ORGY OF EXTRAVAGANCE. £17,000 ASKED ' FOR A GOAT. New Yqrk women are wading knee deep in the snow to look through shop windows at summer clothes, writes onr American corres* pendent. Nothing is to be seen since Christmas in the great dry store windows except the flimsiest of summer frocks. Winter clothes, it is said, have been out down to the ‘'“price of a mere king’s' ransom. ” The New York Times has compiled some staggering figures to show the comparative prices in women’s clothes. The outfit for a young girl, which in 1914 cost £39, now costs £97. This is partly due to the normal increase in prices, but partly due to the fact that the women of America are wildly extravagant. New York shopkeepers find an easy remedy for goods that will not sell. They simply raise the price. Many women of means pay £SO without a murmur for a pair of beaded stockings. One Now York store is displaying a rose white blouse for £7OO and coats costing from £IO,OOO to £17,000 are not unknown. The “crown” sables, which formerly were never sent out of Siberia, but wore saved for the Royal families, now come almost exclusivelyjo America. Everyone says there will be a reckoning some day. It is unthinkable that Americans can go on losing enormous fortunes at a game of poker with a shrug of the shoulders while part ot Europe continues to starve. One critic puts it thus; ‘ ‘One of these days when the French factories are running, when ships are bringing Australian and Argentine wheat to hungry Europe, when the fields of Galicia and Roumania and Southern Russia are waving again with grain, we will find ourselves facing a vast overproduction and a monumental day of reckoning, We will awaken from the wildest debauch in the history of the world Only last week, a plain, balf-staryed-loio’sing woman of middle age went into a famous jeweller’s shop and paid £IOO,OOO for a pearl necklace. She was the wife of a Texas oil millionaire. Until two years ago she and her husband had been starvation poor all their lives. She had come to New York on her first shopping tour.”
