ies of children who have lived under careless, untidy conditions, and to give them ideals of cleanliness and order. She will do her part of the school work cheerfully and thoroughly, that she may know how work should be done, and how to train others--her children, perhaps, if so favored. The colored girl beautiful will be taught the value and use of money, and the relative value of character, education, and other things, which money cannot buy. She will be taught the care and cleanliness of the body, simplicity of wearing apparel and appropriate becoming inconspicuous costumes for church, school, street and home.

Taste and simplicity will rule, for the home will
