SHE IS NEAT

We all have among our acquaintances the girl yvho, yvithout being in the least good looking, ahvays manages to look neat and well dressed. Perhaps she has only a small dress allowance, and yet yvhonever you liappen to meet _ her she looks 'smart and’ attractive, yvhile other girls with tyvice the money at their command .too often look and dowdy, says tho Montreal "Star.” What is the neat girl’s secret,? Nothing more nor less than taking, care .of her clothes; she has a place for everything, and everything is kept in its place; her ribbons, gloves, handkerchiefs, etc., are not all huddled together in one d rawer, neither do they lie about on the tables and chairs until they are yvantod.

Every article of .apparel is put ayvay yvith tho most scrupulous care, first being dusted, shaken or mended, ns the case mav. be. There is a great difference, too, in the way, in yvhich girls put on their clothes, and very often a girl dressed in a shirt waist and plain skirt yvill look twice as neat as the one clad in au expensive gown, the reason being simuly this; The one has put her dress on anyhoyv; the other has taken care that all shall he neat and fresh. It is the duty of all parents to see that their children are taught from their babyhood to take proper care of their yvoaring apparel, for the child who lets clothes drop off her and lie in a heap oh the floor invariably grows into the careless untidy woman. —"Science Monitor."
