In Paris the same evening would cost $5. No thought is taken for the average mans pleasure in America. Cabs, good dinners, good wines, all are put at such exorbitant prices that the average man must either do without them or run in debt to get them once, say, a month. In Europe and in England the average man is catered to. He can take a cab, he can eat a good dinner, he can drink a glass of good wine, without first mortgaging his house. "I think it is a sign of the nations youth and crudity that the average man obtains no consideration in America."

The same kind of things would happen if the sun were blue. Everything now blue or white would be blue and everything else black. The whole sky, clouds and all, would be blue. The grass this time would be blue, not black, for it reflects both blue and yellow. Hair would be all black, the red of the lips would be black and the rest of the face would be a cloudy blue. If the sun were green we would have a little variety. Things that are now yellow would still be yellow. ,things that are blue would he blue and things that are green would still lie green, but there would be no reds, purples, orange, pinks or any of those eheery hues that make the world look so bright.
