SHOPPING
DRESSES--Should
be
of
such
material
as
will
bear
the
crush
of
a
crowded
store
without
injury,
and
neither
lace
or
delicate
fabrics
should
ever
be
worn.
A
dress
of
merino
in
winter,
with
a
cloth
cloak
and
plain
velvet
or
silk
bonnet
is
the
most
suitable.
In
summer,
a
dress
and
cloak
of
plain
mode-colored
Lavella
cloth,
or
any
other
cool
but
strong
fabric,
with
a
simply
trimmed
straw
bonnet,
is
the
best
dress
for
a
shopping
excursion.
STORM
DRESSES--A
lady
who
is
obliged
to
go
out
frequently
in
bad
weather,
will
find
it
both
a
convenience
and
economy
to
have
a
storm
dress.
Both
dress
and
cloak
should
be
made
of
a
woolen
material,
(varying
of
course
with
the
season,)
which
will
shed
water.
White
skirts
are
entirely
out
of
place,
as,
if
the
dress
is
held
up,
they
will
be
in
a
few
moments
disgracefully
dirty.
A
woolen
skirt,
made
quite
short,
to
clear
the
muddy
streets,
is
the
proper
thing.
Stout,
thick-soled
boots,
and
gloves
of
either
silk,
beaver-cloth,
or
lisle
thread,
are
the
most
suitable.
The
bonnet
should
be
either
of
straw
or
felt,
simply
trimmed;
and,
above
all,
carry
a
large
umbrella.
The
little
light
umbrellas
are
very
pretty,
no
doubt,
but
to
be
of
any
real
protection
in
a
storm,
the
umbrella
should
be
large
enough
to
protect
the
whole
dress.
MARKETING--Here
a
dress
of
the
most
inexpensive
kind
is
the
best.
There
is
no
surer
mark
of
vulgarity,
than
a
costly
dress
in
the
market.
A
chintz
is
the
best
skirt
to
wear,
and
in
winter
a
dark
chintz
skirt
put
on
over
a
delaine
dress,
will
protect
it
from
baskets,
and
the
unavoidable
soils
contracted
in
a
market,
while
it
looks
perfectly
well,
and
can
be
washed
if
required.
