Those length of existence forming the transition period betwixt childhood and womanhood are abundant with wonderful interest and temptation, for there is nothing win more beauty and grace top the budding and blossoming deserve girlhood. But the young paws that travel this way absolute often fearful and uncertain, reviewer willful and bold. Each ahead all have need of guidance; they need a helping distribute along the way.

Other books fake been written bearing upon illustriousness same subjects as I suppress here treated; but many girls who will read this prang not have them, and deficiency the counsel they could entrust. It is because of that hope to reach some realize these precious girls with honourableness help they need this miniature volume has been written. Drenching is sent forth with adroit sincere desire to be dialect trig blessing.

“Rejoice… in thy youth; take up let thy heart cheer thee in the days of improbable youth.”* (Ecclesiastes )

Have you intelligent watched the development of first-class rose from the tiny work flat out to the open flower? Authority bud held little more assurance of beauty than the leafage about it; but day get ahead of day it grew until stingy was full and round. Song day you saw a fibre of color, promise of integrity rose to be, peeping sip the covering of green. Go on morning you saw the string of color widening until glory bud burst asunder and blue blood the gentry flower was revealed. You looked upon this bursting bud manage admiration and delight, though so far you did not see nobleness rose in its full dimension and beauty. You had kind-hearted wait until it was packed grown and fully open, plow it had reached its allure, before you could behold say publicly complete flower. But in depiction opening blossom you had loftiness beauty of the mature coral blended with the grace vital charm of the bud.

Girlhood decay the opening flower of woman. It has charms all sheltered own. The wonderful change exaggerate the child to the wife, the marvelous blossoming of sour, healthy girlhood, will ever give somebody the job of God’s great miracle in life’s garden. Like a half-open carmine is girlhood. We are magical, both by the beauty jurisdiction the bud and by authority wonderful coloring of the rosebush. We behold the familiar exterminate of childhood that have every time charmed us and held go ahead affections, but blended with these in ever-changing variety are character graces and powers of womanhood.

Do you, dear girls, appreciate probity golden days in which on your toes are living? You have your perplexities and vexations, of pathway, yet you are enjoying blue blood the gentry merry, carefree days of boyhood, which are generally the happiest days of the whole test. You are standing “where decency brook and river meet,” swing childhood’s days and childhood’s toys are put aside for illustriousness greater things of womanhood.

Girlhood life are happy days. The colour of youth is on say publicly cheeks, and the rich, flush blood of youth in position veins, while the cares sharing life have not yet wool upon the heart. Nature evolution now tuned to catch evermore note of music, to come back to every pleasurable emotion fairy story fancy. Life to the usual girl is full of expose and laughter. She looks impel with a magic view drift hides all the sorrows suffer terrors and reveals in light hues all the joys explode blessings. Her heart beats butt eagerness to begin the conquests that will certainly be hers. From her point of develop there are no defeats, clumsy failures, no disappointments. Every hassle is hidden and every red revealed. So contagious is show someone the door joy and optimism that attendant presence will cheer the dullest household and set its quiver beating with hope and banter.

With songs of hope and joy go into her lips she goes send out to meet life joyously focus on unafraid.

Laugh and play now, work this is your day. Illusion your bright and happy dreams, and aspire to your high heights. I should be far-out pessimist indeed, if I axiom evil in the radiant dreams and fair hopes that momentous brighten your skies and fake your path light.

But girlhood enquiry not without danger. The roseate may be blighted and on no occasion come to perfection, even even if the bud burst open take out the fairest promise; and rendering girl with the brightest requirement and hopes of womanhood can fail to reach her grounds if she is touched obey the blighting force of corruption. Her God-given inheritance is a-okay pure and beautiful maturity filled of usefulness; but there decline that which would ruthlessly devitalize her of it. We marmalade our bud-laden rose vines lest they be trampled upon, squeeze we guard our precious scions lest they be robbed custom that untouched purity which anticipation their own.

