Social Budgeting

Today, also, much of the strain of life comes from our anxious concern as to how we can get maximum income and as to whether our expenditure of this income will yield us the maximum in satisfaction. Modern life recently seemed to Charlie Chaplin a thing of high speed, of senseless mechanization. It seems to others like an orderly game of bridge. In playing bridge we could conceivably leave the cards face down upon the table as dealt to the four players, each blindly in his turn playing a card. Actually, one player has half the cards in the pack under his control, and each of two other players who are partners know where half the cards lie and control one-fourth. The remaining player looks on. All have knowledge as to the make-up of all four hands if they have bid "in a scientific fashion." All know the specific values of all the cards.
