"I am so glad you came, Ploy dear,"
Baia Grace, "for I am so blue that
everything appears of an indigo hue."
Florence returned her friend's dole-
ful ;speech with a laugh, and taking
a loW rocker, threw aside her hat , and
N: ow tell me all about it, Gracie."
"Well, we've had Buell a scene!"

Grace, laughing at the distressvisibleila
her friend's face. "You see," she con-
tinued, "1 asked papa this Morning for
money to buy a dress for Einraa Clare's
party, and he told me plainly that I
had been so much expense- to him
lately that he really could not afford
me a, new dress just now isn't it too
bad?"
‘4Well !" answered Florence.
"Well, the case is just this: I naust
try to make over this silver and blue!"
"Why, Grace, that lovelydress!
Yon have scarcely worn it
I know it, but it was madelastyear,
and it is all out of date. It is the moat
suitable dress I have, if it Was only in
style,and I amafra,id there isn't
enough for the long ovf3rskirt, and—
oh, dear, I've a great mind not to go at
Tears of vexation filled her eyes and
her brow was wrinkled. with frowns 'moat
unbecoming.
"Don't alter it ;..wear it just as it is,"
suggested Florence.
"Florence Leslie, are you crazy !" de-
manded Grace in astonishment.
"Not at all," was the reply. If you
will wear that witheut change, I will
wear my green silk and. white that was
made even before yours, although papa
gave me money for a new dress yester-
day."
"What do you mean, Ploy?"
"Just what I say, my dear-; Will you
agree to it ?"
Why do you propose it?" asked
Grace, still unable to believe her ears.
Because, Grace, I've been having a
think, all alone by myself,' as little
Ettie says, and.I have come to the con-
clusion. that we girls spend too much
time, thought and care on dress. We
Spend one-half the time at al dress-
maker's, having new dresses made, and
the other. half in our own roams, fixing
over. Now I've decided. that I will not
do it any longer, and,I want you tohelp
me in instituting a reform in our set
in that respect,"
"But what will you do ?" asked Grace,
with great interest. .
"Plenty of things," was the feply
When I need a new, dress, I'll get as
nice as I want, and have it made in
as pretty a style as possible; then I'll
wear it until it is not fit 'to wear, no
matter how many:styles intervene.
English ladies of rank and wealth wear
their clothes out the way they are first
made, but we poor American girls must
spend. all our time, energy, and strength
in devising ways and means to follow
every new fashion that appears. The
consequence is, we do not take enough
out -door exereise to keep us in health;
we neglect home duties ; we neglect
all means of culture, and narrow- our
minds down to the contemplation of
silks, ribbon, feathers and flowers. We
assertible at evening parties, and, h.av-
in,g devoted every thought and energy
to our dress, we can think and tadk• of -
nothing else but appearance. No won-
der gentlemen stoop to converse :with
us ; we have no ennoblina topic to talk
On. It is a shameful wastie
As Florence finished Grace said.:
"Well done, Ploy; you are an en-
thusiast! But if you do as youpropOse,
what will you do with your regained
time and money ?"
vI shall study, for one thing; and
gather a valuable library, instead of
clesets full of old dresses. Now you
understand my plan, will you join me?
Will ou wear that dress unchanged to
Emma CIare's party?",
"1 will r cried Grace, with .unwont-
ed energy. "111 join you with all my
heart? It Nvill rid me of ever so much
anxiety ! 1 believe I should not have
nervous headache so often if I didn't
have to worry so much about what to
wear !"
"Just so," replied Florence.
"And you spoke of negleeting home
duties," continued Grace. "It is true,
I have neglected Rome duties this
morning, to worry over this dress.
Poor little Nina wanted me to practice a
duet with ler, and I was too cross to do
"Find her and try it now," suggested
Florence; "1 want to h,ear !"
All right, and, then rn walk until
dinner -time, and try to get to feeling
better." said Grace, bustling around to
get ready.
About half an hour after, little Nina,
shy, but pleased., was trying her new
duet with sister Grace, while darling
Florence Leslie s-nailecl encouragingly
upon her effort. G -race felt guilty,
when the child threw her arms around
her neck and said. : "" Thank you, sister
you are so gcod!"
Time passed rapidly away, and Mr.
Adams was quite suiprisecl that he
didn't hear Grace complain about
her party dress. Finally his wife said
to him :
"My dear, Grace has acted very
sensibly, I think. If you could afford
her a dress, it would greatly please
me."
Mr. Adams thought for some time, and
then said:
"Well, Pll see."
That day at dilmer he handed Grace
a roll of bills, and said :
Here, Gracie, perhaps I can spare
that amount for your dress. I should
like to let you have all you wish, but
'Us impossible."
But Grace aid. not 'take the money.
'Thank you, papa," said die, 'but
Iny dress is a1read3 provided for; Wed-
nesday evening."
Mrs. Adanas looked her astonish-
ment.
"Yes, mamma," said Grace merrily,
" I am to wear My silver and. blue."
" Why isn't it made over, then?"
"Because lam going to wear it as it
is."
•And then Grace recounted the argu-
other :
wearing the same dress she wore to my
party a year ago !"
"Yes, but how pretty she looks ffwas
the answer. I
"She always looks well, but what
can possess her to wear that dress to-
night?"
" can tell you, said Florence, step-
ping quickly forward, " don't you See
that I wear a old dress; too? Grace
and I have rganized anti-fashio
soeiety, and we want you to join us !".
Site then went over her arguments in
so earnest a manner that the girls
caught- her spirit, and promised their
influence, while the gentleinan, whom
Florence in her enthusiasm had :for-
gotten, clapped his hands, and exclaim-
ed :`
" Well done, Miss Leslie, you are
rightl We gentlemen a,dinire taste in
dress, but not a blind devotion to all the
ridiculous fashions that come up. ;Sue -
cess to your society. Let us hear from
it occasionally."
The infliience. of -those two right-
thinking girls affected a large circle.
They organized a reading -club, and
provided themselves with all the desir-
able books in. the different departments
of literature,' while the improvement
in the ton-eof society was everywhere
visible.
"Girls," said Bertha Ashton, ,as she
entered the . elub-roora one afternoon,
"I believe I shall introduce another in-
nova,tion ! Do you see that dress?"
and she raised the bottom of her skirt
as she spoke.' " Filth and l dirt!" she
continued, in tones of disgust. " I shall
have all ray dresses clear the around
hereafter, and resign my of/eel of
street -sweeper foreverl Who will join
Inc?'
"I, I r eried the girls.
"1.f you have any of my experience,
you feel delightfully free, since it is
found not necessary to fellow every freak
of fashion !" said Grace Adams.
"That is my experience," added Flay
Leslie. "1 am healthier, happier, bet-
ter in temper and morals, and have had
time to get much information. What
is it Bertha?"
" I say, anti -fashion forever !"—Mrs.

