A girl who is gentle, brave and
spirited; who is unselfish^ high-
minded and intelligent; who has
sweetness and depth of character
who does not think of herself,
but works for the happiness of
others; who is merry and dainty
and wholesome, as a girl should
be, will never lack either lovers
or friends. She is the light of the
home, a good friend to her sister
and brother, and the sunshine of
the old folks. God bless her.
The first question a man asks
when he sees a girl flirting is
whether she is respectable or
not; it raises a doubt at once.
This being the case no modest
girl can afford to indulge in the
pastime. When the down is
brushed from a peach its beauty
is so marred that it can never be
restored, and when a young girl
throws lightly aside that sweet
and modest reserve so becoming
to a maiden, and which so ele-
vates her and enables her to com-
mand the respect of all, she loses
the great charm and becomes
rather cheap and common to use
no rash terms. Flirting may
seem to the giddy and thought-
less girl wonderfully amusing
and she may get the idea that
she is fascinating, but it is a most
degrading thing and she should
be frowned upon by every young
lady who has an ambition to be-
come a worthy and charming
young woman.
People who make mistakes are
those who quarrel with one ano-
ther before their children; or
who allow the latter to grow up
in idleness; those who talk about
their troubles before strangers;
the father who tells his children
to go the way he does not go him-
self, and the young woman who
does not make a confident of her
mother.
Rules Adopted By A Wise
* Girl.
As she was passing the other
afternoon, in getting something
out of her pocket, a young woman
dropped a slip of paper on the
ground. One saw it and picked
it up, intending perhaps to re-
turn it, but a glance at the clean-
cut angular hand wrting induced
him to read it through, for pub-
lication and here it is.
1. I don't let a man smoke
when he walks or drives with me.
If he knows no better than tó do
it, I promptly tell him what I
think about it.
2. I don't give my photograph
to men. 1 used to occasionally,
but I am wise now. I should
hate bye and bye to know that
my face might be hanging up in
Tom, Dick or Harry's room.
3. I don't let any man k'see me
home" from church. If he
hasn't got gumption enough to
take me there and sit through
the servipe with me, he can stay
away altogether.
4. I don't let any man give me a
present, unless it is something of
a trifling cost—like fruit or
flowers.
5. I don't encourage a man
who is not perfectly polite and
agreeable to my mother. Who-
ever calls on me sees a good deal
of her.
Likes and Dislikes
Dear Editor: Please give one
who admires your Home Circle
department a little space to a
subject not yet touched upon:
Give me a ^ood social life, and
not a society life; a genial, nat-
ural person, and not simply an
affable one; one sensible, popular
maiden, and not a belle, for no
man cares for such a wife whose
heart has been trampled on like a
navyyard.
Give me the woman who works
with a vim and never tries to
shirk her dut}^, but whose cry is:
"Can I do enough?" and not: "Oh
my! I have too much to do!"
People who dwell so much on
self are generally miserable.
Give me the woman who is wil-
ling to adapt herself to circum-
stances, and who after an exer-
tion of efforts has such an undy-
ing faith in her Savior, her
motto is, ''Though He may chas-
tise me, yet I will trust Him."
The woman who will not be mis-
erable over the past, but will
cling to the future with hope,
for hope is the blossom of happi-
ness; the woman not afraid to
superintend her domestic affairs
and then grace her parlor with
as much dignity and confidence
as if she were the wife of the
President of the United States;
the woman who would cling to
her husband through thick and
thin, remembering she took him
for better or worse.
In short, oh, for the useful,
helpful woman strictly to duty
wed who will cling to the cross,
shake of daily burdens and re-
member life is very much as we
make it, and dispense in her
pathway the balm of bit-
terness. Show me a Ruth, and
not a Delilah, an Esther and not
a Jezebel, a Dorcas and not a
Queen of Sheba, a Rebecca to fill
the troughs for the camels, a
Hannah to make a coat, the He-
brew maid to prescribe for
Naaman, the female of Sarepta
to prepare a meal for hungry
Elijah and a Lois to teach Tim-
othy the Holy Scriptures, a
Queen Victoria in preference to
Cleopatra, a Niobe to a Latona, a
"Mother of Gracchi' to the Ro-
man lad}^ with her casket of bril-
liant jewels, a mother like George
Washington's, whose small like-
ness adorned his neck for forty
years; a wife like Martin Luth-
er's, who was greater to him
than the wealth of Croesus, anda
helpmate like Thomas Hood's,
who acknowledged to her, "I
never was anything until I knew
you."—Reader.
