Dress Is a very fair index Of Il young lady's

dressed. according 10 all that | include in that
term, must have many OF the substantial quail
ties that constitute a good character and are
essential to domestic comfort.
Some young girls are apt to think that the
must important item in their dress is the mate
rial and trimming. whereas clean stockings, neat
shoes. smooth, well-brushcd hair, and delicately
clean hands, nails and teeth, would make them
look more lldy-like and better dressed in a sim
pie cotton dress than they would be in the finest
merinO without these Accomplishments.
Those things which are most essential to a
neat appearance are most within the reach of
everybody, and, therefore, the neglect OF them
is not To be excused.
Everybody can mend stockings and gloves,
however old they may be. The sooner Il garment
is mended after it begins to require it, the better.
Most girls consider it a settled thing that darn
ing stockings Is drudgery, and without entering
at all into the merits of the case, they cultivate
an unreasonable dislike to it; but as there is
nothing III the whole economy OF dress that turns
10 such good account us good darning, 1T is unwl>e
to make it a ~bugbedr.
| have seen a lady as much stared and wondered
at for saying that she liked to darn as II she had
expressed IA fOndness for the touthache. If any
one wishes To overcome thS imaginary evil, let
her begin with u new set of stockings. take the
whole care of them herself, and mend them at IL
stated time every week.
Many articles of dress are more injured by
want of care in the disposal of them wien of
the person than when IN wear II not put away
they are ruupled and made u look
worse than when worn carefully for Il week.
\ writer who has lately travelled in France.
SAYS Il good deal on the care which French ladies
take OF their clothes when not in wear. She
describes how they fold up their dresses. and
place them carefully away. The French, certain
", understand the whole art of making the best
appearance ON the smallest means and as every
can do something better with her money
than spend it unnecessarily upon dress. it Is well
to learn tie lesson which they can teach. Other
good habits will help you in this; if You have Il
place for everything, and put everything in its
place the moment You take il of. 1t will be Il
great means of preserving your clothes IN nice
order.
The practice of coming into the rarlor with
your walking-dTvS> On, anu thIUuiuE your bonnet
down ON one chair, and your cloak on another
and, then, when at last you must carry them
away, gathering them up anyhow, holding your
bonnet by one string, or with Il grip IN the front
that bends it, will make them look much more
shabby than those which are always carried up
stairs at once on the person Of the wearer, and
put away as they are taken of.
