.» Page TWELVE THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1962: f The Pinehurst Page MARY EVELYN de NISSOFF, Editor fELEPHONE OX 2-6512 TEEING OFE * WITH deNISSOFF Conventual Luxury A converted convent, now a luxury hotel, is the latest thing in tourist-bait. El Convento, located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is built around a center courtyard; bedrooms with sundecks open on wide- arched galleries facing the patio, where there is a large, deep, swim ming pool. What was once the church nave is now the hotel dining room, with 50-foot high ceiling and stained glass transoms. The cui sine is European, with the chef from the Ritz-Carlton in Paris; there is a great deal of woodwork from Spain and a set of iron gates from an old church in Spain. This is an unusual idea, but not entirely original. The Driftwood Inn in Vero Beach, Fla. features the central courtyard theme; meals there are served at long refectory tables reminiscent of the convent or monastery and old iron work, dark woods and tiles, imported from Spain, are used in the architecture. Departing guests, if approved by the man agement, are speeded on their way with the ringing of a convent bell. Closer to home; the Moore Country Club off Youngs Road in Southern Pines, where the hunter trial ball will be held Saturday evening, was formerly the con vent and academic building where the Sisters of the teaching order of Notre Dame de Namur lived. The Sisters taught elemen tary»and high school in the near by building which had been a stable; and plays and entertain ments were held in the auditori um, formerly the feed storage and tack room.

The vacation which is offered as one of the prizes, will be at the Holh' Tnn here sometime this summer-- the TV appearance will be in Charlotte and in other cities throughout the state.

Having won fame and fortune for his delightful ability to dissect traditions and customs of Ameri can “society,” Cleveland Armory comes to Pinehurst at the peak of a brilliant career as editor, writer, lecturer and humorist. His persuasive charm, youthful enthusiasm and affectionate re spect, combined with his own Proper Bostonian background, have magically unlocked doors of the Old Guard and the Unguard ed. Two long-run best-sellers are ample proof of his observant eye on the higher social echelons as well as of his rapier wit and genuine understanding of the oft- misunderstood folkways of social aristrocrats. Hilariously good reading, “The Proper Bostonians” and “The Last Resorts” are also historically im portant and have, as the New York Times noted, “already be come books of permanent value to all students of Americana.” On the platform Cleveland Amory has an unrivalled reputa tion as one of the most witty of raconteurs and trenchant of re porters of the American social scene of today and yesterday. Cleveland Amory was bom in 1917 in Nahant, Mass., rock-rib bed summer resort of the First Families. He grew up in Milton, attended Milton Academy and, of course. Harvard, developing bud ding literary talents on the Har vard Crimson. Following graduation in 1939, he served as a newspaper report er, edited the Postscripts page of the Saturday Evening Post, did a stint in Haywood and by 1945 had returned to Boston to under take “The Proper Bostonians,” now in its 16th printing.
