...party--a coming-out affair given by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Leas for their daughter, Miss Fernanda Wanamaker Weather-ill--developed into a frenzied free-for-all in the early hours of the morning of Sept. 1.

In the U.S., state legislatures have repeatedly yielded to various business groups that wanted to be exempted from Sunday closing. As a result U.S. blue laws are riddled with erratic contradictions. In Pennsylvania it is legal to sell a bicycle on Sunday, but not a tricycle; in Massachusetts it is against the law to dredge...
