Lure of Pretty Things. J Never was the lure of pretty things more potent than to-day, when designers and manufacturers combine to tempt the coin out of the pay envelope, and though the older generation shakes

its head at the extravagance of the modern lass it must be remembered that half a century ago there was little of this temptation to be resisted. So when great-grandmother had an attack of “the vapours” or some such mysterious ailment, she pined at home and became as unhappy in mind as she was in body, whereas the modern girl goes out and buys herself a new lipstick or a colourful scarf, bedecks, herself with extra care, and snaps her fingers at bad luck or a grey day.— “Brisbane Courier.”
