Extravagance.

“It takes a maid to be extravagant,” said the woman of slender means. “My girl just exhibited to me with much pride something she had bought to send a girl friend for her birthday. It was a sublimated card, with a dove life size, made of paper that fluffed out when you pulled a string, ail gay colors and cut out effects something like the old-fashioned valentines. She paid 50 cents for the thing and it prob ably will get smashed in the mails. Just think of the handkerchiefs, gloves, stockings, hat pins, collars and all manner of pretty useful things you can get for 50 cents. But the other girl probably will be delighted, so why should ! worry?”
