Milkers

Up to Manhattan's swank Park Lane Hotel one noon last week rolled a truck bearing two pure-bred Holstein-Friesian cows named Nysia Maggie Titanic de Kol and Nysia Maid Gertrude. Two white-robed attendants tethered them in fresh hay in the hotel's garden, then painstakingly inspected their gleaming hides & hoofs for specks of dirt. To make news for a charity benefit the two Nysias were that night to be milked by Manhattan's lushest debutantes. First prize: silver cigaret & vanity case. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the more serious girls arrived to inspect the cows, learn what they could of milking's art. Boasted Debutante Carol Prichitt: "I once lived on a farm. . . . You know, it had a house at one end and we used to grow radishes." Only successful rehearsers were Donna Marina Torlonia (who once milked a Philadelphia cow) and Princess Dolly Obolensky (whose family once owned some cows in France). At midnight the cows were wakened from sleep for the contest. Chattering debutantes, dressed in sport clothes, trooped from the dance floor and lined up. Blushing attendants led them one by one to the proper spot. From a cautious distance 20 debutante milkers took turns pulling & squeezing at Nysia Maggie Titanic de Kol and Nysia Maid Gertrude, produced a total of one cupful of grade A milk.
