There Were about 4Q people, mostly young males, In the modest 1 v i n g retire, Ninety-four percent of them were drinking beer. The other six percent were drink- ing something else. Beer caps and empty vodka bottles fought for attention on the rug, which was a squishy meringue of spilled beer and cigarette ash. Some of the young gentlemen had propped them- selves in chairs and put their feet against the pristine wall, The old Dad's most cherished pass ession, a solid silver christening mug given him by his grandfather, lay on its side on the floor, a discarded beer- mug. The Dad, with a mighty ef- fort, forced himself to go around and Introduce himself. A few were civil, Most, includ- ing girls, sneered at him. Even- tually, because the party had be- come a drag with these old squares around, the guests left, in their own sweet time, lug- ging half a dozen beer cases.

The parents, solid folk, had recently retired. They bought a new home in a rather swanky development in a good-sired Canadian city, They have a 17-year-old datighter, nice kid, who lives with them. When my friends arrived to spend Christmas, it was obvious Ma had been busy. Everything in the new house was sparRling for their visit. She was proud of her home, and with reason. They had a pleasant Christ- mas. A couple of days later, the Four adults were invited to a party down the street, The teen- age daughter implored to have a few friends in for pop and music. Her mother gave in, specifying that 10 kids was the limit. The adults went to the party along the street, and enjoyed it. The conversation, as so often, turned to puzzlement over teen- agers. You know the sort of thing we old squares discuss; the switch-blade heroes; the de- butante party reported in Life, which wound up demolishing an old mansion; the couple in some distant place who came home and found their teenage daughter on the second night of a three- day, all-night party, in their home. Emerging from the party, at a circumspect hour in this cir- cumspect suburb, my friends and the parents were astonish- ed to see the quiet street lined with cars. What was up? They found out, in about two minutes. Every light was blaz- ing in their new home, and there was a sound of revelry by night whose location was unmistake- able. They hustled home.
