GENERAL
RULES.
NEATNESS--This
is
the
first
of
all
rules
to
be
observed
with
regard
to
dress.
Perfect
cleanliness
and
careful
adjustment
of
each
article
in
the
dress
are
indispensable
in
a
finished
toilet.
Let
the
hair
be
always
smooth
and
becomingly
arranged,
each
article
exquisitely
clean,
neat
collar
and
sleeves,
and
tidy
shoes
and
stockings,
and
the
simplest
dress
will
appear
well,
while
a
torn
or
soiled
collar,
rough
hair,
or
untidy
feet
will
entirely
ruin
the
effect
of
the
most
costly
and
elaborate
dress.
The
many
articles
required
in
a
lady's
wardrobe
make
a
neat
arrangement
of
her
drawers
and
closets
necessary,
and
also
require
care
in
selecting
and
keeping
goods
in
proper
order.
A
fine
collar
or
lace,
if
tumbled
or
soiled,
will
lose
its
beauty
when
contrasted
with
the
same
article
in
the
coarsest
material
perfectly
pure
and
smooth.
Each
article
of
dress,
when
taken
off,
should
be
placed
carefully
and
smoothly
in
its
proper
place.
Nice
dresses
should
be
hung
up
by
a
loop
on
the
inside
of
the
waistband,
with
the
skirts
turned
inside
out,
and
the
body
turned
inside
of
the
skirt.
Cloaks
should
hang
in
smooth
folds
from
a
loop
on
the
inside
of
the
neck.
Shawls
should
be
always
folded
in
the
creases
in
which
they
were
purchased.
All
fine
articles,
lace,
embroidery,
and
handkerchiefs,
should
be
placed
by
themselves
in
a
drawer,
always
laid
out
smoothly,
and
kept
from
dust.
Furs
should
be
kept
in
a
box,
alone,
and
in
summer
carefully
packed,
with
a
quantity
of
lump
camphor
to
protect
from
moths.
The
bonnet
should
always
rest
upon
a
stand
in
the
band-box,
as
the
shape
and
trimming
will
both
be
injured
by
letting
it
lie
either
on
the
face,
sides,
or
crown.
