ON A PERSONAL BIAS by Bernice Peck

DIALOGUE RE CALVIN:  "Taht guy reeally is an obsession with with you," cracked my cynical friend Joe.  "If ever he starts a kitchen towel collection you'll quit using the dishwasher."

Joe eaggerates, but he's correct in one detail:  Calvin Klein is the champ influencer of our tiems, which include plenty of talented, persuasive deisgners. Calvin can make us all want whatever he puts his hand to.

Which at this moment means his Obsession clogne, which he's just translatd from its damey - and - how version to an equally cpomeplling but mannishly seductive scent for gents.

IT'S QUITE A NUMBER, ripe and rif with ambers, potent herbs, spies, all enhanced byt eh magical musks, Strong, lasting, no-kidding male.

Calvin says Obssession For Men is his "most personal design."  Okay, I say it's like everything he dreams up, innovative - and soemhow, different.  Even the bottle has a special virile look and feel.

Also, I love sniffing the scent on my friend Joe, who's not above suggetsing that more of it would be welcome than the skinny little advance sample vial I handed him for the tryout.  Your own Joe might Easily feel the same about a flask of it, $25 and up.

HIGH ROLLERS: Most fo the women devoted to the La Praire system of cellular skin care are on the wing - and often.

For them, this distinguished company has put up the basic products in half sizes, priced accordingly (ever so much simpler than making your own patient transfers into littler pots and bottles for a trip.  Everything's travel-proof and unbreakable, of course).

Wjatever your own skin's age and stage, "The Sizeable Difference Collection" wpould be a great way to start nourishing and imporvong it in the La Prarie method.  You're almost bound to become part of that 94 percent of the women who test this uniquely effective line and then stay with it.  Ask at the La Prarie counter at Saks Fifth Avenue and other upscale stores.  You'll be glad you did.

YOU'LL TAKE POISON:  Bloomie's recently turned its cosmetics dept. into a "peacock alley" to inroduce POISON, the new now-famous (adn infnously named) new Chrisitne Dior fragrance.  If you were there, and were given one of the well-sprayed peacock fetahers to take home, you know taht the name hasn't scared off customers - anythign but - and that the fragrance is still another Dior beauty.  Perfumers have such clever ways of grabbing our attention. And with this such a comeptitive world, why not, hey?

READING BITS:  In Judtih Krantz's new novel, I'll Take Mahattan, the main lady "creates a vibrating space around herself through sheer mesmerizing energy."  And at times "foamed into the room."  Miss Krantz, honey, your phrase-making abilities are known to be enviably awesome, but this time aorund you've exceeded even yourself.

"He was he straightest homosexual I ever met.  He made no feminine traits or mannerisms, even when in private among friends."  That's one perfectly valid reason so many of Rock Hudson's admirers were astoudned when his frewell book revealed a lifelong terror of detection.

Intestinal fortitude, etc.:  Walter Anderson's new book, Courage Is a Three-Letter Word, concerns itself with life's early, awful struggles - fear, anxiety and failure.  One of its particularly poignant lines, "what will I do when they find out I'm me?'  Soudn familiar to you, too?
