But the evil does not stop here. These fashionable mothers transmit their diseases to their feeble offspring. And they clothe their feeble little girls as unhealthfully as they clothe themselves, and soon bring them to the condition of invalids, or, which is preferable in many cases, to the grave. Thus fashion fills our cemeteries with many short graves, and the houses of the slaves of fashion with invalids. O God, must this state of things continue?

Men det onde stopper ikke her. Disse modebevidste mødre overfører deres sygdomme til deres svage afkom. Og de klæder deres svage små piger ligeså usundt som de klæder dem selv, og pådrager dem hurtigt invaliders vilkår, eller som det sker i mange tilfælde, sendes til graven. Derved fylder moden vore kirkegårde med mange små grave, og modeslavernes huse med invalider. Oh Gud! Skal denne tilstand af tingene fortsætte?
