JOY TELLS ALL

The Properties’ handsome
and suave Harry Moll was
the big winner last week in
the shirt sweepstakes at
THE social event.of the
festive season, while finan-
cier Peter Wall lost his!

Meanwhile, the 2.09 carat dia-
mond was won in a split between
two West Van couples, and Me}
Sprackman, who lusted after two
bathrobes, paid retail (his father-
in-law Marray Goldman will
probably need resuscitation!) and
Dr. Phil Ashmore did a great
standup Frank Sinatra!

it all happened at the fifth an-
nual Crystal Ball at. the Four
Seasens Hotel, a sold-out, $250-
a-plate fundraiser for the
Children’s Hospital.

The hostess with the mostess,
Jackie Houston, who had enter-
tained at a very social luncheon
the day before, was there with her
developer husband, Jim. Jackie

was in a pleated, tiered gown of
silvery white, accented by a
necklace and bracelet of dazzling
emeralds.

Also among the 375 guests were
the chic Hildegarde and Tony
Cavelti of jewelry fame; West Van
waterfront dwellers Joanne and
Joe Houssian; Susie, and the
afore-mentioned Harry Moll.
Susie was in an eye-catching
floor-length, black off-the-
shoulder sheath. Their good pal
Wally Dezura was also there.

Spotted restaurant fellow Bud
Kanke and his ebullient wife, Dot-
ty, who was wearing an eye-ogling
short short black velvet pant suit
trimmed with gold braid. Harriet
Wolfe was in a colorful bouffant
gown of bright pink and teal by
Martha. Diana Turton was in
sculpting black with silver braid
while wealthy realtor Andrea Eng
looked a slim sliver of red.

Aline and Enrico, the Count
and Countess Dobrzenski, enjoyed
the ball, with Aline lovely in rich
gold brocade. West Van’s Susan
and John Evans were there as
were Lynn and Kerry Dix, Kam
and Henning Brasse and Mary
and Franco Anglesio. Franco is
the new executive VP for Coast
Hotels.

Nelson and Eleni Skalbania
were chatting with friends,
Darlene and Jack Poole, while
Jackie Cohen turned heads in a
sheer, short black and siiver mini.

Jone and Russ Fraser looked
wonderfully rested and relaxed.
They’d just returned from Hawaii
and were still sporting their tans.
Jone had on the prettiest purple
outfit shot with gold.

Hosting our table were the
always gracious Debbie and Ruy
Paes Braga, the VP for the Four
Seasons chain.

Dr. Phil Ashmore, the retiring
head of surgery at Children’s
Hospital, put on a super show,
crooning all kinds of great jazzy
blues numbers like Day in, Day
Out and My Romance. And it was
financier Peter Wali who was so
touched by the hospital benefit
that he offered the shirt off his
back. It was finally auctioned off
by Barry Scott to the determined
Harry Moll, who bought it for
$2,500! That same shirt is now
going to be auctioned off as an
annual event. And next year, the
curvaceous Susie Moll will wear it.
And when the winning bid comes
in, Susie will have to take it off —
just as Peter Wall did. Next time,
we'll definitely have a
photographer on hand!...

Congratulations also go out to
the winner of the first annual
Woman To Woman Magazine’s
Most Eligible Bachelor of the
Year! There were 84 entries in all
and the winner was selected by a
knowledgeable panel of female
experts, including this scribe, at

Hart Molthagen’s O’Doul’s Hotel.

He was actually nominated by his
sister, he’s a restaurant manager
at Bud Kanke’s Jue Fortes, and
his name is Benny Graydon. Ben-
ny is quiet, handsome and very
pleasant. He wins a number of
great prizes, including a trip for
two to San Francisco ... And that
whacky production of A Funny
Thing Happened on the Way to
the Forum at the Centennial
Theatre in North Vancouver was a
winner both artistically and finan-
cially for the Vancouver-Rich-
mond Association for the Mental-
ly Handicapped. Tony Parsons fi-
nally proved to the world that he
