Frivolity and Waste.

A fashion craze is at its height. Sure
~ women we're never SO extravagant
and reckless in their expenditures as
now. The mania spreads to all
classes. Rebounding from the forced
economy that the financial crlsls
brought upon all, they seem to throw
off all restraints. 1t is not the young
women alone or the idle, frivolous class
who do nothing but read novels anu
fashion books and costumes themselves,
but the aged and the mothers. and the
little children; not the rich alone, bnt I
the working classes and the poor. TO

not able to afford it.. They are living

in any one branch of business would
