A word as to photographs, or rather
as concerning photographs as gifts.
1t is never wise for a young girl or
woman to give her photograph to
young men-promiscuously. The
term is justified because of the fact
that so many girls and women sow
their photographs broadcast, as 1t
were, among their acquaintance OF
both sexes, says the Ladies' World.
A young should be very
chary in making such a gift; in fact,
it should be made to none but near
relatives. 1t is time enough when a
young woman is engaged to a thor
oughly responsible and excellent
young man to exchange photographs
with him. Young men are very apt
to Jest about the originals of these
pictures when in company with their
comrades, and to make boasts that
would be very unpleasant for the
young ladies to hear. A young lady
may give a young man a book or
some bit of of her own handiwork in
the way of embroidery or painting or
carving or the like, and the young
man might give her something of his
own handiwork; for example, a paint
ing or a carved bracket or a piece of
repousse work, with propriety.
