ExTRAvAGANT IDEAS.
The Pernicious Influence They Exert Upon
Girls.

Inc IernlClOus influence Iney Exert upon
Girls.
81 think" said the venerable grand
mother of many girls, that it is
wrong use of money to buy velvets and
brocades and diamonds for young girls
They are neither becoming nor appro-
pirate, to say nothing of the folly of
allowing such extravaganza, Girls
who grow up to Injuries of this sort
usually make fretful, disconnected
women, uncomfortable capricious wives,
and injudicious, unreliable mothers.
Early accustomed to the best of every
thing, they soon weary of that, and
pine with Unsuitable longings for some
thing finer and more costly and rare.
They feast on boolSsof widest romance,
which tell of jewels of fabulous value,
palaces more splendid than the skill of
man ever built, silks and laces, draper
les and decorations that only the fever
heated imagination of disconnected
spirit could create. Kingdoms rise and
fall, beauty triumphs, women are
adored and live and die, more after the
fashion of angels than human beings.
"And when she closes the book her
house appears poor and mean in the
memory of that of which she has just
read; her jewels are trash as compared
with those worn by the princess; her
husband is, oh, so commonplace! when
contrasted with the almost divine be-
ings of the story; and her children are
cross, quarrelsome and untidy, alto
gether different from the cherubs she
has read about What wonder that she
is peevish and fretful and unreasona-
BILE, possibly cruel, or that some day
she breaks all bonds of propriety, and
following the example of the heroine
in one of the wild romances with which
her head and heart are full, leaves her
home and friends, and filings herself
into the tide that leads to destruction.
"And does her moth er realize that
she is the one at fault-that she sowed
the seeds of discomfort by giving her
child everything she asked for, and
nournished the spirit of unrest by al
lowing her to think that nothing was
too good for her?
Maternal affection sometimes makes
grave mistakes, but never more hope
less or fatal ones than when girls are
permitted to gather to themselves all
of the treasures of this world while yet
they are the merest children. IN. Y
