...Paris, $41 in New York. At the Giorgio Armani boutique on Milan's Via Sant' Andrea, a smartly cut black leather jacket is $600, half the price in New York. At Zeiss Optical in Munich, a pair of binoculars costs $815, vs. $1,140. Says Miami Travel Agency Owner Constanza DeFelice: "I even bought two Cabbage Patch dolls in a Madrid department store for less than $20 apiece." "Our tour conductors take people into shops, and they become a little bit crazy. They just buy up the whole place," says Jeffrey Joseph, executive vice president of New York's Globus...

So Constanza is left with her daughter Flavia, who at the age of ten shows similar signs...

"You are all wrong," Constanza tells Mr. James. "It is the Italians who are simple; they did not have any novelists to tell them what they are like...
