0 h, this old place," jo~ed Audrey Geisel, grin- ning as she surveyed the splendors of San Diego's spanking new Hotel Inter-Continental. "I," she said, "have been down here every day. I love it!" Party followed party after party last week as the new Harbor Drive laI?dmark declared itseH officially open, and lots of the same faces turned up at all of them. Reba Brophy, for instance, swept into the Grand Ballroom Saturday night wearing the white dress she had first worn Wednesday afternoon in the same spot - modeling for the All Hallows Women's Guild at the 10th annual "Spirit of San Diego" fashion show. Saturday's gala was a benefit for the Philip Y. Hahn School of Nursing at the University of San Diego. The Inter-Continental people and Douglas Manchester (his firm built the new caravansary) picked up the lion's share of the party costs, and other benefactors took care of the rest. Every penny of it. In a thank-you toast, USD President Author Hughes disclosed that the night will add "somewhere in the neighborhood of $125,000 to $150,000" to the school's nursing scholarship fund. Midshipmen in snappy white uniforrus were on hand to steer the 500 guests to a cbampagne reception

Beverly and Bill Muchnic doo-wahing along with the band's doo-wahs. Ballads like "I'll Never Smile Again" made dancing ·partners of Maureen King and Tom Finn, Agnes Crip- pen and Jack Lewis Powell. And when Lanin cut loose with some raucous rock, Ruth Mulvaney and Charles Melville had no trouble keeping up with the youthful midshipmen and the junior hostesses. (The juniors - who handled the party's check-in chores - included Molly, Katy and Sally Manchester, Jennifer Schultz, Courtney Crockett, Jean Comito, Kim Middleton, Nicole Johnson, Amy Cavanaugh, Theresa and Kristin King and Kimberly Amory. Among the 19 midshipmen were some from this area, including Douglas Sanvictores, Dalour Younan, Daniel Mishler, Patrick Maloy, Michael Casper, Brian Clark, Lawrence Laughlin and Stephen Smith.) It was a big night for short dresses. Mary Hazard and Marie Dunphy chose above-the-ankle hemlines, and so did Rosemary Logan, Donis Lovett, Jean Paige and Suzanne Figi. (Suzanne had just returned from cooking classes taught by Wolfgang Puck, the Los An- geles chef who made his name at Ma Maison, then went on to greater glory at Spago and Chinois.

in the foyer, and then on to their tables in the ball- room. Forty-four waiters were lined up at attention when Maestro Lester Lanin played the first fanfare. Then the band slid smoothly into "Just in Time." Round tables were centered with bamboo poles supporting bursts of dendrobium and cattleya orchids, gardenias, moss, galax and ti leaves. (Credit Richard Widney with those fantasies.) The menu ran to vichys- soise, seafood crepes, medallions of veal, and a salad that involved Boston lettuce, chopped walnuts, crum- bled goat cheese and a dressing of walnut oil and lemon. Three dance floors - three, count 'em, three - were packed the whole night long. The Walter Zables and the Robert Adelizzis found ''New York, New York" irresistible, and "It Don't Mean a Thing" had Marlene and Bill McElroy, Isabel and Bob Morris and

The crowd included couples like Marilyn and Kim Fletcher (Kim recalled the 25th anniversary celebration of the Inter-Continental in Lisbon), Kirk and John Butler, Sally and John Thornton (John recuperating from back surgery, and walking with a cane), Karen and Christopher Sickels, Virginia and Jack Monday, the George Pardee;, Martha and George Gafford, Phyllis and John Parrish, ~rbara and Frank Hope, the John Whitneys, and Susan and Harry Summers. (Susan and Harry were married a couple of months ago at Lake Tahoe; now they're looking forward to finishing their new oceanfront house in Del Mar - next door to Joanne and Frank Warren.) Elsie and Frank Weston were there to support USD, and so were Edna and John Alessio, Maggie and Dr. John Mazur (Maggie masterminded the party plans), Sue and Dr. Charles Edwards, Mavourneen and Dr. Tom Kravis ( avourneen in satin-striped chiffon by Bill Blass), Jane and John Murphy, Connie and Bob Golden, Esther and Dr. Edmund Keeney, Richel and Tawfiq Khoury (Richel in traplcss black by Nina Ricci), the Dan Mulvihills, Jane and Rear Adm.

Doug Manchester sported a Lanin hat, and his black- and-white bow tie was a conversation piece, too. (It was a subtle plug for the upcoming Jewel Ball - "White Tiger & Tails" - planned by chairwoman Carol Baumer, who saw to it that her husband and Manchester and Jon Bilger all wore tiger-striped ties to the party.) Dr. Irene Palmer, dean of the Hahn School of Nursing, voiced brief but eloquent thanks ("I never knew we bad so many friends!"), and Manchester proposed a toast to the memory of Muriel Hahn, "the inspiration and driving force" behind the nursing school named for her husband. "Muriel Hahn is here tonight in spirit," said Manches- ter. "That's why we're having such a good time." • • • T be Padres' Steve Garvey was master of ceremo- nies for a fashion/luncheon that packed the Inter- Continental ballroom earlier in the week. It was the annual salute to San Diego club women staged by the All Hallows Women's Guild. Saks Fifth Avenue supplied the clothes, and Marianne Gotfredson and Helen Pickard were the women in charge. The models of honor - representing organizations like Children's Hospital, Junior League, Las Damas Latinas, Globe Guilders, and more - included Tish Breihan, Katy McKay, Nell Waltz, Sue Teasdel, Maude Butler, Laurie Blackington, Dawn Mattiesen, Karen Nelson and Donna
