treaties the Witherspoon girl gathered
as many men victims as she had girls
(girlS don't know any better than to
go wherever they are invited) and gave
her party. 1t was not advertised as "a
tacky'' party but it was. all right. You
know the sort: People sitting awk-
wardly and self-consciously around a
room waiting for something to start:
the hostess wondering why the rest
didn't come and the others wondering
why they did; the usual stiffness, stu
pidity, dullness and formality that seem
to be inseparable from entertaining.
There is something about the average
party that makes even clever, interest
ing and original people dull and heavy,
something which precludes spontaneity,
naturalneSS or any sort of comfortable,
profitable or enjoyable association. The
WitherSpoon girl wasted enough time
and energy at the telephone issuing
invitations and receiving acceptances
and regrets for her party to make her
self a shirt waist which she needs much
worse than any of her guests needed a
dab of ice cream, a spoonful of straw
berries, square of white cake, a square
of dark cake and piece of fudge. No
body had good time, the hostess least
of all. There isn't one person in a
hundred, of all the people who give
parties and thus keep food in the
mouths of society reporters, who would
otherwise, perhaps, do some useful work
in the world, who have talent for hos

Topeka who lived in one room in a

bore to those who attend. Nine times
out of ten it would be an infinite relief
