During Gatsby's party Jordan and Nick ran into a few girls who had been to the parties before. Most was just small talk to be polite, but within the small talk I obtained details of Gatsby purposly hidden by Fitzgerald, to give you an idea of what kind of man he really is. A lady name Lucille says "When I was here last I tore my gown on a chair, inside of a week I got a package from Croirier's with a new evening gown in it." Someone else commented saying he sent the dress because he doesn't want trouble with anybody. Either way, Fitgerald was definitly thinking when he added this comment. It gives the reader a chance to already have their own perception of Gatsby. Letting them think that he is a man in trouble, or just a man who likes when people enjoy his parties will make it more interesting when Gatsby is actually introduced into the story.
