New Year resolutions hit by Prohibition talk and burlesque
In a feisty New Year letter from Great Neck, Lardner argues that men and women alike will fail to quit drink and other habits this year.

He mocks reformers and notes how industries tied to indulgence would suffer, urging a practical embrace of existing habits to avoid economic chaos.
