" To dress out of fashion is to make one's self the subject of remark, a contingency which every woman ought to avoid. How would even a man like to go down the street, in knee-breeches, and with powdered hair, as his great-grandfather did? For a woman to be behind fashion is absurd. To make one's self conspicuous, in any way, is a mistake.
