The piece spoofs social climbing and fashion in America noting how wealth display drives envy and conversation. It contrasts lavish dress and dining with a ballroom scene where husbands fear the scrutiny of elegant rivals. It closes by picturing a genteel tea time game on Long Island with ceremonial sportwear and orderly tea service.
