THAT DINNER "TONIGHT'S PARTY?" After thirty-four years of giving dinner look like that, did not say much parties, big, little, grand or cozy, that scare and I are well acquainted.

I'd love to blame this on the three generations of Hollywood who've sat about the dining table I borrowed from my mother when I was married, never returned, and never intend to. Or I wouldn't mind accusing the people from all over everywhere who keep turning up in Hollywood.

But I can't. It's just me and dress is about half zippped up. my vanity. I want anyone and So while I wait, I zip. And as everyone who comes to our the first company arrives I open hour to have a good time, good the door. These very firsts special food, good everything.

Certainly some choosy cigar smoker must have invented this custom. The second dinner is over, the ladies are thrown out of the dining room, leaving the gentlemen to have their coffee and their cigars in peace. It's all-around awful, I moved on that brute of a tradition long ago.

In our house, anyone who wants coffee comes and gets it in the living room. There, 100, are the cigars. Maybe I shouldn't so love their smell. They've cost, me shume, worry, money,
