Cardinal O'Connor, displaying his famous four-corner red taffeta pillbox hat. He was renowned for doffing it at dinner parties, sticking his fingers in the corners, and opening and closing it to tell the fortune of the lucky person seated next to him. "He was a hostess' dream," recounts Mrs. Astor.

QUESTION
Dear Betty:
Why was Cardinal O'Connor sometimes called "Cardinal John O'Connor" and sometimes "John Cardinal O'Connor"?
Dear Reader:
Because "Haughty Miss Thing In That Fabulous Flowing Red Dress Living In That Expensive Mansion on Madison Avenue When Christ Told You To Live Simply And Use Your Money To Help The Poor" wouldn't fit on a place setting, dear.
Yours in Faith & Fashion,
