"The Smart Set"

Our friends at Bonhams tipped us off to a fall auction of furnishings designed by legendary decorator William Haines. The sale will include over 30 lots designed for actress and radio personality Irene Rich (who boasts not one but two stars on the Hollywood walk of fame.) And what makes this sale even more special? The proceeds are going to charity. Now that's a happy ending.
