Well CZ was a pretty good arbiter of who was "in" and who "wasn't" in that lofty sphere even though she herself was quite vertically mobile socially.
She also did not suffer fools gladly I hear. Does that remind you of anyone...lol?
W did a nice piece on her last issue. First thing Annette asked was she wondered if you knew her;>)
I would assume she viewed Martha as gauche and feral.
On the other hand she felt sorry for John Gotti's wife when he got life and introduced herself and became pals and is to this day supposedly. I would assume she was quite non-pretentious from what I've read but did not tolerate those who acted tacky. An interesting lady...one of the last Great Dames from the time of leisure.
Yes, I bought the issue.
Mommy knew her. Me ? I had lunch at her place once ( mommy dragged me )to hear Miller ( Goldwater's V.P./running mate )speak. Otherwise, all I know about dear Mrs. Guest, is what mommy would tell me. Mommy liked her a lot and that's good enough for me.
No, she didn't suffer fools gladly and wasn't a " snob ". :-)
Oh yes, and she was BIG in GOP circles. That's how mommy knew her.
