what well-Bred Girls Don't Do.

There are some things a well-bred
young lady never does.
She never accepts valuable present
from a gentleman unless engaged to
him. She never turns around to look
after any one when walking on the
street. She never takes supper or re-
freshmentS at restaurant with a gen
tlemun after attending the thaater un-
less accompanied by a lady much older
than herself. She does not permit
gentlemen to join her on the street
unless they are very intimate acqualnt-
ances She does not wear her mono
gram about her person or stick it over
her letters and envelopes. She never
accepts a seat in street-car from a
man without thanking him. She never
furgctS her ballroom engagement or
refuses to dance with one gentleman
and Immediately dances with another
She never snubs other young ladies,
even if they happen to be less popular
or well favored than herself. She
never laughs or talks loudly in public
places. She never raises her lorgnette
and tries to stare people she doesn't
know out of cuUutenauce. She never
wears clothes SO singular or striking
rs 20 attract particular attention IN
public. She never speaks slightingly
of hen mother and says she don't
care whether her behavior meets with
maternal appreciation or not.
