18. Mrs. Reagan, super-chic Nancy, will be wearing that red bended top and red chiffon skirt by Adolfo, the one that creates a sensation every time she wears it. They're the best kind, whether your husband is a presidential candidate or not. Nancy Reagan is alwavs beautifully turned out that more than one presidential hopeful's wife has had to look to her wardrobe and image Speaking of Palm Beach, the big new development just west of there, the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club, is attracting a whole new young element to the area And not a moment too soon.

Among those recently buying condominiums there are the young Jeremy Chbholms. the recently married Averell FUks and Anne and Howard Oxenberg of New York and Southampton. In fact, so wddly popular has this section become that builders have a S3 million backlog in orders for apartments. Nothing like spending the recession In a warm climate watching the polo. Isn't that what you always say? Warren Beatty: time for everybody WOODY The party was smashing, with lots of paparazzi on the outside no pictures allowed inside.

Because Harkness House Is a ballet school, its all mirrored walls reflected only beautiful candlelight and beautiful people. White furniture had been moved in for the comfort of the elite, and upstairs there was a red discotheque with (ins on each table for the overheated. More handsome than the guests were the waiters, who resembled Christopher Reeve clones. All the champagne was Moet-Chandon. Woody's date was actress Jessica Harper, who looks about 12.

The host received in a black shirt, beige knit tie and sports Jacket Among guests were such critics media heavies as Jack Kroll. Frank Rich. Howard Klssel.Chuck Champlln and Mel Gussow.

David Rabe, Tony and Berry Perkins, Gloria VanderbUt (escorted by her handsome sons), Bella Abzug, Gil da Rad-ner, Milos Forman, Bess Myerson, Lorraine Newman and Robert De.Nlro, who went unnoted with his extra pounds, overcoat and cigar. W'oody's writing partner Marshall Brickman and his wife, Nina, were there, expectantly. Their little Brickman is due in three weeks, and Marshall's written-and-directed movie "Simon" is due this spring. Jean Demanlan, the lovely brunette longtime friend of the host gets high marksrfor the party they say that she masterminded behind the scenes. Tuesday Weld came with Hollywood's bright young agent Michael Black, but left the party with Richard Gere.

Robin Williams was there on the eve of his departure for Malta to begin "Popeye," His "Mork and Mindys" have been filmed in advance, and he has been training for two years to play the sailor man. Like Gere in "Bent" Robin has to shave his head for the role. To end on an optimistic note for the New Year, how tweet it is that Paramount keeps the faith, they're letting the old flop-master Rekert Altaaaa direct their $12 million "Popeye." Hope springs eternal. J. wi- kisses on both-cheeks greetings hile murmuring "Happy New Year!" Civilized?
