pure water is in il. An Orr. It
not only removes all the phi. soil
of the previous day, but also seems
with holy touch to renew the heart,
leaving fresh page for the sweet
new life of the new day. The hair
should be nicely arranged and becom-
ingly. l have often wondered how
women have the courage to present
themselves before their families in
''crimps" have been married many
years, but never yet have felt myself
willing to leave in the memory of my
husband and children single picture
of me in so ludicrous a guise. If. how
ever. you must have crimps. wrap
some becoming bit of vailing over your
Medusa head and hide your horns
from view.
The hair being nicely fixed dress
yourself in calico. or what you will,
that is suited to your work, but have
it pretty and neatly fitting; and always
wear a collar.
A bit of ribbon gives the grace. the
air. the prettiness. A ribbOn-box
should be well supplied. A fresh
collar and ribbon not only make q
woman sweet and comely to look
upon, a morning JOY to the husband
and children. but the woman herself,
conscious of being properly dressed. is
more quiet, less fretful. There is
nothing like slovenly attire to make
a woman hate her work and her home.
Many a hard-worked wife and
mother seems to think it part of her
lot to look like a last years birds
nest. But it is as cheap to dress pref
tily as to dress shabbily, and takes but
little more time
A woman should always be well
dressed mean that her attire should
be neat, becoming, suitable, and such
that she should feel no shame in the
eyes of those who love her best, whose
eyes are always the most sensitive.

wore bright bows on her slippers.
Asked her reason. she said she wished
her boy to notice that her slippers
were pretty, and to associate her with
the prettiness. It was good reason.
Children receive their ideas and
form their habits of thought while yet
children. Little helps the young girl
to learn in after years the Importance
o. perfect cleanliness in dress. if dur
ing the years of childhood she daily
played about mother who was not
clean and nice. Men have passionate
admiration of every thing feminine.
They love daintiness; and daintiness
goes as well in calico as silk.
Dear wives and mothers, keep your
selves pretty. Be lavish in white
aprons; and if the work lulls bit. or
you come to eat or to sit, have white
apron to take the place of the work.

If woman would always be that
beautiful, ungrasped joy that the maid
is to her lover. she should keep her
reserves. hardly know how to fit
words to my thought. The wife should
ever have something more to offer to
him she loves She should be old,
yet new, each day, old in the dear love
and closeness, the closeness of the
married years, old in the dear memo
ries together; old in the common cares
and struggles together; but new in
greater patience. more gentleness, in
some new trick of beauty, new in
thought. more glad in love, more ten
