And if you will always remember one thing when you are at home, to wear an apron when you are doin' anything, and when you are away, to hold your hands high, you will gain by it.

There is no need of anybody gettin' the front breadths of their dresses all shiny by rubbin' their hands on them.
When you are at school you must remember and hold your school-books so they won't touch your dress.

Then there is another thing you must remember, not to move your arms any more than you can help, that makes the waist wear out under the arms.

There isn't any need of your movin' your arms much if any when you are in school, that I can see, and when you come home you can change your dress.

You might just as well wear out your colored dresses when you are home.
