NIaxims for Young Ladies'.

Never mako your appearance in the morn
ing without having first bathed, if only with
u sponge and quart Of water, brushed and ar
ranged your hair, and dressed yourself neatly
and completely. tIoY gl. u
Keep Jour clothing, especially your uudor-
clothing, in perfect order. Never let pins do
duty as buttons, or strings take tho place of
proper bands. '.p
Examine every garment when it comes
from the wash, and, if necessary, mend it
| with neatness and precision. Do not sew up
the holes in your stockings, as wo have seen
some careless, untidy girls do, but take in o
broad margin around the hole, be it small or
large, with fine darning needle and darning
ccttcn, and cover the fracture with an inter.
laced stitch, SO close as to be as strong as the
body of the stocking, and fine enough to be
ornamental
Stockings mendcd in this way need darn
ing but very few times in the course Of
their existence.
Never carry coarse embroidered or lace
handkerchiefs. Fine plain ones are much
more ladylikc.
Avoid open worked stockings and very
fahoy slippers. Fine plain white hose and
black kid slippers with only strap or rosctte
in front, are more becoming
Train yourself to useful occupation. Re-
member 1t is wicked to waste time, and moth
ing gives such ap impression of vanity and
absolute Stiffness asa habit Of idling, and
never having anything to do

s'"e department o.. household labor upon
yourself and part OF the sowing, and make
1t your business to attend to it. Do not let
call from this idle girl orr visit from that.
or an invitation from the other, Interfere with
the performance Of your duty.
Let your pleasure come in as recreation
not as the business OF your life.
