KATHAR1NE HEPBURN IS THE ONLY movie star 1 know who lives right around i the comer from me. It’s a brownstone k house on East 49th Street in Manhat-m tan, and sometimes her chauffeur is sitting outside in the car, waiting to take her shopping or up to Connecticut, where she has a country place. A few years ago, we had a big snowstorm, and a neighbor reported that Miss Hepbum, who was then about 75 years old, was out shoveJing the sidewalk and the stoop.

“Miss Hepbum, why areyou shoveling the snów?” he demanded.

“Because it’s on the ground,” the great lady sensi-bly replied and went right on shoveling.
