THE MODEL LADY.

By Luella Plants

SHE is truthful and honorable. She reverences her Maker and is a Christian. She has been improved by culture, has a good literary education, and her household education is thorough. She knows how to walk, and holds herself erect. If she is tall or short, she is not ashamed of it. Her dress is always neat, simple—never superfluous. She has good society manners, and behaves herself well in every place. She knows how to talk; all her words are well chosen, and she never uses slang phrases in her conversation. Our model lady may be rich or poor; she is prepared to fill any station in life; does not care for being called an old maid, and would not marry merely for a home or a name. The model lady makes the best of herself and her situation. She is a blessing wherever she goes, and God will bless her in this world, and prepare her for a better world.—Luella Plants, in Free Methodist.
