Too much—too dreadfully much of everything! This girl's clothes probably represent greater money outlay than do those of the girl opposite, from the rhinestone buckle on her cap to her high heeled, patent leather shoes. Yet what is the effect? Cheapness, bad taste, unsuitability. Making a woeful attempt to look fine, she adds an elaborate lace collar to a plain cloth coat (which is all wrong), wears a skirt far too old for her in cut, dons fancy gloves, impressive beads, an exaggerated hair-bow, and a jingly metal belt—too much, indeed!
