Every dress is turned wrong side
out and summed by an open window
once a week. Her under-linen is
arranged at night on chairs, so that
each piece and part receives measure
of air. Her shoes are put on the
window-sill in the sunshine and
cleansed as we'll as may be. Her
wells are washed, if the fabric per-

washes out her stockings every other
day, and dries them in a current of
air and sunlight. The dress-shields
are washed after few wearings; this
involves set of half dozen and a
package of tiny safety pins, but both
are cheap enough to warrant buying
and using. The bath should never
be slighted. Such care of the person
is possible to all except povertys
poorest slaves, since it is not among
the rich that we find those who know
best how to live.-Harper's Bazaar.
