aglow; will mind her health, her
physical development, and her moth
er; will adopt costume both sensible
and conducive to health; will not
confound hypocrisy with poiteness;
Will not place lying to please above
frankness; Will have courage to cut an
unwelcome acquaintance; will not
think refinement French dup!icity:
that the assumed hospitality where
hate dwells in the heart, is better than
condemnation; will not confound
grace OF movement with silly afecta-
ton; will not regard the end of hel
being to have beau.
The coming girl will not look to
Paris but to reason for her fashions:
will not aim to follow a foolish fashion
because milliners and dressmakers de-
cree it; will not torture her body,
shrivel her soul with puerilities, OF
ruin it with wioe and pleasure. In
