Over-Dressing of Children.A spirt of unwholesome rivalry is; engendered in cliildren by the absiuxMy rich way'in which many parents overdress them. They sacrifice their own appearance in order to lavish money on the little ones, and the only result is to make the - children proud, vain, selfish, and, when old enough, disappointed with the-positiou in life in which they find themselves. Not long ago I noticed in a car a pretty little girl, clad in a coat oi silk plush, trimmed, with chinchilla. She had pretty new boots and silk stockings, one or two rings and a gold necklet and chain. 4iA pretty child, ” X said to the conductor. ; Yes, sir. She * is mine, j That's her mother.” he answered, pointing to a common looking woman rather poorly dressed in a dingy brown suit made of some cheap goods.—Julian Magnus in The Epoch.
