ABOUT THE COVER: Chris Darrell (Mr. Dubonnet) projects the elegance that will prevail during Palm Springs Life Magazine's four-day charity funfest December 6-9. The choice Dubonnet aperitif will be used in chafing-dish cookery on tram cars, luncheon to be served at the Top-of-the-Tram, and will be featured at 'The 400' Dubonnet Ball, climax of the event, which will spotlight top entertainment.
