. Two centuries of costume in America, MDCXX-MDCCCXX . s was it —it would be absurd if it were not so true and so deepin its sentiment of regret. She and her husband hadset their hearts too much in affection upon a littledog that they had loved well, and she found nowthat it was a vanitye ; and she repented of it, andbade them bear the dog from her bedside. KnowingStubbess love for this little dog (and knowing itmust have been a spaniel, for they were then beingwell known and beloved and were called Spaniel-gentles or comforters—a wonderfully appropriatename), I do not much mind the fierce words withwhich he stigmatizes the vanity and extravagance ofwomen.
