And the person who dares approach one of these places on foot will be re- ceived by guests, waiters and proprietors alike with derisive smiles, as one who has no right to enter. such a paradise. Hungry chorus girls, devouring lobsters and champagne for breakfast, look pity- ingly upon him, while their escorts in coats and caps that make them look like animals pass jokes at the pedestrian’s expense. The notion that one might prefer to walk is too absurd for consideration. The motorists gulp down their food and drink, enjoying the exaltation that possesses them. The appetite engen- dered by the sport, among women as well as men, is one of the appalling ings to contemplate; for it is abnormal and comes not from the zest of the ride. It is rather for the reason that every properly caparisoned car nowadays has its own bar, its patent bottles for keep- ing fluids hot and cold, its mixers, shakers—all the implements of the bar- keeper; not that they are used—for it is the fashion to have individual flasks of pure liquor hidden in muffs within easy reach while the tour is on.

Everything that tends to feminine en- joyment must have the scent of gasoline in it. The young man who once man- aged to make ten dollars do for an out- ing now has to spend twice that in a ridiculous attempt to compete with his tender sentiment, but now it takes a ma- chine hired at a price for which he per- jures his business destiny—for the auto- mobile habit ranks worse than the race- track as a handicap on the small salaried clerk. Still, he must have it if he wishes to please the girl. It is the Only Way. And every extravagant vice has fol- lowed in the wake of the car.
