This "wait and see" attitude I am only suggesting as prudent to adopt over such light matters as fashions and fads. But this, I hope, child, you have been intelligent enough to understand as you have read my words. THIS WEIGHT AND SEE ATTITUDE I AM ONLY SUGGESTING AS PRUDENT TO ADOPT OVER SUCH LIGHT MASSES AS FASHIONS AND FADS BUT THIS I HOPE CHILD YOU HAVE BEEN INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND AS YOU HAVE READ MY WORDS
esentations there were arranged quite differently to ours in England and the august lady said a few words to each _débutante_. When it came to the turn of the American girl, the Queen--a lady of perhaps forty-five--asked her if she was interested in seeing the sights of the ancient city. “Why, no, Your Majesty,” the sprightly maiden replied, “I bicyclate--do you bicyclate? It is no end of fun.” The Queen became very pink and said coldly, “Such pastimes are hardly suitable to my age or position,” and passed on--but the nice point of the tale is that at that very moment the Sovereign was taking lessons in the strict privacy of her own royal garden! Only her perfect sense of the fitness of things made her not expose herself at that early day of the fashion in public, or even admit that she was countenancing the new exercise. Do not think for a moment, Caroline, that, in all this that I have been saying, I am advocating a hypocritical course of conduct which may be applied to other things.
