NEW YORK - Monte Car- *io. killed off socially a few fyears ago when a lot of the Idregs of the international set hon washed up there like beached i^ bairacuda (and stayed), hasmore or less risen from the I• ashes this year thanks to the iinflux of some perfectly lovely vw people. • trj The cultured Gerald Van der aKemps (he’s the curator of fVersailles) are always about, prl and Princess Ashraf, the Shah v^ of Iran’s twin sister, can be a• seen playing at the casino, £;r' .where she is a steady custom- 3^ er. And then there’s PrinceQ(J Rajsingh of Rajpipla — Pippy s. for short. Pippy pops in and Jout. dragging his prestige be- ahind him. a“ Pippy’s mother, the wid- sowed Maharanee of Rajpipla, ^is a Scottish lady born in Lon- tldon, which could account for ethe fact that Pippy doesn’t t!have a tunic to his name. He ghad the traditional diamond vand ruby tunic buttons left him by his late father made into Eearrings and rings for his t]mother and sister, the beauti- tlful Princess Premilla. Now ftse that’s a darling brother. che Completely westernized, hia- Pippy is dressed, head to toe, Etty by Savile Row. Six feet four djw inches, needle skinny, the In- INbi- dian prince has an encyclo- Esc- pedic knowledge of horses apd hsi- is one of the foremost authori-_ ties on English and French y. racing news at British and TFrench tracks for London pub- e^ lications. Dear old Pippy les picked the English Derby awinner, which made him hot S,m as a pistol in racing circles. So tlnow he’s penned a guide for fl, betting freaks, “How to Lose HLess ~ and Win More.” Can tiia“ we wait till it hits America? _Pippy’s late father, a polo |ri- enthusiast, owned a big racing 1an stable and got into English 1ty racing through his friend, the.-Ip old Aga Khan. Pippy learned Ito read the racing form at ||daddy’s knee and, from the 1minute he was old enough, ||never missed a day at Ascot. 1When Barbara Waiters went to ifEurope to cover Longcamps |iand interview royal personali- Ities she devoted a large seg- |I ment of her show to Pippy. He 1was a witty, funny smash. §Rags to Riches
