| Description | Print shows how members of the upper class have made efforts to cut-back during the business panic of 1893; vignettes show a clothing auction of dresses worn by socialites, former streetcar-horses finding a second life as polo ponies, club men drinking from the "growler", theatergoers abandoning the orchestra pit for upper-level boxes, opening up their yachts for "sailing parties of the plain people", and hopping freight cars in the absence of "local express trains". |
