PLAIN TALK TO GlRLs.-Your everyday
toilet is a part of your character. A girl
who looks like 'fury" or sloyen in the
morning is not to be trusted however fine
ly she may look in the evening No mat
ter how humble your room may be, there
are eight h;ngs it should contain--name-
y: a mirror, wash-stand, towel, soap,
hair, nail and tooth brushes. These are
Just as essential as your breakfast, before
which you should make good use of them.
Parents who fail to provide their children
with such appliances not only make a
great mistake, but commit sin of omiss-
ion. Look tidy in the morning, and after
the dinner-work is over improve your tot
let, Make rule of your early life to
"dress up" for the afternoon. Your dress
may or need not be any better than calico,
but with ribon or flower, or some orna-
ment, you can have an air of selfrespect
and satisfaction that invariably comes with
being well dressed. A girl with fine sensi-
bilities can not help feeling embarrassed
and awkward in a ragged, dirty dress,
with her hair unkcmpt, if u stranger OF
neighbour comes in. Moreover, your self
respect should demand the decent appar-
reling of your body. You should make it
a point to look as we'll as you can, even
fyou know nobody sees you but your
self. -Erch0nqe. -
