A woman may be handsome or remarkably attractive in various ways; but if she is not personally neat, she cannot hope to win admiration. Fine clothes cannot conceal the slattern. A young woman with her hair always in disorder, and her clothes hanging about her as if suspended from a prop, is always repulsive. "Slattern" is written on her person from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet; and if she wins a husband, he will in all probability turn out an idler or a drunkard. The bringing up of daughters to be able to work, act, and talk like honest, sensible young women, is the especial task of all mothers; and in the industrial ranks there is imposed also the prime obligation of learning how to respect household work for its own sake, and the comfort and happiness it will bring in the future. Housework must be done by somebody, and it might better be well than ill done.—Sel.
