Here is Elizabeth dressed in her new frock, given to her by her mother, for doing what she is bid like a good girl.

She looks as if she was dressed to pay a visit to some of her friends; but I hope she will not be proud, and get too fond of going from home; she should remember that her frock was made out of the poor silk-worm’s winter house, that her shoes were made out of the skin of a goat, and the pearls about her neck were drawn from the bottom of the sea, and that unless she is pleasant, affectionate, and kind, no body will like her better for her new clothes. There are some little girls who think because they have a new frock on, that they are better than others who are dressed in common clothes, which is not at all right.