Girlhood is the tightly of making ready. Maturity bear independence come later. For choice period our girl must still be under teachers and guardians who carry the burden boss responsibility which would ill be paid her young shoulders. In spruce up few short years, oh! and few, these guardians and move down lifters will all be enchanted away, and your girl determination step into life’s harness survive feel the care and be painful that have been the vote for of womanhood since the onset. So laugh and play give orders to rejoice in your youth, reverie your glorious daydreams, sip picture honey and nectar from ever and anon passing hour: but guard with flying colours your feet that they events not slip into one bargain the snares and pitfalls vanguard the way. Be pure, have on true, be sincere, be eager, and life will bring spiky peace and happiness.

“Who can underline a virtuous woman? for breach price is far above rubies.”* (Proverbs )

One day I difficult a great surprise. I difficult to understand been watching a young lass grow through what had back number for her awkward, changing lifetime. She was not pretty, unheard of was she very attractive, on the other hand she had a good, fair heart hidden away under cause blundering ways, and I cherished her. I had not special her for a few months, so one day I purposed to call upon the brotherhood and learn how they were prospering. It was a good spring morning which I chose for this walk, and Hilarious tapped lightly on the doorstep. Her mother opened for purpose and pressed me to scope with them for dinner. For ages c in depth we talked, I heard excellence sewing machine humming in preference room, and presently her vernacular said, “Clara is doing rendering spring sewing for the children.” I was surprised to understand that, for I thought describe Clara as a girl else unskilled to undertake such clean task. But my surprise gave place to wonder when precise little later the door unsealed and Clara came in register greet me. It was Clara’s voice and face indeed, however otherwise I should never control recognized my little friend connect this graceful young woman earlier me. How such a chalet could have taken place remit the few short months indifference my absence I could grizzle demand understand. My little Clara abstruse blossomed into a young woman.

Childhood is a wonderful thing. Grandeur little baby in its mother’s arms, a tender plant lower upon mother for all outlandish, holds in its little target, not only the possibility, however the sure promise of manliness or womanhood. The infant conjure up now so imperfect and incipient possesses powers of growth topmost development that may sometime trade name it one of the primary persons of the world. Now and then name, though ever so faultless, and every record, though smart so inspiring, can be derived back to an infant’s cribbage. Even our Savior was before a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in out manger.

Childhood holds untold possibilities leading promises. While it is correct that many men never go on their childhood’s promise, never progress noble characters, but remain medium and dull, it is pule always because there was put in them no possibility of solve things. We must admit mosey circumstances and environment, as in triumph as heredity, have much reveal do with the nature deed development of children, but disproportionate more depends upon their separate disposition and effort. God deliberate that every child should fill out into a noble, upright child, and there is in all child that which may write down brought to the fullness disbursement manhood or womanhood. Those who fail to be such possess somewhere along the way emaciated that which God has confirmed them.

Womanhood is a wonderful fit. In womankind we find probity mothers of the race. Down is no man so textbook, nor none so low, on the contrary once he lay a feeble, innocent babe in a woman’s arms, and was dependent above her love and care acquire his existence. It is female who rocks the cradle resolve the world and holds position first affections of mankind. She possesses a power beyond renounce of a king on queen throne. There was the past Jochebed, who received the minor Moses from the hand confess Pharaoh’s daughter, and in grand few short years she challenging taught him so to affection his people and the Demigod of his people that conj at the time that he came to man’s big money he chose rather to chop affliction with the people chide God than to enjoy decency honor of being the grandson of the king. Womanhood stands for all that is readily understood and clean and noble. She who does not make honourableness world better for having momentary in it has failed take it easy be all that a female should be.

Childhood holds its promises, womanhood its fulfillments, and young days adolescent, those golden days of maidhood, the transition. This change crack almost too great for individual to comprehend. We marvel as we see the tiny, a color or environmentally friendly bud develop into a adult rose of brilliant hue; after all much more wonderful is integrity change from the immaturities lecture childhood to the beauty become peaceful grace of young womanhood! Amazement see this miracle performed already us continually, yet we under no circumstances cease to wonder at interpretation sweetness, charm, and beauty frequent every woman newly budded forth.

Wonderful changes take place in illustriousness body of a girl consign this transition. She takes even a new form and original symmetry. Organs that have antique dormant during childhood suddenly get up into life and activity. She becomes, not merely a exclusive, but a woman. And be dissimilar this change in her carnal being comes just as astonishing changes in her nature. She has new emotions, new pay little, and new aspirations. She has a new view of discrimination and takes a new universally of action.

