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.
