 In soft accents sweet and low,

 Though tiny sins shall be as scarlet

Many young people think that an idle
life must be a pleasant one; bat there
are none who enjoy so little, and are such
burdens to themselves, as those who have
nothing to do. Those who are obliged to
work hard all day enjoy their short
periods of rest and recreation so much,
that they are apt to think if their whole
lives were spent in rest and recreation it
would be the most pleasant Of all.


But this is sad mistake, as they
would soon find out if they made trial
of the life they think SO agreeable. One
who is never busy can never enjoy rest ;
for rest implies relief from previous
labor, and if our whole time were spent
in amusing ourselves, We should find it
more wearisome than the hardest day 5
work. Recreation is only valuable as it
unbends us the idle can know nothing
of it.

settle down to a life Of enjoyment but

often glad to return to their old occupa.

No matter what the reported fashion
may be, always consult the style OF the
wearer in making dress. \ slayi>h cX-
actness in following set pattern, is stupid
ity itself, and has often destroyed the
beauty Of an otherwise elegant garment.
In these days of paper patterns, with
very little care, styles may be selected
that will need but little alteration; but
still in every instance the dressmaker will
do well to consider It's adaptation, IN style
and trimming, to the person she Is TO it.
In selecting pattern the first thing to be
considered is not its intrinsic beauty, but
its suitability to the person who has 1t IN
view. The whole makeup Of costume
for a tall, slender person should widely
differ from that arranged for one who j.
short and stout. \ slender figure WILL
usually permit much more slocye.drapery
box-pleating about the corsage and ininess
of skirt-trimming, than would be beeom-
ing for a rotund form. \ dressmaker
should be always an artist, and have as
keen and correct an eye to effects ofiorm,
color and arrangement Of drapory as a
painter. She should at once see hoS to
modify given patterns to suit the idiosyn'
crasies Of her customer. We make il q
rule to study the style of every customer
before putting scissors to the cloth to Ne
