at home one day with Nancy White
by William Pahlmann
A fashion arbiter whose name
is to be reckoned with on at least
two continents is Nancy White,
peripatetic editor-in-chief of
Harper’s Bazaar. Miss White,
who may spend part of any
given week in London, Paris,
Rome, Florence or Madrid, but
whose base is New York City,
lives in three floors of a 19th-
century brownstone house just
off Fifth Avenue in the 90’s. In
private life, Miss White is Mrs.
Ralph Delahaye Paine Jr., and
mother of two daughters, Gil-
lette, who is married, and Kate,
who is just about to go off to
college. Miss White’s home is
the comfortable and ingrat-
iating home of a family.
Nancy White springs from a
family tradition. “I’m the eldest
of 5 children,” she says, ‘‘or the
eldest of 18 grandchildren, how-
ever you want to put it,” refer-
ring to the illustrious White
family. Her gandmother
emigrated to the United States
from Ireland around the turn of
the century. Her father was
Tom White, prominent news-
paper executive and president
of the Hearst Magazine Com-
pany for many years. Her aunts
were Christine Holbrook, a
leading home furnishings editor
with Better Homes and Gar-
dens, and the legendary Carmel
Show, who was an editor on
Vogue and, subsequently, long-
time editor-in-chief of Harper’s
Bazaar. Her uncle, Desmond
White, was an executive with a
steel corporation, and her
uncle, Victor White, a portrait
painter. Nancy grew up with a
sister and three brothers in
“The Mill,” an expansive
country house at Smithtown,
Long Island.
I called on Miss White
recently during one of the
busiest weeks of the season—
with fashion openings scheduled
every hour on the hour—but it is
symptomatic of Miss White that
she could make unflurried time
to see me, for she is known for
her graciousness. She is a
medium-tall dark blonde with
fine eyes and classic features,
and her beauty is illuminated by
her genuinely kind and consid-
erate nature and a kind of
flower freshness that springs
from immaculate grooming and
a simple elegance of taste which
is a triumph of sophistication. I
was greeted in the lower hall-
way of the house by a pleasant
house painter, who was apply-
ing white paint to the walls
(Miss White would no more
comsent to dingy walls than she
would to tattle-tale gray on the
white touches she wore on her
simple gray dress). I was con-
ducted upstairs to the living
room by a pleasant housekeeper
who immediately supplied me
with good, strong, hot coffee.
(Miss White would never con-
sent to pale, lukewarm coffee.)
The living room is almost
square, about 20 by 20 feet; in
fact, it is almost a cube, for the
ceiling is very high. There is a
simple, well-scaled fireplace on
one wall, made of orange
marble with a facing of black
marble veined in gold, original
with the house. The fireplace is
flanked on both sides with built-
in bookcases from floor to
ceiling, full of a vast collection
of books. On the entrance wall
and continuing under the ad-
jacent bookcase on that side of
the room is a built-in bar and
cabinet arrangement, with all
the accouterments out of sight.
They are stored in the cabinet,
whose top provides a setting for
numerous objects. To the left of
the wide entrance door on this

at Wilkes College
29, 30 and 31, according to Wil-
liam Gasbarro, chairman,
Wilkes College Department of
Music. He has named Richard
Chapline and Richard Probert
official hosts to the affair.
This marks the 19th year
when the best of college
choristers convene on the
campus of a designated Penn-
sylvania college or university
campus to prepare for the
annual concert, which this year
will be held Oct. 31. In the 1970
edition, 20 colleges will be
represented with the possibility
that late reservations may
exceed this number. Most of the
students are natives of Penn-
sylvania, although some name
as their resident state, New
York, New Jersey, Maryland,
New Hampshire, Massach-
usetts and Minnesota. During
their short visit the students will
be in residence on the Wilkes
campus.
wall there is a Victorian sofa,
one of several in the room,
covered in black horsehair. The
sofa is surmounted by an im-
pressive collection of miniature
paintings and photographs of
Miss White's family, hung in a
balanced arrangement and
centered by a group framed in a
single panel to provide focus
and balance.
