THE LURE OF LUXURY
A million or more girls and
young women in America are
making the same mistake at the
same moment. And it is a pitiful
mistake, too—a tragic one, in
many cases. They are saying;
“I’ll be happy when I get”—this
or that or the.other thing! And
the result? They are utterly
losing the capacity to enjoy right
now, today. Those who pin
their joy to the skirts of Tomor
row will never catch up with that
vanishing jade, for she will always
keep just a sunrise ahead of them
If you ever kiss the lips of Con
tent it must be under the skies of
today!
But this is not the worst of it.
Those who wait upon elusive to
morrow for their gift of hap
piness generally hitch their
hopes upon the attainment
of something that money will buy

The public may not understand that there -is three grades of queensware, firsts>

I are higher than they were a few years ago. We guarrantee all our dishei to be numb- f

or something they believe money
will buy. Fine and dainty things
are dear to the feminine heart.
The soft trapping of luxury have
always been the sure and unfail
ing lure to the senses of woman1
kind—that is of the undisciplined
and immature woman. Are girls
and women to be blamed for wish
ing to array themselves in beauti
ful clothes, for desiring to sur
round themselves with all the en
chantments of “dainty nourish
ment,” for longing to live in the
charmed atmosphere of luxury
and brightness and admiration?
No! But first consider the price
and the value! It is easy—oh so
easy!—to put loo high a price up
on luxury. Thousands of girls
and women go into mental and
moral bankruptcy because they
are paying too much for these
things. To get them they execute
a mortgage upon all they are or
may be.
To be explicit: Isn’t it inex
pressibly shocking to your sense
of womanhood to know that nine
tenths of the women who are to
day leading abandoned lives were
baited to their downfall by the
bauble of fine clothes, of jewels
of the things with which to make
themselves “look pretty?” And
yet this is the testimony of those
who give their live to rescue
work amoung fallen wom
en. This is the result reached by
years of sad research among the
faded and the sorrowing and the
shameless women of the “Red
light” inferno.
The Lure of Luxury is the un
failing bait with which the White
Slave Trader sets his fiendish trap.
And what are you—the parents
of daughters going to do about
it? Are you going to try and
stamp this love of bright and
beautiful things out of your
daughter’s nature? Not if you
are a wise parent. This is gener
ally a short cut to disaster. Show
your daughter that these things
are well and good if they come
rightly and naturally if she or you
do not pay too high a price for
them and get them from the right
source: that any human being
who offers her a short cut to
luxury is sure to demand too high
a price, and that happines has
small relation to the amount ot
fine clothes,jewels, theatre tickets,
automobile rides and “good times”
which are within her possible
grasp. The happiest woman I
know of is the one who thinks
the least of these things and thinks
most of how she can serve the
whole human race.
She has fine taste in dress,
likes dainty clothes and adorn
ments, and knows how to wear
them; she loves the bright things
of life and has a genius for
happiness. But she is so spontan
eously eager for the good of
others that her own graces of
person, the garments and the
jewels which she wears and the
“good times” which Luxury
offers her are veiled from her
conscious thought by a gracious
ness of heart that counts them as
little in her invoice of the assets
of Happiness. She knows the
gifts of modest luxury, but counts
them at their true value, which is
small alongside a myriad of other
possessions far less material than
a new gown, a “stunning” hat, a
set of modish furs, or a touring
car. She could netfer be cheated
into paying too high a price for
these bargain sales on Luxury’s
Counter, for vanity and shallow
love of display are beneath her
standard of reckoning.
And do not think that men are
not bought by the lure of luxury.
They are. They cheat and lie
and steal and debase themselves
for it. But there are some perils
from which their sex exempts
them when they strike for that
gaudy bait that girlhood and
womanhood often incur when
dazzled by the brightness of this
particular lure.
When the girl of today gets a
sane and level perspective on life
she will know that all the things
which a Princess can hang on her
person or with which she can sur
round her self are not worth the
sacrifice of a single fine and
womanly virtue and that the tak
of one careless or ill considered
step is paying too high a price
for them—then the lure of luxury
will be powerless to draw thou
sands of unthinking girls into
lives that are vain, shallow,coarse
or polluted.
