The Sham of Society.—lf you wish to know what hollowness and heartlessness are, you must seek for them in the world of light, elegant, superficial fashion, where frivolity has turned the Heart into a rock-bed of selfishness. Say what men will of the heartlessness of trade, it is nothing compared with the heartles.-ness of fashion. Say what they will of the atheism of science, it is nothing to the atheism of that ronnd of pleasure in which many a heart lives—dead while it lives.
