About Extravagance

Alice Kendall lives like the children of millionaires while her mother spends what is left to keep the appearance up, including the last of the money on a trousseau when Alice marries Fred Garlan. Fred's hours bore her, and she spends more than he earns. When she wants a sable coat, he says they cannot afford it. A playboy, Morrell, gets her one through a fake stock deal, and the marriage reaches a break.
