- This social crisis is worse than you think. The departing guests won’t mercifully continue on their way. They will pause and chat so long with the arriving throng that the hostess will have to cry merrily, “Isn’t this wonderful? Come on in, all of you, and let’s make an afternoon of it!” What the host will mutter isn’t for publication. The crowd won’t stay to supper, though; the darling children, gamboling together like little cats and dogs, will soon get everybody so lathered up that their parents will disentangle them and gladly go away in opposite directions. Hughes assures us that a situation like this has never been known to arise among his neighbors in Vermont—he says he has heard of it happening to a family in California.
