Since Sinclair Lewis made lot Of
money and lot of popularity out Of
some books that deserve their popu-
larity for the good stories they tell.
it has been the fashion to use the
words "Main Street" and 'tBabbitta or
''Babbittry" in a breadth Of appIica-
ton that grows loosen every day.
Unless you can brand someone as
q "Babbitt" about every hour you are
socially and scientifically as. ont of
date as you are in the use Of slang
unless you can diagnose q. case OF
heebie-jeebies on sight.
As counter irritant to Rabbit we
now have Arrowsmith, who is as much
model Of the higher culture as
Babbitt is Of the ambitious middle
class which joins lodges and gets into
booster clubs.
Now, what is usually ridiculed as
"Babbittry" is about the same thing
that hobs up when the young fellow
from the farm or 1ongshore breezes in
with his first roll of bills and replaces
the old rundown brogans with 4 pair
of sparkling, bright yellow shoes and
tops off the outburst with checkered
suit that would put fire engine siren
to sleep. He wants something better
than he's had and he's going o get
it and whether it looks right to any
one else is immaterial to him; il tells
him he's getting somewhere step
beyond where he was. That's just as
much self-expression to him astwrit-
ing book is to an author-and maybe
more.
If the idea 70 getting .sonik Where
is any good at all, then what tiae high
brows call '.Babbittry" can not be en-
tirely ridiculed or laughed off. II does
have some purpose. It may be pop
in jay sort Of expression Of little
understood desire, but it is the best
Mr.. Babbitt is capable Of, and what
more can the poor fellow do
70
Rabbit boosts" for "our's lodge
and for "our" town and all that-and
the lofty writer's of books and makers
Of jokes laugh at him. But, getting
right down to brass tacks, who can
prove there's anything wrong with
that?
OF course, for those who accept the
view that there is no purpose in any
human effort land this is by no means
confined to 'fundamentaIists'), Babbitt
is fool and he ought to go and loaf
under cocoanut treet, il he can find
one.
But the critics and highbrows, it
win be noticed, are generally enjoying
the very things that have been

A real ray of comfort in the pres

people who have been peaceably
housed in apartments in the larger
cities and rented houses in the smaller
ones are forced by the present high
rents to build And thus spurred to
action by necessity, many will find the
greatest joy in planning, building and
furnishing the ideal home that lives in
every ones imagination.
For the first time many of us will
live in homes of our own planning,

have always missed in rented houses.
