dences. Among the precepts laid
down by a high school boy from a

the following:
l. Do not flirt. 1t is useless and
has no definite aim. You do not nee
essarily have to be a sissy, so &c
speak. or to be stiff.
.. Be at ease in company. The idea
girl is the same girl in public as IN
the eyes of a brother or sister.
3. Don't tell all your secrets to your
girl chum.
4. DO not offend a girl friend be-
cause of jealousy.
5. Do not worry about having good
clothes. Look neat and clean in wha
YOU can afford.
g. Do not try TO be what you are
not-but be the same girl all the time
