The Creoles' Old Fashioned Ideas.

The Creoles cling TO the old fashioned
idea, which somehow has almost disap-
peared, that simplicity of attire best BELTS
youth. Even if q young girl be not pretty
according 20 rule, there is a certain beaute
de jeuuesSe which renders superfluous the
magnficence OF costly garments. Her
slender arched feet must be bjen chausses,
and her pretty hands well gloved All her
life she has been taught that the business
of women is TO be beautiful; what is not
hers by grace must be won by works Fate
NAV ordain that she do the cooking but
those slender fingers will never reveal the
works of her hands for she dons her gloves.
spread with cold cream, as regularly every
night rs she says her prayers. Her finger
nails must be cut luste au point, and the little
half moon at their base never suffers eclipse
Dear to her are fine soaps, perfumes. and
sweet waters. Her hair is diligently brushed
and braided, and she pays special attention
to her teeth.
But all her time is not spent in this cult of
exterior self. She sews for the older and
younger members Of the family. and for very
poor friends. She busies herself in works of
charity, and she helps the younger children
with their music and lessons. She cultivates
her voice, or takes up another language
English comes 5rippngly from Ter tongue
with delicious accent. What would not her
American girl friends give to speak their own
language as dainiily as she docs, And when
she essays the English slang OF the hour
nothing can be more droIl more incongru-
Gus. She is not aware that it is slang How
should she know, when 50 many of her
American friends use it! Surely they should
know their own language Home keeping
virtues too are hers. She eau bake and boil
and stew. She knows wherein the glory Of
one washer womGn's clothes differs from the
dinginess of anothar's. She understands the
washing and mending of lace, the mysteries
OF preserves and jellies, the curative proper
