THE ANTITHEsIs OF "DoN'T" ADDRESS
ED TO YOUNG LADIES.
Do be natural a poor diamond is
better than a good imitation.
Do try to be accurate, not only for
your own sake, but for the sake of
your set; the incapacity of the fe-
male mind for accuracy is stand
ing argument against the equality
of the sexes.
Do, at least once in a while, re-
fleet; most things, if worth consid-
Grafton at all, look differently upon
reflection.
Do, if man says he loves you,
try to find out what he means by it;
a good many men love themselves
when they imagine they are loving
you.
Do, if you hear scandalous
story, even from your bosom friend,
forget it; try to remember only
what is to the credit of others.
Do be exact in money matters
every debt you incur means loss to
some one, probably to some one less
able than you to bear it.
Do answer your letters soon after
they are received, and do try to re-
ply to them with some relation to
their contents; u rambling, ill-con-
sidered letter is satire upon youI

gloves and card case; keep the for
mer mended and the latter filled.

more important than your amuse
ment, you can live without one, bu
you'll die early without the other.
Do try to be sensible; it is not (
particular sign of superiority to tall
like fool.
Do put your hairpins in so tha
they will stay; it looks slovenly, t,
say the least, to see them half drop
ping out.
Do be ready in time for church
if you do not respect yourself suffi
ciently to be punctual, respect tn
feelings of other people.
Do get up in time for breakfast.