A Quaker Courtship.
More than a century ago—it was early
in 1:774—a gentleman, riding at his leis-
ure in his chariot, passed the door of a
thrifty farmer' On Long Island. It was
a well-to-doPlace'but there was noth-
ing to distinguishthe house from others
,in the neighborhood, and he would not
'have thought of it again, but at tile mo-
ment a young land beautiful Quaker 'girl
of scarce 16 entered the yard to 'milk
the cows that were corning . from the
pasture. He saw that she was lovely
in form and- graceful, and scarcely know-
ing wliat he did, he reined in his horse
and asked who lived there: Without
einbarrassment, for thelspeitker was too
well dressed and too gentlemanly to ex-
cite suspicion.; she replied:
" My father,'Daniel Bowne ; wilt thou
not alight and take tea with him ?" . •
The invitation was accepted, and
when the stranger approached the house
he introduced thiroself to Daniel Bowne
as Walter Franklin.
"Thou art known to me by reputa-
tion," said BoWne to his visitor, "and I
am glad to see thee."
They then talked of matters that each
thought would interest the other, Frank-
lin not forgettmg to praise the cows he
had seen in the barnyard; but no men-
tion Was made of the maid who milked
them,. Presently the door opened, and
the young girl entered to prepare the
table and set out the tea things. She
was dressed in the simple oar]) of her
people; her hair was careft!i'llyi smooth-
ed and gathered up into a knot, and a
linen kerchief covered her neck and
bosoro.
"Hannah," said her father, "this is
friend. Walter iFranklin, of New York."
The girl blusbed deeply when she
met the ardent look of the stranger, and
er embarrassment was' none the less
hen she found that no allusion *as

change in her mode of living, Mrs.
Franklin was qpiite equal to her new
position, for 8h3 had been taught to cul-

her children—seven sons and three
