Born in Czechoslovakia, she is not only a remarkable celebrity in her own right, she is also an intriguing individual, having refused to sell out to half a dozen giant cosmetic companies. and instead building her own skin game, which now includes a three-story, ploye emporium on Madison Avenue, an equally posh Beverly Hills branch run by her daughter, and still a third outfit, in Bal Harbor. Fla.

Mrs. Klinger will shortly open the fourth corner of her empire at Chicago's Watertower Hyatt House. Lunch When we telephoned Mrs. Klinger for lunch, she first insisted that we hav one of her facials ourself. We sternly refused.

"Your vace." she said, "is like your veet. It needs to go for a valk." Promptly she began slapping our face and putting on gobs of what we understood to be exercise cream.

After that came what we think she called nourishing cream. "So your vace," she explained, eat. Bet is so hungry!" Date At this we were reminded of our lunch date, and we thanked Miss Lilly and repaired to the Four Seasons.
