The most important point IN &c nOmy
in dress is In the taking care of garments
after they are made up. We should
take care of them first while wearing
them We have all noticed quite a dit
ference in the way different people wear
their garments, one class we fad nice
and neat in their dress, another class
slovenlY. 1t is quite evident that when
garments are made to fit we'll and are
neatly worn they will last longer than
when badly Cited and slo7enly worn
think it is one of the most important
points in the education of children to
teach them neatness and care IN the
wearing of dress. Early education in
this respect will cause the young to
form habits of neatness which will be
valuable to them through life. Some
people seem to think that it is impossible
to work or labor and at the same time
be neat and clean in their dress. We
think this a mistake | have seen men
doing all kinds of farm labor who all
ways looked very nice and clean.
A gain | haYe seen ladies doing all
sorts Of house and kitchen work but al
ways appearing tidy and nice. Such
persons Gel tainlY have had an early train
ing in this respect and it thus becomes
dress neatly than otherwise In the next
place it is very important to take care
of garments when not IN use. 1t Is an
excellent rule to have place for every
thing and everything In its place, paro
ticulaTly clothing, hats, boots and shoes
| think in many homes clothing is more
worn out by being thrown about than
by actual wear. 1t is the natural DISPOSE
ton of the uneducated child when it
gets large enough to undress itself to
throw it's clothes all oyer the room to b.
walked over and otherwise abused Let
US be careful then to teach children
to take care of their garments when cast
Off Then when they are grown they
will have formed habits of care, which
amountto a great saving in dress.
consider it economy to procure the best
articles for clothing-thas Is, the best
that can be procured for certain pur-
poses If you buy a piece of goods, get
the best. Don't buy half priced articles,
for one garment made of domestic that
costs a shilling a yard will wear longer
than two made of 10 cent domestic,
There then in a saving In cost, in making
&c So it Is with all wearing apparel
would advise my sisters to always

he dress is made there will be some of
the goods left Then If the dress is
neatly made and neatly worn fer a year
or two don't throw it away because it
is out of style but turn it and trim It
from the way it was before and people
will think that you have ne = dress
| Will now say to our brothers don't be
ashamed to wear patched clothes while
you are at work on your farm, for be-
lieve every good wife who studies the
interest Of her husband will keep his
clothes well patched
And now, my marriedsisters, as a new
year is about to dawn upon US, / propose
that We form club and enter into an
agreement that we purchase no dress
goods finer than calico Iii nv npin-
len that we can pass one year IN calico
aud feel just as comfortable on New
Years day 1876 as If we had been
clothed in purple and fine linen every
day. Who will join my class
