EXPENSIVE DRESSING
_ “There are many silly people in this silly world, but I think the silliest of all is the overdressed woman. The increase of wealth has filled the world with overdressed, women,” says Mr. James Douglas in “London Opinion.” “How does she pass her time in eternity? There are no dressmakers in the next world. How dull and dreary the future life must be for the overdressed woman! “It would be interesting to trace the adventures of a costly gown on its way down the ladder of caste. It would be instructive to study the emotions of its various owners until at. Last it decks the back of the final fond purchaser. What becomes of it in the end? Is it turned into paper and bound into novels describing the ways of dukes and the manners of duchesses?”
