LUXURY IN LONDON.
PROTEST BY A BISHOP. “ I cannot help wondering at what seems a really provocative display of luxury in what everyone says are hard times,” writes the Bishop of Chester, Dr. Paget, in the Chester Diocesan Gazette. “ I was in London three weeks ago, and I cannot remember ever having seen so lavish a show of costly unnecessaries as was flaunted there in the more fashionable streets —silks and satins, pearls and diamonds, crocodile hide, and 18-carat gold, very expensive toys and masses of chocolate. “ It seems strange, when so many of the nicest people one knows, rich and poor, are either driven or prefer ito live simply and inexpensively. I am sure there is something heartless as well as dangerous in wastefulness face to face with real wart.”
