Once upon a—time, I suppose,

14:- PARTY „
•Nowadays, the • cocktail party
a social monster with • 44 • tales*.
and one .great big fat head..
First, t.here's the. guest list tc •
prepare. This is a lot of fun, and
takes only three weeks. It is in- „.
terspersed with remarks like,
"What" did, they ever do .f�r us?";
and, "Well, you may think she's'
terrific, but r can't stand her."
The list includes* the names of
ell the people you "owe" hospi-
tality to. This means the couple
wh6 took you for a ride in their
crumby boat last summer, and
soaked you to the ,skin in the
process. And the neighbors who
called'you over for charred Rare -
ribs one evening when their ek"
pected guests. had enough sense
not to t1.1111 111),
Also all the people ,.whO invited
You, to one -of their cocktail par, '
ties during the last three years,
and the couple who sent you a
• . •
Christmas card and whom you
had cut .off your list, and the
people down the block who loek-
ed after your dog the day you
were at the Wedding, and the
couple you don't. kno* kilt who
look 'interesting." - • -

'You now have eleventy-seven
names, on your list. So you • start •4

and Mabel are given the axe be- •
cause Joe always gets stoned.
Miriam and Elmer go down the •
drain because Miriam always v , ' -1,1) , •
starts a fight just because Elmer
is a bit of a girl -squeezer.

Then .there's the booze problem.
This produces an agonizing session
of elementary mathematics, which • _
results in a reasonable figure, , •

which ,you then double. . • • ^

And then there's the food bus- • .4.,

in the afternoon has any inte.n-
tion of •going home until he has •
eaten about five dollars worth ot
the :only can ,of smoked oysters
you've ever bought in your life.
.flut these 'are all onthe sur-
face, byproduct kicks. .The real
delight of the cocktail party, as
we all know, is the conversation.
Where else do the girls get a
chance to hare their souls almost
as thoroughly as their bosoms?
Where ,eL,se ,can you hear 'a chap
tell the • same story ' he" told at
the last three cocktail parties, and
tell it even, better?
When 1 started writing this • ,
coluinn, 1 was feeling a bit jaded,, •
a trifle critical of • the • cocktail
party. But during the process, 1
.have come . to realize that there's .."
nothing quite like it in • Moder"'
society.- Nothing. „ •
Unless it might be throwing
