LOUELLA PARSONS' GOOD ■ Princess Irene Ghica. who will marry Errol Flynn, is slim, green-eyed, attractive and titled. But it wasn't her obvious sex-appeal or the "Princess" in front of her name that made the fascinatin' Flynn fall for her like a ton of bricks. The Princess is mad about children and nothing could have struck a more potent blow at Errol's heart. He adores his little Rory and the older child, Diedre. The first time Errol met the Princess was at the Paris apartment of his good friends, the Freddie McAvoys. Freddie has a little daughter (by a previous marriage to Irene Wrightsman) and his new French bride also has a small child. The Princess could not have made a more smashing hit than she did romping and playing with the youngsters and chattering with them in French. They are just as devoted to her as she is to them — also well noted by Flynn, plenty lonesome for his little Rory at that time. The girl who has succeeded in taking Errol off the bachelor lists is Rumanian-born and before the advent of the Commies her family was wealthy and very high in social circles. She is 20 years old and just LOOOOVES emeralds. That is the main reason her engagement ring is a big emerald. I can tell you first-hand, because I spent quite a bit of time with them when I was in Europe last summer. * * * The gay and glittering parties which always start the holiday season, came with a rush, each one seeming more festive than the last. Your friend and mine, Clifton (Belvedere) Webb, said he was too old for anybody but his mother, Mabelle, to remember his birthday — so he tossed himself a party in his beautiful Spanish home. It was the first social appearance of the Tyrone Powers since their 18-month absence from Hollywood, and vivacious Linda was the center of all eyes in what was the most elaborate gown of the evening, a white, embroidered satin, created in Rome by the fabulous designer, Fontana. It was really the most beautiful dress I ever saw — entirely strapless and sleeveless and embroidered in flowers with rhinestone centers. She and Ty seem so happy and so in love. He was constantly coming over to her to plant a kiss on her cheek or on the top of her pretty hair. At the height of the party, many of Clifton's friends adjourned with him to the den to JANE POWELL BECOMES GEARY STEFFEN'S BRIDE WITH Three of the bridesmaids enter the church.
