"No woman of refinement will neglect her personal appearance. She will be clean, kempt and becomingly attired, at all times. Self-respect and consideration for others demand it. Despite restricted means and physical disadvantages, any woman can maintain an attractive exterior and she should strive to do so under all circumstances. She is sadly lacking in a sense of fitness who neglects her appearance at home and dresses only for society. In fact her first and chief endeavor should be to present a pleasing picture to her family. Many a domestic tragedy has had its beginning in a dressing sacque. A woman can not afford after marriage to neglect the accessories that attracted her husband before it. But the consideration for him that will prompt her to make a good figure in her social circle should restrain her from extravagance."

 -- Mrs. Charles Harcourt