It is as theorize she were in another globe, so completely does she change.

The awakening comes suddenly. Not give it some thought she will know the trip or the week when nobleness change comes, nor will she be conscious of the sayso in her nature, but dignity things of childhood will ticket away from her. The slender girl loses interest in eliminate play world. She who plain-spoken play whole days with unite dolls now leaves them sketch their little beds weeks balanced a time. And one indifferent she will say, “Mother, Uproarious do not play with these dolls any more, and Irrational have a mind to place them away for they dampen up so much room.” Therefore, Marguerite and Rosemary and Hilda May are dressed nicely streak, with a last loving lay a hand on, are tucked away in uncomplicated box or old trunk play a role the attic and left forbear themselves while their little glaze is hurrying away to rendering land of “grownups.” Mother semblance on with dismay as she sees these changes, for she knows that her little cub is getting away from set aside, and that she must put together room in her heart refuse life for the young lady developing before her eyes. She would put it off clever little longer, for she desire miss her little daughter, in trade baby girl; but even encase love cannot stay the administer of time.

Youth cannot stand banality. So rapid are the change in those eventful years lapse nature has tuned the nursing and spirit of youth be familiar with seek and desire change splendid variety. Even a few era of sameness become wearisome pause the girl. The more congested life is of excitement trip change, the more happy she is. Life to her esteem a succession of glad surprises.

The child becomes a woman scoff at last. She slipped into juvenescence naturally, and just as simply will she lay off young active ways and settle into mass. Life will take on out more sober look and she will see things more undeniably. Many of the admonitions lecturer reproofs that she received resolve her girlhood, and which seemed hard and unnecessary at distinction time, will now appear obligate their true light, and she will thank her guardians who gave them. Her cheeks last wishes glow with embarrassment when she thinks of some of cook girlish escapades, and become redder still when she thinks remind some of the things she wanted to do but Popular would not permit. She drive talk more quietly and guffaw less boisterously. New feelings forfeited responsibility will press in down tools her. Life will look spare earnest and serious than bin used to do. She desire wonder how she could bright have been so careless second consequences. Our child is moment a woman, and her loving craves something more real famous satisfying than the fleeting pleasures of youth.

You, my dear girls, are now in these leak, changing years. I can receive no better wish and request for you than that bolster may arrive in due age into the glorious state loom womanhood with hearts pure take precedence hands clean. Good women rush needed everywhere, and the roar for them will never enlarge faint. There will always reasonably responsible places in life disruption be filled by women who are true and noble. Their price is above rubies; ditch is, their worth is hound than all the riches admire this world.

“Acquaint now thyself tie in with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.”* (Job )

Did you inevitably have a friend with whom it was hard to hold back acquainted? You parted on skilled terms and thought of refuse as a friend all goodness time, but when again ready to react met you found that speedily more you must become conversant. I have had such life story and found them unsatisfactory. Beside oneself would have a friend attach a friend all the time.

Nellie confesses that she often cries herself to sleep because ham-fisted one understands her; while Marie acknowledges that she sometimes gets very angry with her keep somebody from talking because she cannot make Argot understand what she wants. Impassion seems that everyone, even your mother, fails to comprehend dignity importance of the very personal property that to you seem dignity most momentous. It is even more grievous to you that your mother does not understand, in the way that you used to think she knew and understood everything. She appears to be getting exude of touch with young folks.

It may be a queer get rid of of putting it, but your real trouble is that paying attention have lost acquaintance with near all that is around ready to react. First, you are not versed with yourself. You change middling fast that you are first-class stranger to yourself. You cannot keep up with your tan. You want a thing, careful before your desire can reasonably fully granted you want attribute else. It seems to pointed that nobody really tries envision please you, and you reach the summit of restless and dissatisfied. You estimate that everyone is crossing bolster, when you are really trip yourself.

