"the" Mrs. Astor

Friday, February 11, 2005


This is how my sister gives a picnic in Newport. One dinner guest recently said to me, on the way to du Barry's apartment here, "Oh, she said it was going to be very casual." I looked at him and said, "My sister NEVER does anything 'very casual'." and I was right. Upon entering the dining room the friend nearly fainted at the sight of the table setting. du Barry is the one in the forefront with that very haughty look on her face. I, being much younger, am much more relaxed and free, or "tawdry" as du Barry loves to repeat so often.
