2. The predominance of the younger set at Kahkwa, making me realize we are approaching "middle age."

3. In spite of [[circled]] 2 [[/circled]], feeling rather young and sporty in my new tuxedo, which Maybelle spotted first as a new one and openly admired, and much satisfaction therefrom.

4. A desire to get into the swing of things at Kahkwa and the inability to do it, probably from lack of sufficient stimulation.

5. The impression Kay Williams Capps didn't look up to par and seemed to be slipping as the focus of all eyes.

7. Maybelle looking a little disappointed at the Kahkwa Club.

8. Walt Scarborough doing a lot to make himself the life of the party.
