Where Some Girls Make Mistakes.
English Magazine. There are some
girls who, instead of making. themselves
useful and resting calmy In their maiden
dignity, think only Of getting married
and use questionable means to. achieve
their purpose, Forgetting the proverb:

thought in women. They want their
wives to be better than themselves.
They think that women should be the
conservators of all that is restrained,
chivalrous and gentle. .
