Amazing

Too funny that I thought Fitzgerald was writing about traffic jams, in 1925.  Actually, that passage was about TRAIN cars - I just misread it the first time.  Made myself laugh at least.  I also laughed about the magazine Mrs. Wilson bought - it was about "moving pictures."  Those were still the days of silent films - everything we take for granted was so new then.  At this point, can you imagine no sound in the movies?  Just a few placards strategically placed and everything else left to your intuition and imagination.  Sounds like fun - kind of like Mystery Theater 2000 where they made up their own dialogue for movies.
