Does Living Cost More?

better?"
And we all answer yes"
We're using player-pianos instead
of pianos, or uprights instead of
squares or organs.
We men are wearing shoes instead
of boots. several hats year instead OF
one felt hat, one large straw hat, one
cap which used to last a least two sea-
sons; we wear loosely woven woolens
instead of the washable linens our
fathers Wore, were riding on street
cars and in autos instead of walking.
and were continually discaTding the
Old to adopt the new where time is
saved
Women are keeping pace with men
in living. and the house electricity has
oUsted Kerosene and some cases gas:
soup comes in cans, the morning cereal
is prepared in a jiffy, the fireless cooker
saves hours which are spent on the cool
veranda instead OF the hot kitchen.
Our living costs a little more than
il cost our fathers, but were living
better. getting more out of life, and
most Of us earning and making more
than our fathers ever did, are per
fectly willing to spend more on a better
living.
