22. "Those docents are marvelous. I've been eavesdropping and they deserve every accolade bestowable," said Mrs. Mortimer Fleish-hacker Jr. Dimension Is the brainchild of the California Arts Commission, which lists two members locally Herbert Hoover and Mrs.

Jaquelin Hume of the City and Mrs. Robert Stanton of Carmel Valley. The presence of Los Angeles CAC members actress Irene Dunne (Mrs. Francis Griffin) and Mrs. Justin Dart, wife of the pharmaceutical mogul, made it all the more successful.

The panoply of parties here (see the Herbert Hoover do this page) and even there beforehand and the constant threat of rain did not prevent some 500 of our top art So-cial-Whirlers from attending. There were Mrs. Richard Cooley, Mrs. Thomas Dwyer of the decent council, the George Bradys, the Vernon Lambertsens, the Henry Priens, artist Henrietta Berk, Mrs. Crane Hoyt, Mrs.

Albert Campodonico, Lydia Modi Vitale (Santa Clara's de Saisset museum director in an exotic Afghanistan animal skin maxi coat), Shena Baring-Gould, Mrs. William Hamm (who, with Anne Pattee, is working on a zoo docent event), Swiss Consul General and Mrs. Jean Studer (they finally bought that Sea Cliff Avenue house after nearly four months In a motel) RHAPSODIC RECEPTION ft it 4 i Jf lyi, '1 I XC I I I IS 4 1 And sculptor Baron Michael von Meyer (blind pianist George Shearing was turned on by the tactile quality of Von Meyer's borxoi hound), Mrs. Richard Pettit, Mrs. Francis Kee-sling and let's not forget (Who ever could?) the presence of Pennsylvania visitor Tullah Hanley, who just gave the splendid gift of Impressionist paintings to the de Young.

Tullah, who likes very bare dresses and will belly dance at the drop of a sultan, was wearing a black dress. It was very proper in the front, but the back of it plunged Adolphus Andrews "best-dressed" SOLEMN portrait above them could not diminish jovial spirits of Robert Stanton (left), Mrs. Nion Tucker, and Thomas Carr Howe.

I am a study in braille, am I said Tullah who said she would be back in October for "a complete exhibit of me" (also the dedication of the collection, which comprises 210 pieces and would go for more than $2 million at auction at Parke-Bernet. Tullah said she gave none of her late husband's collection to New York's Metropolitan or to the Philadelphia Museum because they have "too much Impressionist art and you have so little." "I could have sold the art, but I would have only used the money to buy more paintings. I still want to be loved for myself although I don't plan on marrying again. Men do not want a wife, they want complete surrender. I am against that," she said.

A more modest gift last evening was the presentation to the Dimension show, which is to travel the U.S., of two pieces by the national headquarters of the Gamma sorority, member Cynthia (Mrs. Joseph) Kelly told us. Cynthia is the daughter of former Governor Pat Brown. Today, the CAC gets down to future business. For example, the California State" Arts Festival of a couple of years hence.

"It will be an art Olympics," said pretty blonde CAC member AUeen (Mrs. Hal) Ab-bate of Fresno, who is to be its chairman. How does one go about pole vaulting a painting? Current nonsense at hand must include the new International Best -Dressed List. Adolphus Andrews of The City made it He's a nice guy, but it must prove an embarrassment when he runs into local fellow well-dresseds such as Dr. John Upton, Matt Kelly, Gorham Knowles, Dan London, Phil Rosenthal and Carlos Bea.

And wouldn't Gloria Vanderbilt (Mrs. Wyatt Cooper) who's on the list feel ill at ease in the presence of daring Mrs. John (Dodie) Rosekrans, Mrs. John Vietor, whimsical Mrs. John Mailliard III and Mrs.

John Topham? In this socially and ecologically turbulent time it does seem a farce to be singled out for world-wide acclaim on the basis of one's evening pajamas or necktie. Publicized elegance is only a signal to taxi drivers who speed through splashy curbside puddles on rainy days. Gordon Getty, son of Paul and half-sister Mrs. Hoppe Long jetted to Palm Beach to be with their mother, Mrs. Rudolph Light upon learning of the unexpected death of Dr.

Light, of the Upjohn drug fortune. The Lights, frequent visitors, were here only last October and were feted soundly. -5 l1 Examiner photos by Fran Ortii AT LEFT, blind pianist George Shearing discusses "Dimension" art show for the blind, which opened last night at the de Young, with actress Irene Dunne, while Mrs. Shearing and Mrs. John Grossman (right) talk about Guide dogs.
