IN HE girl with the raccOon coat and
i the permanent wave was coming
out of the cheap lunch joint as went
over to the office this morning. She
had fortified herself for the days
work on cup of coffee and a dough-
nut, and was complaining to her COM
panion that the number Of books some
instructors expect student to buy
during the year is simply outrageous.
gathered that In one course in Eng
fish she had already spent ten dollars
and fifteen cents, and what further
extravaganza of this sort she would
be called upon to indulge in before the
end of the semester. only the Lord
knew. She was clothed in accordance
with the latest and most approved
fashion. What matter If in attaining
this end it was necessary to feed her
body and her mind rather econom-
lcally?
The Jones have new eight-cyllnder
car that really is beauty; he took
me home with him in 1t to lunch the
other day. Incidentally | could not
help noticing that the living room rug
Is disgracefuIly worn; Jones overcoat
Is almost in rags, and the furnace is
smoking dismally, IN the dumps as 1t
were, because it is sadly in need of
repairs.
The salary that Jones is getting Is
not large. Only with economy can he
keep his family comfortably and save
even small amount, It is quite evil
dent that for the sake of show and to
have Just little edge on his neigh
bors, Jones is doing without some of
the real necessities of life. He doesn't
really need the car; it is purely a
luxury.
The neighbors across the road from
us when I was boy. made con-
siderable showing when they drove
out on Sunday. They bought buggy
before anyone else in the neighborhood
had felt able to afford one. Their
clothing was far more elaborate and
expensive than any we could afford.
They cut wide swath as they trotted
down the road or walked up the aisle
at church.
They were always borrowing the
