This last minute meal business is nothing new for Elizabeth, of course. At her mother's house, dinner might be mentioned for eight o'clock, and sometimes it would be ten before Elizabeth appeared with her guests. Then it was Mrs. Taylor's job to soothe the servants. Elizabeth will have to take lessons from her mom in that highly specialized department. Nicky and Elizabeth are either very trusting or very careless about their personal possessions. They invariably leave the front door of their house, not only imlocked, but open! And inside all their silver and jewelry remain unguarded. (Memo to Liz and Nicky: For heaven's sake put a strong lock and an alarm on the door now or you will be burglarized.) Then there's the smoking. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for it, if that's what a girl wants to do. But Elizabeth's current cigarette sessions are very much frowned on by her mother, who would rather Elizabeth stayed as fresh and imspoiled for as long as possible. Well, I've news for Mrs. Taylor, and I hope it won't be a shock. Elizabeth did smoke before the marriage and it was none of Nicky's doings. She just wanted to, like most young girls do. But she didn't want to hurt her mother's feelings, so she smoked secretly like thousands of dutiful daughters before her and after her. Personally, I think if she wants to smoke, it's better to do it in the open. Tf^HENEVER the story gets on the air or into print that Elizabeth and Nicky have had another battle, the four people most upset are the two mothers and the two fathers of the spatting couple. Especially Mrs. Taylor, because she has lived her whole life for and with Elizabeth, and she cannot conceive of anyone in the world who would dare to hurt her little girl. Even before the marriage, Mrs. Taylor was so upset at something Nicky said to Elizabeth that she went off somewhere and no one could find her. When her daughter returned to Hollywood from Europe accompanied by those hard-to-imderstand stories of the beautiful bride neglected while the groom gambled, Mrs. Taylor was beside herself, and desperately unhappy. Elizabeth, always loyal to Nicky, defended him to her mother and denied everything. Actually, despite the arguments they may have, they do love each other, and if only they can learn to keep the battles in the boudoir where no one can hear them, they might have a real chance for happiness. Because as it is, stories about them spread like wildfire. And if Liz isn't careful, people may start saying that the bruises she received in a recent airplane accident were administered by Nicky himself. (The plane, heading for New York, crashed through a wooden fence at the end of a rain-soaked runway and made an emergency landing at Long Beach, California.) That brush with death, incidentally, is doing more right now than all the doting advice in the world to make these two realize that only their love is important, and that all the spats, temperamental outbursts, and the like are just plain trivia. Naturally, they valued their love before this accident. So far, after every fight, they have kissed and made up, and Nicky couldn't do enough for Elizabeth. He showered her with all sorts of expensive presents to say he was sorry. But the realization that a power not in their control is capable of separating them, should bring them m.aturity, and less and less things to be sorry for. Nicky, for whom life was always so simple — when he used to gamble, no one made a headline of it; when he quarrelled with a girl, no one cared — can't seem to accept the fact that marriage to a movie star makes him news. I've heard it said — never from Nicky or Elizabeth — that in order to stop the non-stop rumors, he will ask his wife to give up her career. If anything else were needed to break Mrs. Taylor's heart, this would be it. But I don't beUeve Nicky would ever ask this sacrifice. I think he enjoys being married to such a beautiful and famous movie star. I also believe that he wants the marriage to last "until death do them part." Nicky is very reUgious — ^he attends Mass regularly. It would be a very serious matter for Nicky with his chiurch if his marriage vows were to be lightly tossed aside. That is why, as soon as the separation stories reappeared recently when he was in Las Vegas without Elizabeth, who was in Palm Springs without Nicky, he cut short the hotel business which he said had taken him there. He then drove to the desert and spent one whole day with his wife, hand-holding by the pool of the Racquet Club — "so that everyone can see that we have not separated." Then he returned alone to their home here. But when I talked to Elizabeth on the telephone next day, she told me, "I'm coming home from Palm Springs. I needed the rest, but I want to stop the rumors that we are separated." "The "rumors" were potent enough to bring Elizabeth's mother rushing back from New York to be close at hand in case of a call for help from her daughter. But I don't think Elizabeth is ever going to give that "yoo hoo." She's very proud, and as of this writing, she's more sure than ever that Mrs. Nicky Hilton will be her name for keeps. Although, with Elizabeth, or with any bewUdered child, you can't predict. "C'oR instance, after the brief separation in New York that time when the honeymooners landed from the Queen Elizabeth, she called her mother to the phone in Beverly Hills, and cried her heart out long distance. "Don't worry, baby," Mrs. Taylor soothed her weeping daughter, "I'll take care of everything, don't worry." Half an hour later she called back to tell Elizabeth, "I've arrcinged to have you flown back immediately to Hollywood." But by that time Elizabeth and Nicky had kissed and made up and wild horses couldn't drag her home — ^not to mention a plane. In fact, she was angry with her mother for suggesting any such thing! Incidentally, the story that Elizabeth has broken with her motiier and is refusing to see her carmot be true, because when I talked to Mrs. Taylor yesterday she told me she expected Nicky and EUzabeth for dinner that same night. Elizabeth is generously extravagant. So is Nicky. With her first sizable pay she bought her mother a car. With all the dozens of dresses in her fabulous trousseau, she bought more clothes in New York on her return from Europe, and lots more dresses locally. Nicky has never stopped to count the cost of anything — when you love to gamble you don't. So they don't save much. And contrary to popular belief, Nicky is not a millionaire — only his father is. Of course, yoTing Hilton does have a trust fund which gives him $12,000 a year — a fortime for all, except a few, twenty-three year olders. But peanuts for a boy with Nicky's penchant for poker (Elizabeth
