CHAPTER XI.
HEALTH: DRESS, AND ITS RELATION TO TEMPERAMENTS.
"Health, brightest visitant from heaven,
Grant me with thee to rest;
For the short term by nature given,
Be thou my constant guest."
Bland.

"Yet oft we slight thy worth, Oh, blessed health,
Poor mortals as we are, till thou art flown;
And thy sweet joys, more dear than fame or wealth,
Touch not our hearts, but pass unfelt, unknown."
Rev. E. Hawley.

WE propose in this chapter to offer a few miscellaneous observations on the preservation of the health, and also on the adaptation of the costume to the particular type of beauty which it is intended to adorn. This will naturally involve some observation in reference to simple hygienic rules; the quality and material most suitable for general wear, and the adaptation of the colour of the garment to the complexion of the wearer.
