- Description
Text advising against dressing extravagantly. "New clothes should only be bought when absolutely necessary, and these should be durable and suitable for all occasions. Luxurious forms, for example, of hats, boots, shoes, stockings, gloves, and veils should be avoided. It is essential not only that money should be saved, but that labour employed in the clothing trades should be set free".
