CONSIDERABLY TRUE.
We find it stated in a paper that a well-bred woman,
if surprised in a somewhat careless costume, does not try
to dodge behind a door to conceal deficiencies, nor does
she turn red and stammer confused excuses. She
remains calm and self-possessed, and makes up in dignity
what she may want in decoration. This is true. The
most sensible woman we ever saw was one who, when her
husband took us home on a washing day to look at his
new house, never made one word of apology for the confusion
that existed, nor once begged us not to “look
round.”
