KEEP YOUR ROOM TIDY.
A look into a girl’s room will give one an idea of what kind of woman she will probably become. A girl who keeps her clothes hung up neatly, whose room is clean always, will ho very apt to make a good wife and a successful woman. Order and neatness are essential to our comfort as well as to others about us. A girl who throws down her things anywhere will do things in a slovenly, careless way. A girl who does not make her bed till after dinner—and she should always make it herself rather than have a servant to do it—and who throws her dress or bonnet down in a chair, will make a poor wife in nine cases out of ten. if all the world could see how- a girl keeps her dress-ing-room, many unhappy marriages would be saved. Always be as tidy about your person and room as if all your friends could always see you. Get into the habit of order and neatness, and it will come easy in life afterwards.
