The Fable of the Kittenish Super-Anns and the World-Weary Snipes (1916)
A Cove with the flossy Label of Adelbert Justitian came back to dazzle the Townsmen with the Wampum he had gathered. He learned that he would be expected to pull a few House Parties. The first week-end session was to be a Peace Conference for the antique Quackeydoodles and Speckled Hens. But the Second Party was to be a Hurrah Jubilee for the gay Debutantes and Blithe Lads from the Varsity. The Sears and Yellows arrived and from the first tap of the Gong the bridles were off. The Female Members of his old Sunday School Class began to blow Cigarette Smoke out of their Eyes, Ears and Nose. Before he could suggest Prehistoric Euchre, the loud needle was at work on the Ragamophone. A.J. saw reputable women with Grandchildren get right out in the middle of the Floor and slap Father Time in the Face. The Old Ones arose Monday all freshened up after having slept a Grand Total of 6 hours, since Saturday Night. With such exuberance A.J. feared that the rollicking Juniors, due the following week, would put his Home on the Fritz. When the Buds and Striplings came he found himself surrounded by Pale Young Women and Gloomy He-Whiffets, They hunted dim Corners and lapsed into Death-Chamber Conversations. A.J. tried to figure out why so many Young Lives had been Clouded. On Monday the chastened Host was glad to get them all off the place. Moral: Youth is the Time for Gravity.
