Making People Happy
Making People Happy is a light American comedy of manners by the journalist and playwright Thompson Buchanan. Cicily Hamilton, a bride of twenty married for a year, presides over the Civitas Club, a dozen society women, among them a militant English suffragette, whose meetings in her drawing room tend to dissolve into uproar. Meanwhile her husband Charles, a young businessman absorbed in his factory, keeps her out of his working life, and her wish to share it, along with her reforming zeal, puts the marriage to the test. Brisk dialogue and gentle satire of the reform movements of the day give the book its charm. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
