WEARINESS OF WEALTH.
"«»dlcia Macaileeaee aad S.ia«fc ProdisralttT of Some Hie* f— K*W Yorkers.
The very rich men of the world are growing exceedingly tired of the vast wealth accumulated. In New York scores and hundreds of men to-day are paving anywhere__from $9,000 to>sl6,000 a month rent for suites of rooms, not homes which they have built for their families, but- simply apartment* which they have rented for awhile, says a writer in Homilitic Review. The godless magnificence, the selfish prodigality, the overwhelming ostentation of the wealth of New York in certain circles cannot be described; but it is all an indication of the fact that the climax has well-nigh been reached in the display of what wealth can gets The world is waiting now to knw what wealth can give. It is the nemesis of vast wealth that it brings its own retribution, and that retribution is- the weariness of being unable to find happiness in merely having things.
