MARKS OF LADY.
"What IRE the marks OF lady2"
This is aquestion that has recently come to
the Bditot the writer meaning by lady" no
Doubt n well bred, womanly woman.
Well. then. well-bred woman, one who will
be received at al times into the refined home
circle. at face value, be told not only by
what she does and what she does not do; by
what size is and what she is not. Here are
some Of the marks Of her type:
She does not oyerdress wear things out of
season. She is not noisy or familiar, and never
sacrifices tidiness to show.
She does not go about the house in frousy
dress aud rnri-lapers and she is as careful not
TO get grease on her kitchen apron as she is to
keep il 81 her company gown.
Size does not draggie around In shoes down
1T the hee OF bursting at The sides, but is care
fol that lper foot covering Is larger than her
feet, thus pbyiating such slatternly catastro-
pho.
She does not scream with laughter. or sian
you on the back. or nudge you with her elbows
or gossip about her neighbor. or sit in front OF
you ut Oh urch or entertain ent with a hat that
obstructs your vision.
She does not gloves ont at the fingers
and her coat is always brushed, her rubbers
hers tisat Hcatness and sweetness are won1an's
best allotment, and no quantity Of iewelry
fuss and furbeIovs make up for sIouchy
habit or coarse demean0F.
