DRESSES.
MORNING
DRESS--The
most
suitable
dress
for
breakfast,
is
a
wrapper
made
to
fit
the
figure
loosely,
and
the
material,
excepting
when
the
winter
weather
requires
woolen
goods,
should
be
of
chintz,
gingham,
brilliante,
or
muslin.
A
lady
who
has
children,
or
one
accustomed
to
perform
for
herself
light
household
duties,
will
soon
find
the
advantage
of
wearing
materials
that
will
wash.
A
large
apron
of
domestic
gingham,
which
can
be
taken
off,
if
the
wearer
is
called
to
see
unexpected
visiters,
will
protect
the
front
of
the
dress,
and
save
washing
the
wrapper
too
frequently.
If
a
lady's
domestic
duties
require
her
attention
for
several
hours
in
the
morning,
whilst
her
list
of
acquaintances
is
large,
and
she
has
frequent
morning
calls,
it
is
best
to
dress
for
callers
before
breakfast,
and
wear
over
this
dress
a
loose
sack
and
skirt
of
domestic
gingham.
This,
while
protecting
the
dress
perfectly,
can
be
taken
off
at
a
moment's
notice
if
callers
are
announced.
Married
ladies
often
wear
a
cap
in
the
morning,
and
lately,
young
girls
have
adopted
the
fashion.
It
is
much
better
to
let
the
hair
be
perfectly
smooth,
requiring
no
cap,
which
is
often
worn
to
conceal
the
lazy,
slovenly
arrangement
of
the
hair.
A
few
moments
given
to
making
the
hair
smooth
and
presentable
without
any
covering,
will
not
be
wasted.
Slippers
of
embroidered
cloth
are
prettiest
with
a
wrapper,
and
in
summer
black
morocco
is
the
most
suitable
for
the
house
in
the
morning.
