he sold-out Crystal Bal! at

the Four Seasons, the an-

nual $250-per-person fund-

raiser for the Children’s
Hospital, again proved to be the
place to see and be seen with all
of the ladies gowned in their
dressiest silks and satins, diamonds
and pearls...

WV’s elegant and smoothly
chignoned Barbara Aisenstat, the
widow of restaurateur Hy
Aisenstat, was there with her fami-
ly, and introducing her soon-to-
be-daughter-in-law, Karen
MacLachlan.

Seems that her son, David, has
recently popped the all-important

question and the wedding date has
just been set far December 22!

Blonde Karen, who was eye-
catching in a halter-necked swir! of
sequins, has her parents flying in
from Ottawa for the wedding,
which will be a small family affair
held in the International Suite at
the Westin Bayshore. They’ll
honeymoon fater in the Caribbean
and have a big celebration in Feb-
ruary. Our very best wishes to you
both...

The O'Neill family was also on
hand, with the recently-named
Hotelier of the Year, John O’ Neill
and his best girl, Leah Harris,
holding hands. They happened to
win a sort of ray-boo prize in their
silver balloon. tt was a certificate
for an expensive baby carriage!...

West Van’s bubbly Patsy Dug-
gan was there, looking radiant in a
strapless black velvet. She’s now
with tres wealthy Caleb Chan’‘s

COCKTAILS,

Burrard International. It was the
Chan brothers who were the re-
cent and very generous donors of
$10 million to UBC for a new cre-
ative and performing arts centre...

Newly-single and having a great
time, too, was popular lawyer,
Steve Sobolewski. He was having
a bal! at hotel boss, Ruy Paes-
Braga’s table, acting up famously
with all the beautiful fadies...

Also spotted Camwell’s former
Liberal heavyweight organizer, Bill
McEwan and his wife, Irene, at the
dinner party. Never far out of the
political limelight, Bill is gearing
up to run for the national Liberal
executive council at the big get-
together in Calgary next June...

Developer and Red Robin res-
taurant chairman, Jim Houston,
was there, looking distinguished in
his black tux with his sc-attractive
wife, Jackie, on his arm. The
charming socialite held her annual
not-to-be-missed ladies’ luncheon
at her posh Acadia home on
Wednesday. Crossing the bridge to
attend were West Vanners Dorse
Huntstone, owner of Park Royal’s
Jeanne Dorse, Grace Gordon Col-
lins, Cindy Bubb, Debbie Brown-
ing, Laura Lee Armstrong and the
gracious Lilly Lee, who also at-
tended the gala Crystal Ball with
the Houstons and her realtor hus-
band, Bob...

Catching up on all the interna-
tional gossip with talent agent
Bruce Allen and pretty wife, Jane
MacDougall, were prominent

jeweller Tony Cavelti and his wife, |

Hildegarde.

Jane and Bruce were special
guests at rocker Tina Turner’s 50th
birthday party in London last
week, cheek-to-jowling it with
people like Jerry Hall, sans Mick
Jagger who's on tour, Duran
Duran and Fric Clapton.

Janie could really relax and en-
joy the week-long vacation
because Mum and Dad, West
Van’s Mariam and Brice Mac-
dougall, were happily babysitting
their darling one-year grand-
daughter, Claire...

Joanne Hussein, looking terrific,
was sporting a new hairdo at the
ball. Husband Joe wasn’t able to
be with her as he had the flu. so
