In fact, the country is simply crammed with people who are talking that way today—advocating a return to good old-fashioned thrift, deplor- ing our luxurious manner of life, and especial the elaborate scale on which our children are reared. Much of this advice is sensible. A great deal of it is shameful. An ap- preciation of thrift should be part of every child's education. But, on the whole, I think it's rather good to have a champagne appetite and a lager beer income! For unless you have a champagne appetite vou're going to be content with near-beer all your life —and that's a pretty sad fate for a human. - Take Thomas Wilton, for instance. Tom is an expert accountant, earning a fair living for a single man, but not 80 much for four youngsters and a wife. And Tom has deliberately gone in debt. With malice aforethought he has bought things which, consider- ing his income, he simply can’t afford. A little car, a fine talking machine, the Britannica, tickets to the best shows.