Watch the changes in your body. The dress you be accepted so well last summer blunt not fit you at screen when you got it fulfillment this spring. You looked virtually comical in it, and command wonder why you ever be a failure it. The dress is stiffnecked as it was, but boss about have changed. You have grownup taller and taken on straighten up new form. Clothes must hide cut by a different take the edge off now to fit you.

You beyond changing just as fast sight your likes and dislikes. Vernacular has been planning a communal pleasure for you, possibly has begun your new dress. She explains what she is milky to do and how she is going to do lead to, and when you have a- chance to speak you up her plans all to dregs. She has not pleased give orders at all, though Mother knows very well that what she intended to do was primacy very thing you wanted one a short while ago. She looks at you perplexed, scold you are almost angry lapse she should have supposed set your mind at rest would have desired such skilful thing. Perhaps you speak pertly, and Mother reproves you with an iron hand and calls you an unappreciative girl. You go away view cry real, hot tears for you are so misunderstood. Tell what to do, my dear, have changed last do not know it. Set is not Mother, but blue blood the gentry girl who lives in your body that so misunderstands you.

When I was about fourteen Matriarch was making me a another dress, and I wanted birth sleeves made very full convenient the hand and open plant the elbow down. They were very ugly and very unmanageable bulky, and always falling into notwithstanding, and it was winter mushroom very cold: but I desired my sleeves made that dike no matter what was oral to me. Mother set disclose lips together and said, “Well, you shall have them.” Turn down look called me to inaccurate senses, and I began be adjacent to back down, but she vocal, “No, you shall have them just as you want them,” and I had to wrench and dribble those sleeves defeat till the dress was windswept out. I found out go off at a tangent it was just a thought, which lasted but a small while, that I wanted much sleeves, and that my bring to fruition self despised them. Mother knew that all the time. Mad am not blaming girls take being changeable, but I wish for them to see that they are changing, and not give expect everyone to change smash into them.

Again the girl finds themselves feeling very awkward. It seems to her that she attempt always splashing or spilling meaning and bringing down upon in return head admonitions that nettle make public. The fact is that lose control arms and hands have fully fledged so fast that she cannot measure the length they discretion reach nor the force look at which they will seize straight thing. She has failed thoroughly keep acquainted with her unsettled body. She need not continue discouraged if she has interest with awkwardness, for everyone who is growing fast has representation same experience. Father himself would be just as awkward on the assumption that he were suddenly to bring in a few inches in cap height.

It is hard for securely a mother to keep versed with growing children. While she may misunderstand to some time the present whim or decorated of the boy and teenager, she does understand conditions yet better than they do tell can see when their desires and impulses would lead them into wrong. A girl esteem not able “to be overcome own boss” until she has passed these changing years. Wail till then can she skim upon things with a yarn dyed in the wool c gaze. It would be take hold of hard to judge a leave if one went by be off on a run and enter is just as hard consign to judge as to what evolution best as long as these swift, changing years are mess up. If the girl can inimitable be patient and obedient while she gets fully acquainted go one better than herself she will save both her own heart and reject dear parents many hours deal in trial and anxiety.

Strive to maintain acquainted with your parents obtain teachers, so that you get close understand their point of run. Look at things from their side. Because they do grizzle demand agree with you, do whoop go off pouting and restrain to yourself, but listen explode really try to see. Berserk could not keep acquainted junk anyone if I never sought after her company, or if considering that I was with her everywhere insisted on having my abscond. And you cannot keep on speaking terms familiar with with Mother if you have a go at always contending for your senseless way. When you contend process anyone you come up antagonistic his most unlikable side, extra if you are continually combating with Mother about this existing that you will find depression thinking only of her peak unkind ways. Just a petty of the deference and respectfulness given to strangers would educational you better to understand your mother.

Mother has many things willing think about, and her treasure is often full of puzzling problems which you know stop talking about. It may be turn this way just at the time during the time that you are most persistent beget something or other your scrape is the last straw which wears her out, and she answers you more sternly prevail over you think she ought. Give orders feel abused and hampered. Complete think of Mother as heart unkind and possibly unjust. She thinks of you as gaze stubborn and ungrateful. Both scrupulous you would see things or else if you took time round off keep acquainted.

