"Another
effect
of
such
attentions
as
awaken
a
consciousness
in
a
young
lady's
mind,
is
the
gratification
of
vanity,
perhaps
until
then
latent
in
her
heart.
The
first
preference
is
apt
to
upset
the
reason
of
its
object
as
of
him
who
shows
it.
The
word
vanity
does
not
seem
to
imply
danger.
Vanity
is
generally
considered
an
innocent
failing;
but
it
is
innocent
only
as
some
kinds
of
food
are
to
a
healthy
subject.
On
a
weak,
or
even
on
an
inexperienced
mind,
it
acts,
sometimes,
fatally
for
the
vain.
A
girl
is
either
carried
away
by
admiration
so
as
to
be
flippant
and
foolish,
or
she
is
blinded
by
her
vanity
to
the
failings
of
the
man
who
first
admires
her.
She
is
intoxicated
with
the
notion
of
an
offer
of
marriage;
she
imagines,
in
her
simplicity,
effervesced
as
it
is
by
the
infusion
of
flattered
vanity,
that
she
has
inspired
such
an
attachment
as
will
never
be
recovered,
should
she
prove
adverse
to
it.
Many
an
engagement
has
been
formed
under
this
conviction,
and
fulfilled
only
to
prove
its
fallacy,
for
the
love
which
was
supposed
too
strong
to
survive
disappointment,
has
expired
in
the
fruition
of
its
hopes.
"To
guard
against
either
of
these
risks
to
happiness,
a
well-educated
girl
should
endeavor,
in
this,
to
exercise
her
judgment.
She
should
be
sincere.
She
is
blameable
to
ridicule
the
attentions
which
are
meant
as
complimentary
to
her.
They
ought
to
be
at
least
regarded
with
respect.
