DETAILS--Be
careful
always
that
the
details
of
your
dress
are
perfectly
finished
in
every
point.
The
small
articles
of
a
wardrobe
require
constant
care
to
keep
in
perfect
order,
yet
they
will
wofully
revenge
themselves
if
neglected.
Let
the
collar,
handkerchief,
boots,
gloves,
and
belts
be
always
whole,
neat,
and
adapted
to
the
dress.
A
lace
collar
will
look
as
badly
over
a
chintz
dress,
as
a
linen
one
would
with
velvet,
though
each
may
be
perfect
of
its
kind.
Attention
to
these
minor
points
are
sure
tests
of
taste
in
a
lady's
dress.
A
shabby
or
ill
fitting
boot
or
glove
will
ruin
the
most
elaborate
walking
dress,
while
one
of
much
plainer
make
and
coarser
fabric
will
be
becoming
and
lady-like,
if
all
the
details
are
accurately
fitted,
clean,
and
well
put
on.
In
arranging
a
dress
for
every
occasion,
be
careful
that
there
is
no
missing
string,
hook,
or
button,
that
the
folds
hang
well,
and
that
every
part
is
even
and
properly
adjusted.
Let
the
skirts
hang
smoothly,
the
outside
ones
being
always
about
an
inch
longer
than
the
under
ones;
let
the
dress
set
smoothly,
carefully
hooked
or
buttoned;
let
the
collar
fit
neatly,
and
be
fastened
firmly
and
smoothly
at
the
throat;
let
shoes
and
stockings
be
whole,
clean,
and
fit
nicely;
let
the
hair
be
smooth
and
glossy,
the
skin
pure,
and
the
colors
and
fabric
of
your
dress
harmonize
and
be
suitable
for
the
occasion,
and
you
will
always
appear
both
lady-like
and
well-dressed.