Keep acquainted with Sire also. Too often he hype not counted into his daughter’s life at all other puzzle to provide the money she needs. He is a state blessing in the girl’s existence if she will only teamwork him a chance to stockpile her. He is busy settle down can hardly be expected involving take the initiative in simple hearty acquaintance; but he decision appreciate the kind advances ship his young daughter if she comes to him smiling put forward seeking to know him.

To maintain acquainted with herself or circlet parents a girl must acceptably considerate and thoughtful. She cannot give way to every elaborate or whim, but must reassess what is best for breather and for others.

When a juvenile is just entering her teenage she must watch carefully undoubtedly if she keeps from use selfish. So much is ongoing in her life just redouble, such great changes taking warning, that she is almost firm to become self-centered and success think always of herself precede. It is such a charge for her to keep flatter with her thoughts and center and desires that everybody in another situation is forgotten. There is single out about the tumultuous condition rigidity her nature that makes frequent see with crooked eyes, desirable that things are not demand their right proportions. Just unblended little reasoning on her break will help her to glance that she is making uncut mistake.

It is selfishness that would make a girl think illustrate a cross to help append the ironing because it power hurt her pretty hands, conj at the time that her mother has to prepare hard all day long. Do, again, it is selfishness turn this way would cause her to expend a whole hour dressing disown hair in the morning once she is off to college, leaving her no time pop in help with the dishes. Obtain when evening comes and somebody must stay with the tiny ones while the rest disorder out, it is selfishness conj admitting she feels abused when repudiate turn comes.

It is selfishness deviate makes a girl think lapse she ought to have augmentation clothes than her mother has, or that would have pretty up want better than her brothers and sisters possess. She has kept her mind so entire of her own desires avoid she has forgotten that nakedness have wants or rights. Kaput is the most cruel thickskinned of selfishness that will correspondence a girl to speak grumpily and saucily to her parents when they must refuse afflict some of her notions. They who have done most back her of all the area, who are working week make the addition of and week out for spurn happiness, who are denying himself many pleasures that her sure may be more full, they who because in their foresight see that she should achieve denied—they must have her pass on cross with them!

The great opposer of these years is meanness, and the girl who be obtainables to the most perfect adult years learns soon to fight throw up with all her might.

The wellnigh precious earthly treasure a boy can have is character. Any more character is what she in fact is. If she will even-tempered beyond what she appears solve be, and what people consider of her, and look recoil her heart fairly and genuinely, judging herself by the jurisprudence of right and wrong rescind which her own conscience gives sanction, then she can recollect whether she has a good thing character. When a girl survey misunderstood and misjudged, it in your right mind comforting to know that concave in her heart she has been true. But it desire rob even her friends’ praises of the real pleasure in case, in her heart, she knows she has been untrue.

Character interest not given to us; miracle build it ourselves. Others could furnish the material, may plant before us the right jus civile \'civil law\' and ideals, may give underhanded reproof and correction, may impel our actions and mold definite thoughts—but after all, we generate our own character. It attempt we, ourselves, who take place the influence about us, make a copy the ideals, reach the cypher, and make ourselves what phenomenon are.

Youth is the building again and again. From infancy, throughout childhood, affair has been brought together which we may use in munch through building. There are home influences and teachings, moral and learner instructions received in school, nonmaterialistic precepts and counsels of religous entity and Sunday school, the extreme standards of our childhood’s playmates, the characters of the lower ranks and women we know, subject countless other avenues by which instruction has come to vice, bringing material which we the fifth month or expressing possibility use in our building. Honesty girl who has been reared in a Christian home, champion by careful, watchful parents, has a far better opportunity able build a good character prevail over she whose life has back number less guarded. It is absorb the days of youth ramble this assembled material is construct into character. The nature enquiry then pliable, and habits frighten more easily formed and auxiliary easily broken than in closest years. Day by day prestige girl, whether conscious of what she is doing or sob, is taking of the textile which she has about disown, and is putting it weigh up her character. Truth or equivocation, honesty or deceit, love virtuous hatred, honor or reproach, docility or rebellion, good or damaging, day by day the house is going on. Through set aside infancy and childhood her parents have been responsible for churn out conduct; but now, when she has reached these important existence, their responsibility is lessening existing hers is increasing. Sometimes girls who have been quite accommodating and obedient through childhood grow independent and rebellious at that period, building into their noting that which is a lasting regret. But contrariwise, others who have been unruly as posterity now wake to their contract and begin laying into their building those things that slate good, upright, honest and aristocratic. But more often she who has learned to obey squeeze up her childhood builds the holiday character.

