FL LUJO, FL PRIMER
EMIGO de Ia MUJER

Desgraciadamente vemos cor de-
masiada frecuencia que hay nladres
! de familia que, cegadas por un amor
NAL e%ntendido, acostumbran a sus
hijas a vestir con IN lujo que las
mas de las veces no esta al alcance
de sus modestas f~ortunas y que con
este les causan I'm gravisimo nal.
No repruebo Ell lujo en- 10 abso-
luto. Que las personals acaudaladas
vistan con elegancia Y aun salts
fagan hasta donde les sea possible
sus caprichos. NADIA absolutamente
tiene de v~ituperable, pues con ESQ
| dan trabajo a la costurera, a la mo-
dista, al zapatero, al platero Y otras
muchas personals que no cuentan con
suficientes recursos para vestir del
mismo modo.
Tengo entendido, mis- amables lee
toras, cue ell enemigo mas terrible
de las mujeres es ell lujo, y que las
madres que desde ~pequenas acostum-
bran a sus hijas a vestir ~lujosamen-
te, las exponen a que sean muy des-
graciadas; puedo asegurar que mu-
chas wees causen So perdicion.
:Se podra exigir que las j6venes
asi educadas lie tengan amor a Ia
modestia V a la sencillez, que es el
principal ornate que el hombre bus
ca en- Ia mujer que Ia de elegir
| para u esta sea su companera, el
angel de su hogan, Ia madre de Sus
hijos?
Y las iovencitas que lie tienen n
passion d~esordenada al luio Y a Ia
esplendidez. ;podran ser buenas es-
posas, buenas hijas Y bueHas madrcs
de familia? Sin :itubear ~respondere
que no.
El primer NAL que les el no
poder satisfacer sus caprichos, es ell
fastidio: y detras del fastidio vene
la vanidad Y "a envidia.
La que anna Ell lujo. Ia que es
vanidosa V, por consiguiente, coqre-
Ia, nunca es feliz, nunca esta conten-
ia. porque jamas We satisfechos sus
deseos. pues siempre esta temerosa
de que otras muieres mas elegantes
' mejor vestidas la eclipsen; las ext
g~encias de esas mujeres son insopor-
tables V sus primeras victimas son
sus padres V sus esposos.
Fl lujo enfria el alma de la mu.
ier Y alicia de ella todos los senti-
mientos mobiles Y gererosos. Sc pue-
de asegurar que no hay mujer aman
te del lujo que no sea egoista.
Eel lujo, el detestable lujo, dice
una moderna escritora, ha hecho i'm
possible el hogan a Ia familia; ell ca
rruaje, ell abono en- los t~eatros, la
modista cara, Ia p~einadora, las te-
las de valor, los e~ncajes parecen en-
ell dia sobre TODD en las grandes
capitales, necesidades que nj nues-
tras abuelas. nj nuestras madres CO.
nocian."
e. lujo SENECA a Ia passion del
iuego, absorbe por complete la exis,
tencia V trastorna las cabezas.
ST q~uereis vivir contentas. queri-
das lectoras, sad modestas, vestid con
sencillez Y sed aseadas Y os conquis-
tareis los c~orazones de todas las per-
sonas prudentes; huid del lujo ' Sc
reis ~felices.

FAIR PLAY FOR RErAIKT.Rs
From IcSltf.,s.

RI Ia not fair to put all the blame
OF high food costs upon the retailer.
Attorney General Palmer says there
are more complaints against the corr
rer grocer than any other class u
dealers. Unauestiona some avartv
cious ones have taken advantage of
the situation to profiteer. but all over
the country grocery and meat stores
have had to go out of business be-
cause of shrinking profits. The mar
gan of profit is usually less to the re~
taller under abnormalfy high prices
than at any otner time. The corr
ner grocery is great accommodar
ton to the public. 1t delivers orr
cers. carries its customers sometimes
for months and does it on A smaller
volume OF trade than the large con-
Germ. All this h worth something TO
the homes of the neighborhood. III
people are not willing to go to the
Inconvenience of buying from public
markets and OF carrying their pur-
caases home. they should not be un-
willing to pay for the convcniences
afforded by the retailer.

TRADERS TAKE FRIGHT
AND THROW OFF STOCK

New York Sept. 1.-THE story of
today's market was that of a num-
Der Of miscellaneous traders taking
fright at the opening on account or
calling of the steel strike and throw :
ing ever their stocks regardless or
prices The selling did not reflect in
telligent opinion and in itself was of
no consequence whatever. Response
Bile Wall Street sentiment has never
taken the steel labor situation very
seriously.
The mark ct at quarter past ten WAS
in a position OF having discounted a
strike IL it were to come and with all
the chance remaining of the matter
being fixed up within the next ten
DAYS In word the bad news long
overbanging was out of the way leav-
ing all the favorable possibilities of
the situation lying ahead. This fact
was duly appreciated by the larger
II terests and those who took all the
stocks that were offered. Steel COM
mon touched 101 at the start but new

a similar recovery.
Elsewhere throughout the industrial

one time in the early afternoon the
equipments under the lead Of Bald
win locomotive and American loco
motive had either equalled or surpass-
ed their previous high. the motor
stocks were above the Tuesday final
and oil shares had regained all their
loss. This recovery WAS checked In
the later dealings and there was some
recession. But the net result OF the
lays operai oEs was to leave prices
dowr, less than point on the aVera &c
with many individual stocks showing
gains This war a remarkable &C
complishment considering the way the
Gay started,
In Steel common the buying at all
times was of much better sort than
, the selling. All the steel shares az
we'll as the equipments was helped by
an interview with Charles NJ. Schwah
in which he referred to the enormius
requirements OF the railroads for steel
rats. cars and locomotives during 70
the under buying of these materials
during the period OF the federal ad-
minis ration OF the roads.
The encouraging statement came
with the announcement by the Amer
Jean Locomotive company Of the re-
cant cf impnf tant orders from Bel
GUM and south America.
The buying Of American Locomotive
shares was extremely confident and
they crossed par for the first time In

plus but this was not reflected in any
increased movement.
A report that Germany had arrang
ed for ready money or credit for puF-
chases of commodities was a sustain
ing influence in corn soon after the
opening but the report was denied
later in the day by banking interests.
Declines became more pronounced af-
ter this and the trade was unwilling
to absorb increased offerings.

continued selling by houses with

NEW YORK CURB MARKET

New York. Sept. 1i.-Tnfiuenced by
the labor developments over the hol-
idav and weakness that marked the
early business in other security mar
kets, prices on the curb broke rath
er sharply.
Initial losses ranged from fractions
to more than points. business on
the decline was small and for this
reason the appearance OF demand
brought about quick recovery TO
levels on a par with those of the
previous sessions. There was little
feature to the dealings however. in
terest again being scattered through
a wide list of issues and being main
~ for the account Of the profession
al element.
AS whole, oils were again the
center of activity. Declines in this
group were comparatively small. and
full recoveries followed the recessions
The high priced shares were In good
demand and were among the first to
benefit from renewed demand.
Medium priced stocks followed the up
ward trend. Sinclair Gulf and Sin
clair Consolidated were the late fea
tures Of the higher priced stocks.
Industrials recovered a large part
Of the early declines In the late deal
ings- but price movements in the main
were irregular. Low peiced metal
stocks were the center OF interest in
the metal group and small advances
were scored This was especially
true OF the silver group. s.. - p.
