Economy In Dress,

To be sure, these are hard times, and pru-
dence is needful; but, my dear ladies, that is
poor economy that leads you to buy cheap
goods simply because they are cheap. In the
long run this plan does not pay. If you buy
but little, buy good material. Everybody
could contrive to have three dresses in wear.
If it is important to have one really good
dress, it is equally important to have good
second best to save it.. Many poor women de-
stroy best dress by wearing it at unsuitable
times, simply because they have no other pre-
scntable in which to go out. A richer neigh
Dor could save her silk on rainy day by wear
ing coarscr and more suitable dress. We
know u lady who, on a small income, manages
to dress handsomely on all occasions, going
out a great deal in fashionable circles. 1t
takes science, but she is equal to it; she buys
one good dress year, this she has made up in
the prevailing style, and sets it aside as her
very best for dinner parties, sunny sabbaths
and the like. The last years best dress is re-
modelled into an excellent second best, which
ismost used of the set 1t serves for afternoon
wear, for general street wear and dull Sundays.
Then comes the third best, which is made,
most likely, ofscvcral old dresses, ripped apart
and turned to the best account This is for
very common use, but looks very well even in
the street. for the materials of which it is made
were of the best in their day, and such goods
have perennial youth. The other accessories
of her toilet are always elegant. She never
buys cheap lace which wears out in a season,
but procures the real, which lasts for years.
Again she saves all her peces-every scrap of
silk, satin, or vclvet-and is never at loss for
the materials for bright-colorcd bow or n
hcaddress.

plains; and | was greatly entertained by his
accounts of the peculiarities of that occupa-
ton, and learned many things new to me-
He told me, among other things, that the
cowboys, while tending mounted on their
why mustang ponies) their Texan cattle,
which are almost rs wild as butfaloes, and as
dangerous to a man on foot are accustomed
to sing great deal to while away the lonely
hours. AT night they hobbe their ponies,
and, wrapped in a blanket, lie down to sleep
ON the prairie, a little way from the CATTLE
Sometimes in the night thunder clap or
some strange sound will start up the cattle
with wild alright, and they will snort and
paw the earth, and in a moment wild rush
and stampede would commence; but the cow
boys would spring up, and while they loose
and mount their ponies they commence sing
ing their old songs. The cattle-hearing the
well-known and accustomed voices--will
soon quiet down, thinking all is right, and re-
sumo their rest again.
