Good Advice About Dress.

It is important to know what point of dress to emphasize. For instance, one may expend a large sum on a gown, and if the shoes are shabby or ill made, the gloves worn and the bonnet lacks style, the gown is entirely thrown away. Bat the gown may be no longer new; it must now be carefully brushed and well put on, the collar and cuffs, or other neck and wrist trimmings, must be in perfectorder, the boots well made and well blacked, even if not new, the gloves faultless and the bonnet neat and stylish. The effect is of a well-dressed woman ; no man, and very few women, perceive that the dress is not a new one.— Mrs. T. IF. Dewing in Harper's Magazine.
