indeed. if we could live as luxuriously as
Aunt Rosamond and Cousin Arabella do.
During our visit it came out that neither
of these ladies goes into society at all. We
naturally inferred that only the declining
years of the elder lady had any bearing in
the matter, but Cousin Arabella explained.
"'Oh, no. she said, mother would not
give up society on account of her age; New
York women don't pay any attention to
age, they do what they want to do as long
as they have the necessary money. But,
you see, now that we haven't our large
house any longer we are not on equal terms,
socially with any New York people. We
can't accept invitations from people who
live as we used to-mother is too PROUD, and
so am for we can't entertain such peo-
pie. We wouldn't ask them to come TO a
fiat and they wouldn't come if we did.
"Then, you know, we won't associate
with any of these fiat folks-of course not.
They are all good people. no doubt, and
have their own friends-among other fat
folks, of course. That is all right, fiat
folks should associate with fiat folks, but
you see we can't have anything to do with
them because we have led such a different
life. Yes. it is too bad, but it can't be
helped; we can't have our old friends, and it
would never do for us to take up with all
these fiat folks-never in the world. "
