FASEHONAB`B SINS.

An. English clergyman writing to a contem-
porary says :
It is a mockery that while our lords and ladies,
and their brothers and cousins, the bishops, ate
preaching charity in Exeter-hall, and forming
societies for the protection of workwomen and the
conversion of Hottentots, they should not form on
for the "Suppression of Extravagant Wickedness '
in High Places."
There was six. months ago a celebrated shop
called "Harding's." Everyone about town knew
that fashionable resort iu Pall-mall. From the
Queen downwards it was the high place for high
, dress. True, the prices were high likewise ; but
then, as the fair habituees were wont to say, "You
know the workwomen are well paid, well fed, and
well treated ; there is no slavery there." Yet one
day last. November the house was closed. How
was this ? An excellent connection, great reputa-
tion, an old-established house, wi h great capital
originally to back it, it had been losing money for
years. How could his be ?
It was for this reason—because these ladies--
the higliest and fairest of our lmd—whose names
figure in endless charitable societies, who pay
homage to Mn. Beecher Stowe as the thorn in ihe
sde of slavery, and fall down and worship Bishop
Lawitsleeves as the regenerator of evangelical re-
ligion—/iecause these ladies would not
.pay heir
milliners' bills. The Queen could set a good and
noble example, and I think it, righ, to men:ion it.
She could pay regularly every quarter for what she
required ; but three years at soonest was Form.
enough for the duchess aid most of the rest of the
tram of the silk-and•satin-loving beanie's. How
was it possible for any business 'to answer where
the capital could oi,ly be turned over °flee in three
years, unless the staff were underpaid for overwork,
and the poor girls screwed down to a ne,,die-and-
thread slavery that flesh and blood revolts at ? The
house stops. TLe good debt-, long, long incurted,
amount to many thousands, and the'doubtful debts-
are gi eater, the bad debts more extensive still.
But such noble names ! If t'is be the case with
large bous,is, what must be the case with the
smaller establishments ?
Unlucky for me, an unwilling creditor, the assets,
the books, and the facts have been put into my
hands. BUt the books and the facts have swept
away, with their harsh and cruel reality, that fair
dream which I had from my boyhood of English
true nobility. And were the books, or rather the
black list, published, as it deserves to be, as much
as the balance-sheet of the Royal British Bank, it
would be seen that our English ladies are as extra-
vagant as some 'baronets and honourables are un-
rincipled, and that, though they can buy, they
will hot pay—though they can preach, they will
not practise.
