
one weekend! Dear me! . . .
