a LUXURY Is something which IS
n a pleasure this year but will
- become q necessity next year.
Man can get along without Injuries
and as long as he does so he is safe.
But as soon as he adopts a luxury he
cannot get alOn@ without it and has
to classify it thereafter as living eX-
penses.
When man first began his variegated
career. food aud water were the only
necessities. and bed of nice soft leaves
was a luxury. But after he had bedded
his family down in leaves Tor a few
weeks a bed became a necessity and
whenever he tried to dodge the Job of
gathering it on a cold rainy night his
wife threatened to leave him on the
ground of nOnsupport.
Ever since then man has been lngenl-
Ously acquiring Injuries and then indus
triOusly accommodating enough money to
continue them as necessities
There was a time when a fork was
novelty. and the man who owned one
gave parties at which each guest was
allowed to experiment with the new toy.
Now no girl can get married until she
has corded up several pounds of solid
silver meat. dessert. oyster, clam, lob

q boil from envy. Now plug hats are a
crushing burden all over the island and
men who cannot earn the money TO buy
one frequently Jump off the dock to end
their sufferings.
Up to a few years ago the telephone
was a luxury and people used it with
pride and satisfaction. Now the world
IS full of apoplectic men who would
gladly tear the telephone out by the
roots and hurl it several miles away
with a low kissing sound If they could
get along without it.
The automobile, two years ago was
the worlds greatest luxury. Now the
people sit sadly at home while TIE coun-
try club dance goes gaily on because no
friend has happened by with a limousine
and they have forgotten how to use
their feet.
If Injuries would stay put they would
be very nice But it IS the luxury which
creeps into our hearts and pOcket-bOOks
and becomes a grim necessity that has
sent the cost Of living after the aero
plane record.
Recognizing these great principles. our
governments should pay so much for
honesty that it would have to be elassed
as q luNurv-after which it would
speedily become a necessitv and we
would all live happily ever after-COpy-
