only typifled that passion of the race for
splendid apparel and accessories, which
IN our day, has reached point of general
and prodisal pomp and ostentation.
No other highly civilized nations have
inns taste for personal parade and luxuri-
Gus living 70 the same extent. The
French, who enjoy a reputation for all
that is pretty and elegant, are really par
slmonious; and it is as natural for a
Erenchman to hoard his money as il is
for dog to bury his bone while a Dutch
man or German can grow rich on the
salary which keeps an American always
scrambling on the verge of bankruptcy.
Some time ago Lord Derby said, Eng
lishmen are the most extravaga race in
the world, or, at loast, only surpassed by
the Americans" And the "surpassing''
in this direction is SO evident Ito any one
familiar with the two countries that it
requires no demonstration an American
household, even in the middle classes, be-
ing model school for throwing away the
most money for the least possible re-
turns.
American women have a reputation for
lavish expenditure that is world wide, but

moderation are beautiful, in excess they
are vulgar and even disagreeable. The
Greeks, who made no mistakes about
beauty and fitness, contented themselves
with garland and a rose for their wine
cup. They would never have danced and
feasted and welded themselves in a
charnel house of dying flowers.
Our dressing and dining is done on the
same immense scale. Lucullus might
preside at our feasts, and queens envy
the jewels and costumes of our women.
Perhaps the slze of the country and its
iranscendent possibilities in every direc.
ton instinctively incite those who have
the means to lavishness of outlay. People
who live under bright high skies, and
whose horizons are wide and far reach
ing, imbibe a largeness of expression
which is not satisfied with mere words.

advantages.
Or course, it is easy to say that Ameri-
cans are lavish, because, as DR.. Watts
puts II, lit is their nature to-" but the real
reason for the overgrown luxury of tho
last two or three decades is to be found in
the rapid increase of the vulgar rich, the
very last class worthy of our imitation.
Are not the absurd blunders of tho moor
man who strikes oil a common subject for
witticisms and stories? Well, the whole
American nation has, in a partial sense,
struck oil and in more partial sense

and the East and West are fast becoming
fused. not by the power of the sword. nor
through community of creed or taste, but
in the potent alembic OF commerce.
Wealth comes in every port, and
wealth, in spite of all our fine talk about
the influence of birth, etc, wealth makes
social equality. Consequently, as the
world grows richer the area Of society is
much larger and includes all people rich
enough to fulfill its requirements. But the /
size of the area has lowered the stan

MADAME. the husband and
wife are equally extravagant, and the
candle blazes away at both ends.
To foreigners, the most noticeable ex-
travagance of Americans is the matter of
flowers. Winter or summer, women of
very modest means, must have flowers for
their girdle. They will pay so cents for a
rose or two. when half dollars are by no
means plentiful, and it is such a pretty
womanly taste that no man has the heart
10 grumble at it-only if the women them
selves would add up the amount of money
spent in this transitory luxury, say dur
ing three months, they would be aston
ished at their own thoughtlessness. For
of all pleasure, flower buying is the most
evanescent; before tho day is over the
fading buds are cast into the refuse
cart and tho money might just as well
have been cast into the street.
As for the amount spent in floral dis

balls and dinners, il must be presumed
that people who thus waste hundreds of
dollars on articles that arc useless in n
few hours have the hundreds of dollars
to throw away, and that they enjoy the
pastime of making floral ducks and brakes
with their money. But If they do not en-
joy it. then why do they not initiate the

MONEY BAG. society is, il has the
enormous advantage of being there, and
few people can afford to live against 1t.
For to do as every one else does, and to go
with the stream, is so much easier than to
set good examples that no one wants TO
follow. indeed 1t takes n tremendous eX-
ercise of pluck, thought, trouble, time and
energy TO reduce an establishment that
has been an extravagant ono to q moro
economical footing. 1t is to every ones
interest TO be against it, relatives. friends
and acquaintance nil do something to
force the would-be rcformer back into the
regular way and groove, and he finds the
social chains he has forged bind him and
fetter his efforts in every direction.
The Justification of private extravagant
expenditure is found in the necessity of a
class who will have leisure to encourage
the intellectual tastes and ambitions of
the nation. And this end might be ac-
complished if only matters could be so ar
ranged that shower of gold should de-
scend on the right people, in the right
place, at the right time. But wealth is no
more to the worthy than the race is to the
strong. and so it often finds outlets for
dispersion, for which there is no justIfl-
cation, and whose sole object is that

The crime was the outcome of the ex-

him and explained how the flowers
