...proved once more her essential femininity. She has changed her dress again. She has apparently changed her mind about just what sort of a girl she wants to be this season. No longer the demure young lady (with her moments of audacity to be sure), she will cut and curl her hair, wear a tailored suit, and thumb the pages of The World Tomorrow. And she has betrayed her womanhood most completely by a delightful bit of guile--by dating it November instead of September she has brought out her first issue on time...

Kaufman's skit in which two blase hotel guests discover that the house is on fire. Instead of leaving, they stay to entertain the firemen. As the flames curl outside the windows, one of the firemen telephones the office for the key to the next room. The other tunes a violin, giving the excuse: "Not enough time to practice at home."
