Masked Marvels
Ladies'night at the Waldorf-Astoria—featuring the upper crust ofa rich humble pie. The Junior League of New York's masked ball was a time for heiresses to air out their dresses; for bejeweled
pre-Madonnas to be "material girls"; for fund-raisers to raise hell; for beleaguered hostesses to court blue-blood donors. A time for highballs and high heels, black lace and black tie. Not to mention the masks—Charity looks better in disguise—familiar facades of an ongoing comic opera.
E.B.P.
