talking to young men, though they
are acquaintance.

popularity to be accompanied by

tions. 1t only cheapens you, and
may draw you into circle of ac~
quaintances you willregret having
| formed.
Don't sanction wine drinking when
out TO parties or weddings. Your
simple act OF declining the proffered
glass may act as check upon your
companion. Tacit dsapproyal some
times does more good than the most
eloquent temperance lecture.

the sweetheart will not give up the
dangerous habit, it is very certain
the husband will not,

men, either at friends home, in the
park, or at any place but your faith
er'S house.
Don't expect to have exclusive use
of the parlor for yourself and callers.
Others of the family have the same
rights as yourself, and your conver-

ners and dress of your brothers.
Nothing so unsexes woman as mas
culine ways.

accomplishment that no girl needs
despise, and the kneading Of it is
grand exercise.

dress. While it is your duty to look
your very best with the means at
your command, it is wrong to give
so much time and thought to the
adornmcnt of your person, while
your mind is starving for want of
proper food, You need not be a

see any one better to dress for than
those in the home circle. They are
the ones to be cheered by your sweet
wholesome appearance, and not
strangers.
