Thanksgiving Diets and Local Party Plot Twists in Destin
In humorous prose a narrator laments America's overeating and diet fads after Thanksgiving. The piece weaves in party plans at Ida Burritt's home in Destin, jokes about diet promises, and encounters with Ida Scott, Ed Forrest, Essie, and a Pekinese Emperor Chin. A Village Players audition invitation closes the note as Destin, now cosmopolitan, hosts a lively mix of guests and chatter.
