Just, however, as there would be something incongruous in Dink Stover's making his hideous blunder of giving two girls a lift in a straight-eight roadster, so Frank will look just a thought uncomfortable in the polo coat and pleated trousers of contemporary collegiate fashion. While he flourished mightily in an era when undergraduates sat along the campus fence and sang "Integer Vitae" and "Freshmen, Wake" of an evening, he could never be quite at home in the Dizzy Club while on a Manhattan week end, or participating in a perfumed and platinum Whitney Avenue cocktail party.

And I have come to the conclusion that the primary cause of their very hideous appearance lies in the fact that you have no good, healthy, beautifying drinks in America, and you wilfully prevent men from making proper use of the most glorious and beautiful produce of God's earth, namely, the vine. You could produce in America champagne which would be superior...
