"In spite of all the wild things printed, screened, and gossiped abou tthem, most house parties are pretty standard affairs, producing a variable quota of misunderstandings, shattered hearts, romantic alliances, and cigarette burns in the furniture..... the best, or worst, thing about house parties is that often they enable you to see what the girl of your dreams looks like at eight o'clock in the morning- scarcely a bewitching hour. The reverse is also true.  Your lady fair will see what you look like when, weazy-eyed and thick-mouthed, you come stumbling down for breakfast...."  $15
