STORY OF ExTRAvAGANT Llv-
ING COMES FROM BERLIN.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-The astonish'

striking a feature OF present-day Ire
was the subject of conversation tne
other evening at a small exclusive
club frequented by diplomats. One
member In the British service spoke
strongly OF the rlinous expense oil
the English social life of today.
up TO a quarter OF a century ago,
he said. "our habits were simple
Even the wealthy made no great show
When | began 10 stay In country
houses in the seventies the way OF
living was plain and unpretentious,
Who nowadays would have the cour'
age TO offer his guests boiled eggs
and cold ham for breakfast on not
day. a dish OF cold meats and cheese
for luncheon, and a dinner OF four or
five courses all told? What woman In
in society nowadays would be content
TO allow herself 6 $50 a year dress
allowance? An aunt OF mine. with one
OF the greatest titles and at one time
in Queen Victoria's household, never
exceeded that amount.
ITO the very wealthy IL doesn't mat
ter what they spend on their personal
pleasures. but when you find men
earning from $1,000 TO $4,000 a
year spending II all in mad endeav-
or 10 do Just as the wealthy do-drive
motor cars. eat at the most expensive
restaurants, keep number OF ser
wants, and consume the most expen-
sive wines and cigars-then you may
be sure that the country suffers.
Tendency ls Marked.
II don't believe" continued the diplo-
mat. who is familiar with the social
life in all the great capitals, that in
any other country you will find this
tendency among people OF moderate
income so marked as II Is here. In

upper classes is carried TO amazing

great deal OF gambling and wildness
generally, but only among the aristo-
cracy; in Paris there are plenty Of
chances TO live riotously, but you sci.
dom see the bourgeois taking them
! The same story OF eXtrayagant lux
ury comes from Berlin. Prince
Bulow's renewed warning TO the Prus
sian diet against the evils OF extrava
gance came at n moment when the
herman people were indulging in pos
sibly the most luxurious week of their
history.

These large sales of cotton goods

up and maintained, accord ng to In

sections to which they are sent;
pr ces and terms TO meet the Gus
toms and requirements of the people;
the maintenance of agents in those
sections OF the world to study bus
ness conditions, social customs, and
therefore, the requirements OF the
markets; the establishment OF bang
ing facilit es and methods by which
long credits may be extended;
plentiful supply of carrying facili-
ties, and cheapness of production by
the home manufacturers. The sma. :,
percentage which the United States
manufacturers have in this trade is
apparently due to the indisposition
at the present time Of American man
ufacturers given by European man
ufacturers, including the special
manufacture OF goods TO suit the To-
cal markets; the maintenance OF
trade representatives in these feel Is;
and the other attentions which have

terial from the United States, and,
after turning 1t into the finished
form, supply the Orient with prac-
tically all of the more than 400 mill

which Il annually imports.

cotton goods which the Orient now

into cloth by hand labor, indicating
that Of the cotton cloths now used in

development OF new industries In the
Orient displace the hand trades, a.
has already been the case In certain
