See here. my girl. do not think it is
a disgrace to be an old maid. Why?
1t is far better to remain single all
our life than to jump into marriage
with a sort of apology for man: enc
who has bartered his manhood for evrey
thing that is vile and corrupt. Woe to
the girl who takes on marriage just to
escape being an old maid. Hasty mar
riages are an evil and menace to happi-
ness. Not to take the advice of mother
in such a case is running a big risk and
risk that girls should hesitate to take.
1t won't do any harm to wait, my girl.
even if the years roll by and you are in
danger of being minated for life.
Choose well and do not be in any hurry
to change a happy life for perhaps one
of sorrow.
