Fashion and What Is Right

A PRACTICE is not necessarily wrong because it happens for a time to be fashionable. "Fashion" is exceedingly changeable, and those persons who steadily follow a sensible custom may occasionally find themselves in fashion. Such ones cannot be said to follow fashion, and should not discard a good thing because it chances to be fashionable. There is nothing wrong, but rather the contrary, in doing as other folks do when they do what is sensible and right. The wrong consists in following custom simply because it is custom. Do what is right, regardless of what others do.
