Wings and Halos.

A New York paper tells us that one of the latest society fads is the manufacture and wearing of wings and halos. Lady Huntingdon, of London, is the originator, we are told. The wings are made of white feathers, and worn on the shoulders, after due artistic style, while the halo is elevated on a light and invisible wire frame. Is the idea born of the fear that there will be no such opportunity in the hereafter? Poor “Society”! Would God that she might learn to use her means and time to bless others now. If she did, she would be willing to forego her child’s playthings, and leave the wings and halos to God.
