This Week’s Cover
- Rather than be depressed by Mr. Dohanos’ soggy sense, note how the deluge has improved the situation. Any birthday party is fun, even if nothing more happens than the duly organized games, grub and eight fights between incompatible little boys. But to arrange for the routine confusion to be stopped so that the joyous chaos of a games party disdains by a cloudburst, that’s a charming innovation indeed. And how delightful it is to throw a party in or into a garage, where tools and other weapons are available for favors as well as paper hats, where joy can be so much more unconfined than in an ordinary living-room hullabaloo. Even that pony thinks, Bless the rain-no more work. Fortunately, there isn’t space here for what mother thinks.
