PEOPLE WITH MONEY TO BURN.
New York is overrun with people who have money to burn. The abnormal condition arising from war profits has, says an American journal, given the shops the heaviest season that they have ever had; it has forced upon the town, to the exclusion of many legitimate plays, an unparalleled number of musical comedies of the kind that are rarely seen in the smaller cities —gigantic productions, with marvellous processions of scantily-clad choruses and comedians and dancers without count; it has impelled a sudden rush of capital into the hotel business so that New York will have next year, among other new hotel structures, a fiftecn-million-dollar, thousandroom hostelry. New York, in its glitter and noise and movement is more a spectacle than it has ever been.
