QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Mrs. Clare…took to speculating…At the peak of stock prices she might have sold out for close to a million, but she could not let go…and in the end lost everything, even her home…she was in the grasp of the spirit of a mad time, when even men deemed “wise” talked of a New Era.”

Arthur Pound in Atlantic Monthly 1935
