LUXURY

Though luxury is something which
only fools go in for, the incidental
crumbs thereof are what feed the null
titude 1t is proof that Providence does
not wish the multitude to go hungry
when fools with a knack of making
money keep on being born.
If all men were wise, and luxury
therefore a thing unknown, we might
still be fed after a fashion. but the
sum total of happiness would be less.
Nobody would be happier except those
few who have been permitted, by trial,
to discover what a poor thing luxury
is, while the rest of us. having nobody
to envy, would be serable.-Puck.

I'd been hanged. It's false. I've never
been condemned, let alone hanged
We'll, my friend, said the editor,
It's our policy never to issue direct
contradictions. They shake the con-
fidence of the reader. But I'll tell you
what We'll do for you. Well say you

tiste, with their dainty cut and pretty
yet simple trimmings of tucks and
embroidery, with a minimum of lace
insertion, are very satisfactory for such
purposes; and these little white frocks
are not at all expensive.
Foulard and pongee dresses may also
be worn-always providing the style is
not too elaborate. Trains, chiffon
tunics. rich embroidered and beaded
trimmings, ETC., are, of course, most
out of place in a business office.
