SYNOPSIS
"Money is the root of all evil."
"I do not know who said the above famous words, but they are true. I know it but too well. For, I had never gone on an allowance, and been in debt and always worried about e the way silk stockings wear out, and et cetera, I would be having a much better time. For who can really enjoy a dress when it is not paid for or only partially so?"
With these doleful words pretty Barbara Archibald opens her diary and the episodes that follow bear out only too well her theory. Returned from a select girls' school Bab is just at the age of "romance" as she calls it and when her old friend Tommy Gray gives her his frat pin to wear, she believes that her "life's romance has commenced."
It all begins when her father puts her on an allowance of $1,000 a year and no extras. "Not princely, but it will do," writes. Bab. With this sum she is to purchase all "furs, theatre tickets, and underwear, manacuring, dentist, church collections, candy, tennis balls and matinee tickets, ice cream and taxicabs and Xmas gifts" for an entire year.
The first day she and her intimate friend, Jane Raleigh proceed to work sad havoc with her newly acquired check-book, sending nine bunches of violets to their teachers at five dollars a hundred; having massages together (at Bab's expense) and tea at the most expensive place in town.
