SUSANNA SAYS From New York

By the time this column appears in print, two Hallowe'en parties will have come and gone. One is the annual Nat- ional Variety Artists Ball which takes place at Manhattan Center in N.Y. and the other; The Chevalier D'Eon "Hen Party" which we are holding for the first time at the re- sort. It will have been a fascinating event since we'll all drive from N.Y. to the mountains right after the NVA dance...a real TV motorcade at 1 or 2 AM. We should be at least 20 or 25 girls. For more details on this see #7. The resort is closed now until the Spring of 1961. although there'll be occasional visits to it from NY. whenever the weather is good and the desire to stay dressed for 48 hours is strong enough. Looking back, I must say that despite the financial fracas, it was a worthy experiment. I met wonderful people and we sparked some lovely friendships. TV's in general are a pretty nice breed of humans. At this point I can't resist the temptation to essay a per- sonal classification of TV's from my own observations and contacts We might call it; TV types I have known..

First, a general statement: TV is not a static state of mind. Like everything human, it moves, sometimes forward sometimes backward, but it does not stay the same This applies to the intensity of the desire to dress, its fre- quency, and the forms it takes regarding preferences as to styles, make-up, lingerie, hairdo and even as to ac tivities we like to engage in In other wards TViem grows in any of many directions and there are constant subtle changes in the inclinations of every TV I've met including myself. Let's say for instance, that most TV's just love to have their picture taken and to collect TV pictures, but as the opportunities and frequency of doll- ing up increase, the urge for picture taking quiets down and sometimes it becomes some thing of very little impor- tance I've noticed this in myself and in some of my friends.

Again, tastes in clothes change more or less periodically.
