“if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away to little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are to small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charities expenditure excludes them.”
