penses Of your living or tTousselu, until you are

Don't complain TO the man to whom you are
engaged. Of the different members Of your own
family it is not good preface to matrimonial

Don't write silly letters TO him, even if he is

by word Of mouth. rather than with pen and
ink
Don't expect him to love you rs no man has
ever loved before; the methods Of loving are

satisfied If you have got good, honest love.
Don't believe that lie Is y combination in
