A Few Maxims Tor Young Ladies.

Never make your appearance in
The morning without having first
bathed, if oDiy with a sponge and
quart Of water, brushed and ar
ranged your rand dressed your
self neatly aud mnletely.
Keep your clothing, especially
your under clothing, in perfect or.
der. Never let pins do duty as but
tons, or strings take the place OF
proper bands.
Examine every garment when it
comes from the wash, and, if neces-
sary. mend it with neatness and
precision. DO not sew up the holes
in your stockings, as we have seen
some careless aod untidy girls do |;
hut take IN broad margin around
the hole. be it small or large. with
darning needle and darning cot
ton, and cover the fracture with az
interlacsd stitch. so close as to be as
strong az the body of the stocking,
and fine enough to be ornamental.
Stockings mended 10 this way
need darning but very few times
in he course of their existence.
Never carry coarse embroidered
or laced handkerchief. Fine plain
ones are much more laby like.
Avoid open worked stockings aud
very fancy slippers. Fine, plaio
white hose, and black kid slippers
with only ros2tte in front, are
more becoming.
Train J ourself to some useful oc.
cupation. Remember, it is wicked
TO waste time, and nothing gives
such an impression of vanity and
Stiffness as habit of idling and new
er having any thing to do.
If you are in your fathers house,
take some department. of household
LABOR upon yourself, and part of
the sewing, and make it your BUSH
ness to attend to it. Do nos let a
call from this idle girl, or visit
from that, or an invitation from the
other, interfere with the perior.
nance of your duty.
Let your pleasures come IN as me
recreation, not as the real business
of your lite.
If you want TO marry, do not
court or try to attract the attention
of gentleman. A little wholesome
iudff renee, real or assumed, would
| be much more likely to accomplish
the OBJECT Consider, moreover, tina,
it'll better to be woman than o
wife, and do not degrade your sex
by making your whole existence
turn on the pivot of matrimony.
If you ean, cultivate TO perfection
some art by which you can gain an
independent livelihood. Do it, whetb
er there is any necessity for it OF
not. Do it quietly, if you will. bu'
do it. There is no telling when, Oh
under what circumstances,yo may
| need it.
