We have been a spendthrift people
and we were proud of il. We We're
proud Of our reputation as a nation
who was free with its cash, easy on
the purse strings. generous spenders.
When we went to Europe we took
pleasure in surprising our thrifty
neighbors across the seas. We liked
their amazement at our prodigality
liked to shock them by our extraga-
gance-"open handedness'' we called It.
We did things on the grand scale,
scattered our dollars with lavish
hand. and staggered under the at
tendant applause.
At home we performed in the same
way. To practice small economies
was to run the risk OF being called
mean, and besides there was always
money to be made. So we squandered
educating ourselves in habits of ex-
travagance. Purveyors of luXuries

ard that the conservative fastened to
follow. We multiplied ways of spend
ing, outgrew comfort and demanded
luxury. Our houses We're not good
enough; it became the custom to re-
furnish them. The French and Eng
fish furnish for a litfe time, repairing
and replacing when the need arises
But at ever shortening intervals we
turn out the old things and install
new; having the house done over" is
one of the popular American pastimes
And it is not confined to the homes
of the rich. What the top layer of So
ciety does is copied by the lower lay
ers. They too refurnish and discard
keep up their need by spending what
they ought to save and buying what
they don't need. To all sorts of little
people. edging along on small incomes
there comes a day when the brass
bed is supplanted by mahogany four
poster and the parlor must have a
black rug.
In the matter of clothes-women's
this national weakness reaches its
highest expression. Our extravaganza
in dress is a by-word and a reproach
among the nations. The girl of mod
crate means tries to emulate the mil

painted beauties that she sees on hel
Sunday promenade. French and Eng
lish women buy their clothes to last
the American to wear for season and
throw away. She still regards the
coverings of her body as purely o1na
mental, articles of decoration and dis
play for which her fathers or her hus
bands or her own dollars must go as
to a vital necessity.
And SO it travels down the line til
