SOME USES OF WEALTH

J Yjew of the Vanderbilt wedding undo it nn orgy of
Wealthcharacterized by extravagances of taste and
tf essential vulgarity The critical comment is closed
r 1 by the smug reflection that the wedding was distaste
e fnl to the mass of plain American citizen In whose
t ilnde It excites reprobation
On the contrary It was a match to which tho Ameri
r can public lent Ito heartiest approval 1Tbo bridegroom
R ° was not a titled roul bankrupt financially and physi
cally as the result fa youth of excesses The bride
tl was not soiling hereelf for a coronet Two very nice
young people were entering upon matrimony as the I
proper consummation of a romantic courtship which
1r bad proved them much In love with each other And I
tho public always loving a lover did not withhold Its
t y approbation because this particular bridegroom hap
tiJ O pened to be rich
r w la It an orgy of wealth and extravagance when
Croesus spends 1100000 for something he can afford
y ZltTUlgar to buy a florists entire stock of flowers
lr when tho cost Is no more to you than that of a half
dozen American Beauties to a clerk
S When Croesus Is raising the price of oil or of coal
s and combining to make beef dearer and rents higher or
+ planning the artifices of combination that are to mulct
the public for the benefit of his purse ho Is sufficiently
odious and there Is nothing to bo said in his behalf
But when he Is spending his money Is he not serving

rh couple there wero doyens of gold dinner plates gold

Their purchase represented the distribution of several
it f hundred thouaands of dollars Was It the extravagant
r C ostentation It is called or rather a welcome addition
f to the communitys stock of cash whereby the jeweller
j and the goldsmith and tho florist and all recipients of
h the bounty were enabled to pass some of It on to em
s ployees for the support of small households and the
easing up of a local financial stringency In humble
homes 1 i
i t If the mujtimllllonalre stopped what are called hla
i extravagances if persons of less wealth reduced their ex
t < pendltures to a minimum If nn era of economy were to
t C be entered upon by all the community what a monetary
fl disaster would ensue one with which no financial panic
on record could compare In evil results
y lr It Is on extravagance so called that a largo part of

the workday world subsists At tho time England
went into mourning her Queen It was estimated that

tl ft + charge Is made that the streetcar companies toen

o 1l n ovlflent to the most casual observer that women
and girls ore treated with too great familiarity by the
