FOUR
IMPORTANT
RULES.
"Order
is
heaven's
first
law."
1.
A
suitable
place
for
everything,
and
everything
in
its
place.
2.
A
proper
time
for
everything,
and
everything
done
in
its
time.
3.
A
distinct
name
for
everything,
and
everything
called
by
its
name.
4.
A
certain
use
for
everything,
and
everything
put
to
its
use.
Much
time
would
be
saved;
many
disputes
avoided;
numerous
articles
kept
from
being
lost
or
injured,
and
constant
confusion
and
disorder
prevented,
by
the
strict
observance
of
these
four
important
rules.
Dispense
with
ornaments
altogether
rather
than
wear
mock
jewelry.
Depend
upon
it,
silvery
hair
is
better
adapted
to
the
faded
cheeks
of
middle
age,
than
are
tresses
of
nut-brown
or
coal-black,
or
any
of
the
mysterious
shades
produced
by
a
dirty
decoction
called
Hair-dye.
The
habitual
use
of
very
thin
shoes
invariably
makes
the
feet
tender,
and
a
host
of
other
inconveniences
arise
therefrom.
If
you
are
tempted
to
purchase
tight
shoes,
don't,
for
several
reasons;
but
one
may
suffice--you
will
not
wear
them
more
than
twice.
If
you
are
not
quite
certain
of
the
line
between
neatness
and
the
reverse,
be
over-scrupulous
about
your
under
garments.
The
edge
of
a
soiled
petticoat,
or
the
glimpse
of
a
rent
stocking
is
singularly
disenchanting.
