Since the Masheks -- Chan is Texas tycoon Ed Cox's daughter -- split, John Mashek has settled in a new house on Middle Road in Palm Beach, where he's giving a dinner Saturday night. But he'd really rather the world didn't know. He says it's private. Sorry about that.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wyllis Scripps (Ed and Betty for short) of the Scripps League Newspaper empire, bought Caroline Lynch Firestone's house, just next door to Karnak, their oceanfront property in Palm Beach. Supposedly it cost a pretty penny, like $5 million. Then Betty Scripps had Caroline's place totally demolished (it was old anyhow), the better to build an oceanfront garden suitable to the splendors of Karnak. Look at it this way -- think of the money they'll save on florist bills.
