shabbat 140

cure for a heavy-heart

and to his daughters, to hide their bodies

Hisdah gives advice to be frugal for poor torah students, and to his daughters to be modest and not reveal their bodily functions, and that concealment is more enticing. for english translation of this talmud page, see here)
