Houseparties

Festivities this fall were entered into with bated breath, for they seemed experimental more than anything else. Just by the bye, two or three houses didn't have parties—the first concrete expression of depressionism up here in some while. However, given fine and then indifferent weather, they went off successfully, if not with quite the usual carefreeness. A kind of restraint was exercised all around, with satisfactory results. This is in no way a prediction—but it seems that the checking put on last Spring has had the desired result in a saneness which wasn't at all noticeable six months ago.
