There is great difference between the
times OF then and now. Fashion has
got in its deadly work and cut off much
OF the real pleasures of life. Parents
ought never to curtail the playful dis

like, neither does it do any harm. Do
not.harness them to the heavy wheel OF
fashionable dignity, but let them be
jolly girls all their lives.
