ECONOMY--And
by
economy
I
do
not
mean
mere
cheapness.
To
buy
a
poor,
flimsy
fabric
merely
because
the
price
is
low,
is
extravagance,
not
economy;
still
worse
if
you
buy
articles
because
they
are
offered
cheap,
when
you
have
no
use
for
them.
In
purchasing
goods
for
the
wardrobe,
let
each
material
be
the
best
of
its
kind.
The
same
amount
of
sewing
that
is
put
into
a
good
material,
must
be
put
into
a
poor
one,
and,
as
the
latter
will
very
soon
wash
or
wear
out,
there
must
be
another
one
to
supply
its
place,
purchased
and
made
up,
when,
by
buying
a
good
article
at
first,
this
time
and
labor
might
have
been
saved.
A
good,
strong
material
will
be
found
cheapest
in
the
end,
though
the
actual
expenditure
of
money
may
be
larger
at
first.
COMFORT--Many
ladies
have
to
trace
months
of
severe
suffering
to
an
improper
disregard
of
comfort,
in
preparing
their
wardrobe,
or
in
exposure
after
they
are
dressed.
The
most
exquisite
ball
costume
will
never
compensate
for
the
injury
done
by
tight
lacing,
the
prettiest
foot
is
dearly
paid
for
by
the
pain
a
tight
boot
entails,
and
the
most
graceful
effects
will
not
prevent
suffering
from
exposure
to
cold.
A
light
ball
dress
and
exquisite
arrangement
of
the
hair,
too
often
make
the
wearer
dare
the
inclemency
of
the
coldest
night,
by
wearing
a
light
shawl
or
hood,
to
prevent
crushing
delicate
lace
or
flowers.
Make
it
a
fixed
rule
to
have
the
head,
feet,
and
chest
well
protected
when
going
to
a
party,
even
at
the
risk
of
a
crushed
flower
or
a
stray
curl.
Many
a
fair
head
has
been
laid
in
a
coffin,
a
victim
to
consumption,
from
rashly
venturing
out
of
a
heated
ball
room,
flushed
and
excited,
with
only
a
light
protection
against
keen
night
air.
The
excitement
of
the
occasion
may
prevent
immediate
discomfort
in
such
cases,
but
it
adds
to
the
subsequent
danger.
