miscreant wantonly destroyed, beyond all hope OF

Spending and Home-Making.

From the Chicago Post
In treatise on The Art of Spending"
Prof Thorstein VebIen OF the University
or Chicago asks: Who, then shall decide
on canons OF expenditure and of time anu
OF money II not the thoughtful patriotic
Well-informed women of America %
1t IS wel-recognized fact that the chief
elements of expenditure in the average
family OF the United States are determined
by the wife. and not by the husband In
the case of wage earners and others OF
small incomes the wife actually disburses
the larger part of the money that supports
the family. But even in the case of incomes
above $500 it is the tastes and ambitions
o. the woman that establish the scale of
the family outgo. So far as America Is
concerned, therefore, the determining fac
tor in the family expense account is al
ready admitted to be the woman.
In appealing TO the women of the United
States not to cucumber themselves with so
much merely superficial baggage a s to be
unable to enjoy the intellectual feast 10
which they are hidden or to contribute TO
the worlds store of accomplishment that
which If less burdened they might give,
Prof. Veblen seems to have a comprehen-
siVe and accurate view of the domestic and
social field of human activity. He OPP
poses the waste of money that is spent by
people OF moderate incomes in their desire
to initiate what he calls the leisure Glass;
and he especially mentions college women
as having INDUCED in this Objectionable
imitation. Perhaps Prof Veblen's ideas
would be better appreciated by some of the
women to whom he appeals if he had omit
ted his remark TO the effect that there is no
other lass that spends so large a per cent
of its income upon conspicuous waste
the scholarly class because it usually is
rated under a higher social grade than its
pecuniary means will warrant" The in
ference is that having the means necessary
for expenditures on a waSteful scale places
one in a higher social plane than that
cupied by scholarly people who have no
such superfuous means, and this assump-
ton is one of the gravest errors that any
critic or teacher can make
The cultivated people of the United States
will inevitably maintain that it Is their
right, and that 1t is in their power, to de-
termine what is the highest social scale.
and to occupy the land of promise thus
DESIGNATED themselves. 1t would be a new
way of promoting respect for culture if its
advocates permitted anybody to represent
them as regarding the expenditures of the
leisure class as an open sesame to
social scale from which persons less affiu-
ent were barred.
