An exchange, which is edited by a misera ble old bashelor, says: It is aald the busbandi of the United 8tatei • >end annually $28,000,000 for silk dresses fo heir wives. What if they dc? Most of the silk dreeaee are bought by persons who can aff:rd tbe expense. Extravagance is a human failing, but we doubt if it is half as frequently developed to a danger, ns degree among women as among men. More households are saved from suffering by the thrift and eoonomy of women then by tbe energy of men. The alleged figures for silk dresses look large when considered by themselves. Con trasted with tbe expenditures for masculine extravagacoo they would shrink into insignificance. The MACONS HONORED GUESTS.
