The people are spending with hands more lavish than in the hey-days of the World War.

The hotels of New York have been overcrowded for nearly six weeks. Ordinarily the fall season should be opening Just about now. It got tin der way this year far ahead of sche dule and found many of the hotels unprepared for the rush. Help was '?carce. The summer resorts had not closed.
