New York Bursting With Wealth


 Tn the Americsn Magazine Walter Prichard Eaton says:
 Not within the writer's memory have New York hotels been so crowded. Broad way 30 packed with motors. the theatres so full of people, tickets so hard to get, prices so high, old General Prosperity so complacently stalking down the gittering alley. It is safe to say that the season of 1916-17. in New York. was the most prosperous ever known to the theatre managers.
 "One day in January, at il o'clock in the morning, I saw seven motors stand ing by the curb on one block of Fifth avenue, all of them 1917 models and the cheapest of the seven costing over S3000 The most expensive cost at least $10,500, two others cost at least $7000, and the other three, s6O0o. There was at least $45.- eco worth of brand-new machinery, enl- ploying probably dozen men and burning up precious gasolene, for the sole purpose of enabling seven women to ride.
 But the motors are not the only sign of bloated prosperity in New York. The average hotel clerk now combines the autocratic demeanor of vthe Russian Czar with the nonchalant indifference of the newspaper office boy. There being at least two applicants for every hotel bed in New York all winter, he occupies what is known as a strategic position, and made the most of it. Prices scared ac- "nrdinglT You didn't eat when you werr hungry, but when the head waiter, in his Olympian majesty, condescended to let you have a table. If you were wise, you reserved a table in advance, a pro- cess accompanied by a liberal donation to the college education fund of the head walters children. Food cost whatever the patrons would stand for paying, and the more popular the hotel, or restaurant, the more they would stand for.
 Let's have some caviare-we never get it at home,' woman in a party of eight said one night at a popular Broad way hotel.
 They had it, scarcely enough to spread a single slice of toast apiece, and when they left one of the men said You may be interested to know that cavlare for eight people cost me exactly $15.' '"
