Show NEATNESS IN GIRLS. Neatness is a good thing for a girl, and if she does not learn, it when she Is young, she never will. It takea a great deal more neatness to make a girl look well than it does to make the boy look passable; not because be-cause the boy, to start with, is better looking than a girl, but his clothes are of a different sort, not so many colors In them, and people don't expect a boy to look so pretty as a girl. A girl that is not neatly dressed is called a sloven, and no one likes to look at her. Her face may be pretty, her eyes bright: but if there is a spot of dirt on her cheek, and her finger ends black with ink, and her shoes are not laced or buttoned up, and her apron ia dirty, and her collar is unbuttoned, and her skirt la torn, sbe cannot be liked. Learn to be neat, and, when you have learned it, it will almost take care of itself. ' |
