If you write a letter to a man
friend, don't put in black and white
that you are Ibis forever" or that
you send a great deal OF love, ever
il 1t be only in jest, but remain his

possible even with acquaintance
that do not demand love or affec-
ton that is to last forever. | wish
girls knew how very ill.bred it Is
TO give or permit familiarities in
YOrd or pen from either men or
women. Learn to keep your per-
sonal affairs to yourself. Learn to
bolieve that your first name can
only be used by those connected
with you by the lies of blood, or
having the right given by u deep
love. Believe me, you can never
regret your self.reSpect as shown
i'll this way, and you will never
cease lamenting permitting a too
familiar Intercourse, that in the fu-
irre Will rise up before you like a
skeleton at a least. A perfect
friendship is like a rose, but after
The leaves of It's glory is passed it
The leaves may be thrown into a
jar, covered with spices and salts
10 bring OIL the fragrance forever,
and be a delight to you wherever
1t is. A friendship that is too ia
miliar may also be likened to a
rose, but n that early loses its
leaves; they fall upon the ground,
and no n treasures them enough
10 gather them up and put them as
u memento of days that have gone
by. For a while there is a sickly
sweet smell, and then they are
~blackened and d%iscolored, and no
Odor comes from them. Conclude
then, III forming your friendships,
to make them only those that can,
when time separates you two, make
pleasant memory for the future,
and one that will not cause a blush
to come upon your face.
There is very little TO call the
people you love if you lavish
words of affection on every stran-
ger whom you meet. If you call a
young man whom you have known

you have known three days "dar-
ling" there will be no tender, Ell.

Girls, who are not of necessity
gushing, are often apt TO speak in
the most familiar manner. Good
speech is certainly pure silver, but
there are SO many places where 81
lence would outweigh il and be
perfect gold. To tell of ones lam
lily affair, 10 tell of ones joys and
worries to some one who has a
sympathetic manner and seems TO
invite 1t, is al once a weakness and
a misfortune. To write a letter in
which you use endearing terms, in
which you discuss personal mat
tiers, !" more than merely indis-
creet-it is dangerous. Don't you

speech or with the pen to a man.
