OF Beware of a woman who worshps
dress. In nine cases out Of ten such woman
is without single redeeming qualification.
Dressy people are generally those who lack
brains and education, and cheat themselves
into the belief that the world, in admiring
their gewgaws, forgets that their hearts are
untenanted by single womanly emotion.
A mar who is attracted by mere dress, is
undeserving of the name, and is dear bar
