She ought to have discovered early what style of garments suits her; she should have practiced until she can do her hair becomingly; and by exercises, and by care in remembering what is ugly and to be avoided, she should have perfected the grace of her body’s movements. All these things having been looked upon, not as vanities, but as the natural polishing of the body God had entrusted her with, as the shrine for her soul. Her voice should be soft, and her cultivation at least sufficient--should she not be naturally clever--to make her know the topics of the day which are interesting to converse upon; and she should be broad enough not to be prejudiced about any of them.
