Rleh Sian kassn Atot What Hs WaaAs

Rich Alan knsAn atot What tts WaA1e
 The Weman's Home Companion has an article In which this passage oc- CUTS: :.'The nuisance for the man who has acquired great financial resources usually Is that he doesn't know what he wants. Possessing the resources and feeling the moral necessity to have recourse to them, he looks about for something to want, and he selects the most costly thing. The acQuisf- ton of this most costly thing always involves. in practice, the separation of the rich man from society. Thus, he will acquire large estate, or sev- eral large estates, and cut himself of from the world by gates, doors, miles of drive, fodgekeepers, menials and secretaries. Or he will acquire a B. 0O0tOn yacht and cross the Atlantic privately, though less quickly. less comfortably and even less privately than on great liner. Or he will keep a private orchestra, instead of being seen at concerts. All which, though magnificent, is antisocial and silly. and Is secretly felt to be so by the rich man when he happens to wake up h the middle of the night and can't ga to sleep again"
