Jeiferson's Advice to his Daurhtar

The following advice in reference to Young
lady's dress Mr.. Jefferson addressed to his
daughter Martha, when at school in pbiladel-
| phia:
" Annapolis, December %, 1851 omittad
In that letter to advise you on the subject of
dress, which knew you are little apt to nep-
lect. | do not wish you to be gaily clothed at
this time of life, but that what you wear
should be fine of its kind. But above air
things, and at all times, let your clothes be
clean, whole and properly put on Do not
fancy you must wear them till the the dirt is
visible to the eye. You will bo the last who
will be sensible of this. Some ladies think
they may, under the privileges of the dishabille.
be loose and negligent of their dress in the
morning. But be you from the moment YOU
rise till you go to bed, as cleanly and properly
dressed as at the hours of dinner or tea.
lady who had been seen as sloyen or slut in
the morning will never eface the impression she
has made, with all the dress and pageantry
she can afterwards involve herself in. Moth
ing is so disgusting to our sex as a want of
cleanliness and delicacy in yours I hope, there
fore, the moment you. rise from bed your first
work will be to dress yourself in such style as
that yon may be seen by any gentleman without
his being able to discover a pin amiss, or any
other circumstance of neatness wanting
The accomplishments which Jefferson priced
in young lady, as indicated IN the following
letter to hls daughter Maria, are not all, such
as are most cultivated in our day
NEW YORK, April 11th, I79O.-Where are
you, my dear Maria? How do you do 4? How
are you occupied? Write me letter by the
first post, and answer me all these questions.
leii me whether you see the sun rise every day?
now many pages day you read in Don
Quixote how far you are advanced in him
whether you repeat a grammer lesson every
day I? what else you read? how many hours
day you sew ? whether you have an opportuni-
" OF continuing your music? whether YOU
know how to make pudding yet, to cut out a
beefsteak, to SOW spinach or to set hen? be
good, my dear, as have always found YOU?
never be angry with anybody, nor speak harm
of them; try to let everybodys faults be for
gotten, as you would wish yours to be; take
lore pleasure in giving what is best to another
than in having it yourself, and then all the
world will love you, and more than all the
world,
