and He Is a Better Worker
and Deeper Student

Nv = HAT / would ike to ask. "
w writes Rebecca, SIS why it
is better for girl to asso-
ciate with a bashful boy. On sew
eraI occasion have noticed that you
state that a girl should honor such
a young man, but you have never
stated why"
The qualities in a bashful boy which
make him q welcome sutton are more
of a negative nature than of a posi-
tive. 1t is not that which he does, so
much as that which he does not do
his sins are OF omission and they
are small com pared with. the sins of
commission Of his holder brother
The. baShful boy doesn't fllrL. With
p tongue that halts and staulmers, and
q teutale color that is quicker than
the blush of a yOung girl to proclaim
his dishonesty did he attempt TO be
dishonest, he is not an adept at hypOc-
risy or cOncealmenL
He is not a dandy. Neither is he
a 'Iady's man." and, my dear Rebecca-
the presidents of banks and railroads,
the powers In commercial life, the most
profound thinkers and the men Of let
ters the world hOnors were never
ladies men"
His Hands.
He does not know what to do with
his hands when out in society, but his
employer viii tell you he knows good
use for them when at Work.
Afraid Of girls, ne is forced to seek
oompaniOuship in books and boys The
fear of girls gives him respect Tor
them which is wholesome; the cOmpan-
ionship of boys gives him the outdoor
exercise every young man needs.
He needs this firing Of every muscle,
not alone for the results that are
physical, but for moral returns. You
are not too young, my dear, TO know
that the wolf that has been racing
furiOusly up and down hill all day

limbs and aching muscles begging for
rest. He is not the wolf that goes

If a bashfuI boy loves a girl it is
with a sense Of humility and his own
unWOrthiness- He Knows that he Is
the one who viii be hOnored If his
love isFreturned, his holder brother has
Of silly girls confirms, that it is the
girl who should be on her knees
A safe Way.
During his calf days he does all his
signing for loves sake at distance,
which mothers viii agree Is the only
safe and sane way for young girls
TO be loved
He is always a good Iistener-nO
woman was ever bored to death by
the talking of a bashful man
Saying little, he says little for which
he or others have cause for regret
He is safe depository for secrets,
good man in whom to have conf
dence. If he is not a girls lover the
next best thing that could happen to
her would be to have him for a brother
or a friend.
His compliments are not praCtsed,
and are therefore sincere. When it
takes effort and stupendous courage
to hand modest little flower TO a
girl, it follows that he will never
throw bouquets at the head OF every
woman he meets.
Best of all, RebeCca, the bashful boy
is a home boy. He is Unafraid when
with his mother and finds in her COM
partnership the delight less bashful
boys seek from home.
He is -"a good boy" in the sweet
old fashioned sense, a ibOy who has
escaped contamination a few years
later than 1t comes to boys more bold.
