couldn't wait until Monday to seal his love with a ring. So they dashed to Hollywood Boulevard and the milliondollar screen lover bought his Pat a dime-store engagement ring.
The columnists saw to it, too, that Hollywood was completely informed about all the facts, pleasant and otherwise, of the Tierney-Cassini courtship. They knew that Gene and Count Oleg Cassini met at a party given by Connie Moore and Johnny Maschio. They sat together and groaned about life in general. Oleg asked Gene for a date so they could do some more groaning. Gene said that would be wonderful. Only they didn't groan any more.

Franchot was scowling and Jean was wondering what was the matter. Suddenly Franchot said, "Boys, I wish you'd sit back, or better still, go to another table. I want to be with the woman of my choice — alone." Which is a very different way of proposing. Nowadays Franchot prefers not to be alone with Jean. Not that he loves her less, but he loves his in-laws more. He says the
