He credits the flapper with putting fun into soclety. It is now made up of a number of sets, he’ declares, in which any man or woman can find something hé or she likes and ‘“es- cape the necessity for attending the terribly formal and boring rounds of set functions which constituted the social life in, say, Mrs. Astor’s day.” JUDGE EVENS SCORE.
