_Blanch_ is by much the taller, neat, timbersome, and well made, a lively Look and a sprightly Air. _Betty_'s Face is full out as _handsome_ as her _Sister_'s, tho' not so regular, has more _variety_ and striking Beauties, and, with equal _Dressing_, would appear more lovely than the other; but she's a _Slattern_ in her _Dress_. As to their _Tempers_, _Pride_ is the prevailing Passion of the _first_, and _Vanity_ of the _second_; from which naturally, and unavoidably arises, every observable Character of their Mind and Manners. _Blanch_'s Pride makes her selfish and reserved, contemptuous, if not rough, in her Behaviour. _Betty_'s Vanity makes her _open_ and communicative, fond of _shewing herself_ on all Occasions, complaisant, and caressing, to a Degree of Flattery. As _Blanch_ does not know what it is to have Love or Affection for any one but herself, so she expects it from no one, but claims a great deal of Respect. _Betty_ doesn't know what Respect for her means, but to gain her Love and Liking would part with all she had. _Blanch_ is frugal in the main, not very hospitable, and seldom lavish but in private Pleasures. _Betty_ is hospitable to Prodigality, lavish to Folly, and thinks nothing a Pleasure that others don't share in. Hence it comes, that the first loves her Money above all things, the _second_ less than any thing she has any value for at all; that one is anxious to _get_, the _other_ in haste to _spend_. _Blanch_ has a good Understanding, but does not _know the World_, and is commonly _choused_ by her Neighbours. _Betty_ has no Opportunity of _knowing the World_, as her _Sister_ won't let her go much abroad or converse with the _Neighbours_; she has but little Experience, and, to be sure, is not very _wise_, but is the quickest in the World at finding out _a Fool_. The _elder_ is _cautious_, and hides carefully every Fault she is conscious of; the _younger_ is not conscious of any Fault of Folly whatever; so they all come out in her _communicative Fits_, which seize her as often as she gets a Stranger to talk to. _Blanch_ is the more censorious, and _Betty_ the greater Liar. If either of the _Ladies_ think the Picture not like, let them call to mind the Story of a famous Painter, who had drawn the Portrait of a young Man, whostood very well with himself, but didn't please him. "You have drawn me," said he, "exactly the _Reverse_ of every thing I am." _If it be so_, replied the Painter, _that must be your Likeness_, and set the Picture on the Head. _FINIS._ BOOKS Printed for, and Sold by, PETER WILSON, in _Dame-street_.