Or. the wall opposite the fire-
place, there is an unusually
large Victorian sofa, with its
three cresting sections com-
pletely upholstered. This sofa is
covered in a red chintz with a
design of white dogwood and
green leaves. This flower-sprig-
ged fabric is repeated in a deep
valance over the three windows
on the window wall. Curtains
are plain off-white fabric. An
antique octagonal pedestal
table has been lowered to make
a cocktail table before this sofa,
which is flanked by two high-
backed Victorian chairs uphol-
stered in plain red. Centered
over the sofa is a fine Chippen-
dale hanging shelf, mirror-
backed, which holds a collection
of Staffordshire houses. Both
the shelf and the Staffordshire
collection were inherited from
her grandmother. A pair of
family portraits in oval frames
are hung on each side of the
Chippendale shelf, and a group-
ing of embroidered coats of
arms hangs beneath it.
Two small Victorian sofas,
upholstered in plain green, are
placed on each side of the fire-
place. There are small tables at
the ends of these sofas and a
number of such small tables are
used all over the room for con-
venience and comfort. A fine
pedestal sofa table, with end-
leaves extended, is placed
before the middle window on the
window wall, flanked by a pair
of beautiful painted side chairs
in the Duncan Phyfe tradition.
A high-back Voctorian side
chair, upholstered in red, is part
of the fireplace group. Over the
mantel hangs a portrait of
Nancy as a young girl, painted
by her uncle Victor on the occa-
sion of the first cropping of her
hair. “My mother cut it,”
Nancy says, ‘“‘and Uncle Victor
decided to paint me.”
A pair of exquisite child-size
chairs are drawn up to the low
octagonal table before the large
sofa. They are decorated black
lacquer with caned seats. All
the sofas are filled with needle-
point pillows, and the room is
amiably cluttered with family
mementoes and personal pos-
sessions, porcelains and fresh
flowers. All walls and corridors
of the living floor of the house
are off-white and the apartment
is carpeted throughout, from
wall to wall, with a rich, bright-
red carpet. A small crystal and
bronze chandelier, wired for in-
direct lighting, hangs in the
living room.
The stairwell is lined with
original drawings and paintings
by Ludwig Bemelmans, and the
halls on the upper floors are
filled with groups of fashion
drawings by Yves St. Laurent.
Sketches and drawings are
hung throughout the house.
The dining room, off the living
room, is unorthodox in arrange-
ment, since the dining table is
off center and not in the middle
of the room. An unusual bil-
liard-table chandelier hangs
over the dining table. A large
American breakfront in pale
wood is filled with fine china.
The red of the carpet is picked
up in a red-ground chintz with a
design of ‘white flowers and
green leaves in the curtain of
the large window which over-
looks the charming rear garden
of the house.
Miss White’s bedroom is
white-walled and pastel in
coloring, with a red carpet. The
furniture is French and the
room is filled with personal sou-
venirs and bibelots. Her daugh-
ter’s bedroom was in the
process of redecoration. It is
being converted into a bed-
sitting room for guests, since
her college-age daughter is on
the point of occupying a small
apartment on the first fllor of
the house. Walls in this room
were receiving a fabric treat-
ment of printed ticking in blue
and white, sprinkled with flower
springs of red, brown and beige.
This highly individual house
is filled with interesting things
and exudes an aura of good
living and ready hospitality for
a diverse and cosmopolitan
circle of family and friends. The
Paines divide their time be-
tween the townhouse and week-
end houses in Connecticut, New
Hampshire and Vermont,
though Nancy says she some-
times feels that she lives in her
luggage.
Miss White has been present-
ed with the rank of Knight in the
Order of Merit by the Italian
government and with the silver
Medal of Merit by the Spanish
government. She is also the re-
cepient of the New York
Fashion Designers award and
the Silver Medal of the Anti-De-
famation league for ‘‘her
concern for the cause of human
dignity,” and she was appointed
to the National Council on the
Arts by President Johnson. She
is the past president of the New
York Fashion Group and one of
the leading spirits in the work of
the Lighthouse for the Blind. In
her spare time, she plays
tennis, and very well too. If
Miss White looks youthful for
the weight of her honors and
distinctions, it is because she is.
She made her first trip to Paris
to view the collections at the age
of 17 and was the full-fledged
fashion editor of Pictorial Re-
view when she was 18 years old.
She subsequently served for 10
years as fashion editor of Good
Housekeeping magazine.
The pressures and perquisites
of an important executive in the
communications industry have
never altered Miss White's es-
sential femininity or beguiling
modesty. She is the living proof
that a lady will always be in the
forefront of fashion.
