Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cruising in the Mediterranean The prerogative of the poor millionaires to a bit of luxa ury is constantly being infringed upon The sphere of those exclusive privileges, formerly only accessible to the rich, is being visibly reduced in favor of those possessing but average wealth. Nearly every whim of every millionaire is being modelled and remodelled by enterprising persons until it be comes attainable with an outlay of a very reasonable amount of money. Horse and carriage, even the most thoroughbred race horse, wheel and automobile, all attractions of a sailing or hunting ground, not to enumerate any more of the endless pleasures, have long lost the fascination of being unattain able by the average mortal. T'hus the tables are being turned upon wealth, until sooner or later, it will lose its most subtle charms. For assuredly the keenest human pleasure can only develop with the knowledge that what we possess is unattain able to others and that we are the objects of the deepest. Envy. Our real millionaires must now face and solve the difficult problem, find new pleasures, invent new delights of so com plicated and costly a nature that even the possessors of scant millions, humiliated and overwhelmed, must become conscious of their nonentity.
