"This is Mazie's day," said Trieia Nixon Cox at the Westhampton Beach, N.Y., wedding of her sister-in-law Mary Ann Livingston Delafield Cox (daughter of the Socially Registered Howard Coxes) and Brinkley Stimson Thorne, who like his bride is a graduate of the Yale School of Architecture. Trieia was in pink chiffon and Husband Ed wore a dark gray pin-stripe suit, but many of the guests came in jeans or granny dresses. Mazie started out in her great-aunt's ivory satin wedding gown and ended up hi a bathing suit and Indian shirt. For the ceremony itself, the guests were arranged in a circle symbolizing the Cheyenne medicine wheel. Later, a magician "levitated" the newlyweds and finally made them disappear In a puff of smoke.

-Woody Allen, 37, the bespectacled funnyman who has schlemieled his way through a series of hit movies including Play It Again, Sam, is in dead earnest about playing Dixieland jazz. Allen has just begun his second year as a regular Monday-night combo clarinetist at Michael's Pub, a Manhattan swingles' waterhole. It happens that Woody's next movie Sleeper is about a clarinet player, but Director Woody decided not to give himself the part.

Bob Hope, 70, is celebrating his 23rd year on TV and with Actress Ann-Margret, 32, enacts his version of the Billie Jean King/Bobby Riggs tennis match. Playing out of a phone booth while talking to his agent, occasionally reading a magazine, looking at her backward through a mirror or milking a cow, "Bobby Higgs" is handily beating an irate "Billie Jean Margret." Until she starts doing bumps and grinds, at which point he strips down to star-spangled shorts and starts a verbal rally. "I've a better forehand, backhand and much prettier legs," Higgs boasts. "Are those your legs?" lobs Billie Jean Margret. "I thought they were two obsolete road maps. I dig antiques." Smash. Game. Show.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower's career as a third-grade teacher in Jacksonville, Fla., was halted the day after it started by a book cart that fell on her foot and broke her toe. Now, two years after the accident, Julie, who holds a master's in education, is returning to work as a $10,000-a-year editor for four children's magazines owned by Curtis Publishing Co. A White House spokesman said that Julie decided to get a job when she realized that her husband David Eisenhower, who is entering law school at George Washington University, "will be studying all the time." She will work partly at home in Bethesda, Md., partly at her publisher's offices in Indianapolis. Her commuting fare will be paid by her employer; her Secret Service man's fare by the Government.

British Author J.B. (John Boynton) Priestley, 79, who has outlived most of his literary rivals, has just come out with his 99th publication, a book entitled The English, whom many of his admirers think he epitomizes. In London, one of his plays, An Inspector Calls, has been restaged at the Mermaid, and another, Eden End, is slated as a tribute from the National Theater Company in April. Even his native Bradford, which Priestley has written about none too kindly, conferred the freedom of the city on him. As for growing old, Priestley explained what it was like: "It is as though walking down Shaftesbury Avenue as a fairly young man, I was suddenly kidnaped, rushed into a theater and made to don the gray hair, the wrinkles and the other attributes of age, then wheeled onstage. Behind the appearance of age I am the same person, with the same thoughts, as when I was younger."

The nostalgically costumed dancing audience looked like leftovers from that famous last tango in Paris. But the scene was Manhattan's huge, tacky Roseland Ballroom, and the crowd was bebopping to '30s songs like Minnie the Moocher. The occasion: The Pointer Sisters' highly hooplaed New York debut, hard on the spike heels of their hit album, simply titled The Pointer Sisters. "We're not rhythm and blues or jazz. We're a new category -variety," declared Ruth, the oldest of the four daughters of an Oakland preacher. The quartet mixed jive talk with Lambert, Hendricks and Ross-like jazz and performed some marvelously energetic and ornate scat that called down visions of Cab Galloway.

"I think the Miss America program is moving along, looking for another kind of woman," explained Winner for 1974 Rebecca Ann King to the Today Show's Barbara Walters as they discussed this year's consciousness-raised Atlantic City pageant. Certainly the former Miss Colorado showed herself to be one of a new breed. Her eyes remained dry throughout her coronation. When her sister said she expected to see Becky cry only on her wedding day, Becky retorted: "That's not a very realistic possibility," adding that she might not even get married. Ms. America, an Iowa farmer's daughter and college graduate, has other plans first, like law school and a juvenile court judgeship.

When Cincinnati Clockmaker Joseph Bochenek took his son Chris, 12, to visit George Wallace in Montgomery, it was not to offer the Alabama Governor his political support. Bochenek wanted Wallace's support for his own drive to raise funds for research into spinal injuries and to boost his son's morale. Young Chris lost the use of his legs when a friend accidentally shot him in the spine just five days before the assassination attempt on Wallace. When the two paralytics got together, it was obvious that they were not down in spirits. Counseled Wallace: "The fact that we're in this position doesn't preclude a useful and pleasurable life." Replied Chris, who manages to play baseball and even touch football and who since his accident has learned to ride a horse and do wheelchair tricks: "That's it in a nutshell. We can't stand up, but there are so many other things we can do."

Helen Gahagan Douglas, 72, the former actress whom her opponent in the 1950 California Senate race dubbed the "Pink Lady" because of her supposed links with the Communist Party ("[She] is pink right down to her underwear,"declared Richard Nixon), has turned up again, on the cover of Ms. magazine.

Living in Vermont with her husband of 42 years, Actor Melvyn Douglas, the ex-politico has been watching the Watergate hearings and raking up old memories. Among them: voting against a House resolution that would have forced all Executive agencies to make confidetial information available to Congress -a bill fellow California Representative Nixon voted for.
