A woman who is we'll known o. one
OF the most brilliant leaders Of society
in Washington had, when she Was q
young girl. bitter ex perience. which shs
can afford to laugh ut now, and tell for
the benefit Of other young girls.
She was the daughter of o poor
country farmer. and lived far ont OF the
reach Of the fashionable world. She
received an invitation to spend q day
and night with some friends in their
cottage at the seaside near Nahant.
I'VE will have little boating in the
morning. and little dancing at night"
said the note of invitation.
She knew that her friends were among
lies in Boston. and resolved not to dis
grace them with her plain attire. a
silk of bright color was bought and
made up into a fantastic-l ooped gown.
with an airy, pinned hat to match, for
the boating party: while for the eve
ming she bought 4 ball-dress of pink
tulle. trimmed with large punches of
artificial roses. The two dresses cost
her whole years allowance.
She arrived in the morning, dressed
for the water-party, and found her
friends in the boat dressed in loosely
fitting gowns of blue flannel. Before
they returned her dress was drenchcd
with tho salt water. She Dir ssed for
evening, and gong down. with bare
neck and shoulders, found her friends
in the simplest summer ,lresses-lawns
and muslins.
They were too courteous to show
their astonishment by a look or a smile.
But, she says. "it was the most bit
ter moment Of my life. The vulgarity
of display was burned into me then. 1
wish could teach every American girl
to abhOr il as do"
Dress is apt to lie the most heavy
burden on the mind of a young girl who
wishes to appear well, hut whose means
are limited. A few works of plain ad-
vice will not he out of place.
Let her eschcw all finery such as cot.
ton laces or cheap jewelrv. Let her
lress be of rs good material as she can
afford, and simply made, but perfectly
fitted. A well-made gown of dark 81 9th.
with linen bands ut the neck and wrists,
would become a'princes. II there bs

Every woman, to increase her infu-

rolors to suit her face and figure. and
