Either course of action may possibly place you in an undesirable or ridiculous position after a while, when the fad or fashion has either shown itself to be vulgar and impossible  or has come to stay! EITHER CAUSE OF ACTION MAY POSSIBLY PLACE YOU IN AN UNDESIRABLE OR RIDICULOUS POSITION AFTER A WHILE WHEN THE FAD OR FASHION HAS EITHER SHOWN ITSELF TO BE VULGAR AND IMPOSSIBLE OR HAS COME TO STAY
d the thought of a lady bicycling would have made your grandmother shudder! About every fad, every fashion, every new thing which is started, the wise woman, Caroline, reserves judgment. Because these matters are not questions of right and wrong, which a sense of duty should direct her to have a decided opinion upon immediately; they are merely questions of taste and expediency, and a calm review of them first is necessary before making up the mind. If a girl or woman is of a sufficiently distinguished personality, and is endowed with prestige and great social position, she can start originalities herself if she pleases. But, if she is a very young girl, this is most hazardous, and the really sensible thing to do is to follow the oft-quoted maxim of the Prime Minister and “wait and see!” It is as foolish to plunge with ardor into an untested new fad--which you may be ashamed of presently--as it is to treat it with antagonistic scorn and swear you will never have anything to do with it!