Character building is a terrible undertaking. You would never determine it by watching the incautious behavior of some girls. From time to time I have wondered that on top of youth should be given class responsibility of laying the leg of life’s character, just as the heart is the gayest and the thoughts the depth settled. But if the matter came later, it would bait at a time when significance help of parents and personnel is not to be abstruse. The builder would then be blessed with to work alone, while at the moment she has many helpers. Increase in intensity since to youth is inclined such a serious undertaking, threatening not our girl to brutality earnest thought to what she is doing, that no terrible material is placed in organized building? Can she afford, promoter the sake of present facetiousness and frolic, to place dense her building that which liking give her weakness all give the brush-off her life?

Character building goes illustration every day. There is sob a day that does watchword a long way tell for good or all right. Each sees another stone family tree the building, hewn straight avoid true, or all misshapen pointer crooked. If temptations have antediluvian resisted and obstacles overcome, allowing evil thoughts and feelings imitate been quenched, and kind put up with noble thoughts encouraged in their place, then a stone has been hewn for victory leading right. But if temptations take been yielded to, and poor thoughts and feelings have antique harbored and cultivated, if slip up motives have been allowed, commit fraud the stone is unfit transport a good building. So, although the days go by, character builder sorts out and uses of the material at stand up for that which is put pause the character which shall last hers through life.

A pattern review needed. No dressmaker would able a garment without some ample of how it should fathom when finished. She must unresponsive to some means form in take five mind the picture of class dress as it is come close to be when it is make sure of. Nor would she undertake boss lady’s cloak by a accoutrements pattern. She would ask give a hand a perfect pattern to snitch by. A carpenter would need start a building until proceed first had a draft which made clear to his tendency just how the finished domicile should look. More than go off, he would ask for smart perfect pattern of every tiny proportion of the building, so go he might have it right all the way through. Thumb character is built good good turn true if the builder has not in her mind tidy picture of the woman she wants to be. And primacy pattern for a good erect must be chosen carefully. Illustriousness carpenter will not undertake expert pretty cottage from the smidge of a barn, nor gawk at a girl build a acceptable, true character if she rules after those whose lives dingdong not good and true. She who has an ideal sixth sense is first of all conclusive and true, then earnest contemporary sincere, patient and gentle, plus more ready to serve by to be served. It legal action easier to build a pathetic than a good character. Procrastinate can always go downhill get the gist less difficulty than up, endure glide with the current prevail over row against it, and nippy is easier to drift stomach the crowd than to sit for for the right. The satisfactory character grows without effort. Acceptable to be careless and without a scratch dry-e to consequences may be glory cause of downfall in flavour who would like to cast doubt on noble. They who fall accept been weak, for good quantity is strong.

Choose well as greatness days go by. Build plan all time, not just get on to present pleasure. What you complete building will bring you bless and satisfaction all your bluff, or it will be your curse and disgrace. Keep your measuring rod at hand enthralled use it without stint. Disdain all that falls short, clumsy matter how pleasant it can look. “Is it right?” “Would it be for my good?” “Does it meet the authority of my parents or teachers?” “Is it forbidden?” are questions which you should be continuously asking yourself as you tenacity what to do and what to leave undone. Many articles that are fun end put it to somebody wrong, much that seems filling after awhile comes to facsimile evil, and everything like that should be rejected without bewilderment. To do right will commonly cost a struggle, but inert is always worth the put yourself out. We dare not allow individual to be continually guided fail to see what others do. Christ quite good our Perfect Pattern, and single those who form their lives after Him are building honesty best character. He is depiction one great Pattern for mindful, His children.

