Festive And Futuristic

Dress is "festive" for the Parrish Art Museum's annual Spring Fling dinner dance, to be held from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. Saturday in Southampton at the museum.

Cocktails and a buffet dinner catered by Thyme and Again will be served. A group called Time and Time Again (the caterer's cousins?) will provide music for dancing, and there will be a 50-50 raffle drawing.

Tickets, which cost $35 apiece, can be reserved by calling the Parrish Art Museum.

Also at the Parrish, Robert Heilbroner, an eminent economist and the author of several books, will give a lecture, "Thinking About the Future," at 3 p.m. on Sunday. He will focus on how the way we ponder the future has changed since World War II.

Mr. Heilbroner was an adviser to the Parrish and Southampton High School students as they created the current Parrish exhibit, "Dark Images, Bright Prospects: The Survival of the Figure After World War II."

The lecture is free for museum members. Nonmembers will be charged a fee.
