The True Standard Of Dress.


We are always excessive when we sacrifice
the higher beauty to attain the lower one
a woman who would sacrifice domestic affec-
ton, conscience, self-respeci, honor, to love
Of dress, we all agree, loves dress too much
She loses the higher beauty of womanhood
fox the lower beauty Of gems and flowers and
coIors. A girl who sacrifices 70 dress all
her time, all her strength, all her money, to
The neglect of the cultivation Of her mind
and heart, and to the neglect of the claims
Of others on helpfulness, sacrifices the higher
lot the lower beauty.
Her fault is not the love Of beauty, but
loving the wrong and inferior kind. In fine,
girls, you may try yourselves by this stand
| ard You love dress too much when you care
mere for your outward adornings than for
|yopr inward disposition when it aiiiicts you
+ more to have torn your dress than to have
lost your temper when you are more troub-
ID BY an ill-ftting gown than by neglected
auty when you are less concerned at hay-
mg made an unjust comment, or spread a
acandalous report, than at having worn a
IlaMe bonnet when you are less troubled at
Ehe thought of being at the last great feast
silhout the wedding garment, than at being
ound at the party tonight in the fashion of
int year. No christian woman, as l view
night to give such attention to her dress
w allow it to take up all Of three very i'm
Qorhnt things-namely, all her time, all her
{pgth, all her money. Whoever does this,
nyF not the life of Christian, but that OF
ngan; worships not at the Christians
