ExrRAvAGANcE IN DREss-1n the city of Bel
GUM extravaganza has assumed such alarming
proportions that the ladies themselves have been
obliged to combine for the purpose of arrest
ing its disastrous progress. 1t appears that
extravaganza had been for some years source
of constraint in families, and it was noticed
that no marriages were contracted, since the
Young men, frightened at the bills that loomed
up in the distance, preferred to live in ceiba-
cy. The mothers, recognising the inconreni-
ence Of a state Of affairs encouraged by them
selves, have resolved to bring about a salutary
reform, and with this view they have formed
committee which meets once week They
have declared open war with extravaganza,
and every member an tnounces publicly the re-
trenchments made ih her own household ex-
penses. They say that happy results have al
ready been obtained, and that similar associa-
tons are to be formed in the neighbormg towns
and cities Courier des Etats Unis
