THERE is good sound sense in the re-
mark made by Howard Glyndon" in the
New York Mnl that mo dress should be
worn hsbitually which prevents free egress
into the street, or garden, or forest. Quite
time enough is taken up in changing the
shoes and in putting on hat, mantle and
gloves. If exercise out-of-doors has to
be preceded by elaborate preparation, it
will gradually fall into disuse. Awoman
wearing a long morning dress while
standing at the door or window is seized
with sudden impulse to take a walk.
But then my dressr 1t is not proper

ing the majority of young ladies would
be were thev to give little more atten
tion to newspaper reading. We do no
mean the flash papers of the day, which
are filled with matter which, if it does NJ
harm, can certainly do no good, but Il
newspapers-those which make US all ia
miliar with the present character and i'm
provement of the age. 1t is well enough
to know something of the worlds history
but it is with the present we have mainl.
to deal, and we know of no more engag
ing trait in a lady's character than an in
telligent acquaintance with passing
events. Every young lady should have al
opinion on the moral, mental, politica
and religious subjects of the times, AM
