All the swells entered her orbit - Lady Mendle Garbo Gloria Swanson Picasso Dali et al. Schiap's inscription - in her broad flowing almost indecipherable script in brown ink on the free front endpaper - indeed harkens back to a swell time: "To Kay Lawrence for a delightful hour at 21 N.Y. Elsa Schiaperlli" referring presumably to cocktails at 21 Club on 52nd Street in Manhattan which fell victim to the Covid economy in mid December 2020. Kay Lawrence was a Manhattan-based journalist perhaps on assignment for the publication of Schiap's book. She served as President of the Newswomen's Club of New York from 1960-61.
