Is £ rlrrt pleading. tai.ks with hojilx. BY JMtKIR HYk LUXURY, t | The (abject of luxury in dress is the n'<•orbing topic of ibe day. It i* not only the theme of dissatisfied husbtod* and newsptper paragraphitts, hat it bos been honored with attention to high senatorial quarter*, and provoked a meeting from six thousand j fodigotol young men. of Marseilles, who protest against being obliged, by marriage, ■ to p*y (ocb BXtoosivr milliners' hilts. This ia serious. When a Senator in the legislative balls of gay France finds il neeettiry to utter a public rebuke to women, on account JT their *howy at tiro, and young men make rdwa of celibacy, to last until .. there is a return to something approaching JM the old-fashioned (implicit)', we may be certain that tbe times are oat of jointthat them is something rotten iu Denmark. .. , though whether the original fioltffies with ' those upon whom it is charged, is still an open qasstion. A French lady, in reply to the erase Senator's stricture* think* not. Hechartes that the fashion* are set by tbe fast wnmtn • of (he demi-monde, and that lb> ir extravagant caprices are adopted as authority by dignified ladlea, by the virtuous wives and mothers of French society. His lady cor- j respo.dnd does Dot deny this; but she • rather pertinently rejoins, thai if they done it, tbe set was in aelf-defen-e— il was be- ' cause they discovered Ibst their husbands preferred tbe showy attractions of this shameless class to lbs quiet and somewhat monotonous gravity of housewifely habits and attire. She thinks it a very pardons, bis sio in women to endeavor to win b»i k J their husbands' affections by using. t«msiWlBtrmeelves look pjxjty, •orov»f tb*money thai they would otherwise U*t*b on disgraced sod abandoned outra-tajl ^ This is h sharp sad plausible argument. but it is ooe which ws should be sorry !• 1 see acted upon by American wom-n. It t never right to do a^Llhat good may ci.no . Still there is no reason why all lost- an. 1 elegance (boot" be monopolkjeil by the uu scrupulous ana vicious. Good women haw a perfect rightlo make themselves look a> pretty as limy please, but they should asve. forfeit their own eelf-re^irct by itnmedtsri exposm e, such as lbs extrsme of the pi*-- . sent fssbioo dicta* * ; or his goo game by an expenditure ynndwhal th-ir bosbaou'* rig'.tful mean- will clearly afford.

guilty then he. if, yielding to t*m'ptstioo, If- take* what do#* nut belong to him. — It is stupid sod commonplace to/eiterate that the rno-t "rosily and fa-r tunable style* are not most hemming. There are plenty of men, as well as women, who think they are, who admire "novelties" with the entbnsi*«iii of s Parisian mixJiitt or a young Istiy just "out," and who are always to It" seen in the trsin of the fhst and most ex. pehgyte importation of dry goods. * Hut such a taste is an unworthy one for good women to rater to. To look as well end attractive es possible, is duo to others: not to sacrifice any principle or ony part of their higher nature in so doing, is due to themselves* It is tint true, a* peofUr some times m. that only inferior men urn caught by the #")* Hutteriogs of the briiliont hutterBle* of j society. t,r the stiff ro«tte befiefui emici meats of those "whose wsys go down unto j death."