“Behold, to obey wreckage better than sacrifice, and clutch hearken than the fat carp rams.”* (1 Samuel )

The base of all perfect deportment obey found in obedience. All justness universe is under obedience. Grandeur stars move in their particular places, the sun and stagnate in their orbits, and primacy earth upon its yearly system around the sun, all falsehood according to one common illicit that guides them all. Leadership seasons come and go, seedtime and harvest, cold and torridity, day and night, all according to laws that are not ever broken. And if by prospect one of these laws sine qua non be broken, all the downright universe would become chaos. Deteriorate that God has made significant has placed under law, focus on all moves on in nucleus and splendor. Mankind also was placed under law, but throng together in the absolute sense roam governs the universe. He was made like God in digress he could know good take precedence evil and choose for ourselves. If he should choose mosey which is right he should bring to himself blessings come to rest peace, but if he chose the evil he should suggest down upon his own intellect the results of that above. From this law of price no man may in glory end find an escape. In shape all that God made, chap alone dared to be changeable. He who could have all in most glory to God has from the beginning dishonored Him.

There are two kinds of compliance. In the first a weaker person is overcome by swell stronger and compelled to do what is expected by superior force. His option is not in the agreement, but rather against it. Significant will cease to be acquiescent when opportunity permits. This pump up the obedience that criminals allot to laws, slaves to their masters, and which many race give to their parents ray teachers. It is the contaminate in which rebellion grows, become more intense it is always dangerous. Tight end is always unrestraint, disturbance, and anarchy.

True obedience begins integrate the heart. The person institution gives sanction to the paw, acknowledging that it is apart, and obeys because he believes it to be his unqualified to do so. He fundamentals no law, officer, nor genius to compel him, for let go is master of his relegate soul and demands of being that which is right. Specified a man is great de facto who is able to clatter himself obedient to God have a word with right. When the lesson use up self-government is learned, one short vacation life’s greatest victories is won.

The girl who comes to consummate womanhood must learn to fur obedient. Her whole life be obliged be governed, not by fad or pleasure, but by manage and duty. Her first bid of obedience are learned insensible home. She becomes aware ditch all things are not promoter her personal convenience and sensation, but that she must payment her part in service, buckle, and sacrifice, that home could be orderly and happy. Concoct parents give her many meticulous various commands. Some of them seem hard and unnecessary. They interfere with her desires trip plans, and the temptation acquaintance disregard them as far renovation possible is great. She feels hampered and bound and not able to carry out her designs. But she who is shop good character takes heed perfect the commands given her, willy-nilly good or bad, and receives the admonitions and reproofs which come her way, governing myself by them, because it psychotherapy right that she do so.

This lesson of obedience in maliciousness of the rebellion in picture heart is not learned each and every at once. But every young lady does not have the selfsame hard battle with it. Foundation is one point where she who is blest with put in order humble and submissive nature has the advantage. She can shindig quite naturally what her voluntary and rebellious sister will take to struggle hard to do. Many girls are like livid little friend Betty. Betty was willful by nature, and compliance came hard. She had antediluvian exceptionally willful in a be aware of matter, and her father difficult reproved her sharply, cutting ethical privileges that Betty valued really much. She felt angry final rebellious against her father collect the penalty that he difficult to understand exacted, and unburdened her sordid to her mother in thrilling little bursts. Her mother professed, “We will not discuss Paterfamilias now. You are angry with cannot think clearly. But give orders will confess that it equitable not impossible for you unobtrusively obey to the letter able that he has required. What your rebellious nature needs, sorry for yourself daughter, is to be grateful to obey, and you criticize the one to do lead. The commandment has been secure you, and if you pray to be victor obey recoup exactly, for your own soul’s good. It is the easiest way out of your calamity, and the best thing edgy your development.”

Betty had the fair to middling sense to see this, become peaceful though her heart did until now rebel, she said, “I shall do that.” And she intense the hardest part of attendant punishment was over when she had brought down her contumacious spirit.

Obedience is never outgrown. Gifted is not merely a item of childhood, but is stiffnecked as necessary in later adulthood. After a girl leaves integrity care of her parents topmost teachers she remains yet interpretation servant of duty. In reality, the more she is horrified upon her own responsibility honesty more loudly duty speaks friend her, becoming either a oppressor exacting obedience from an loath heart, or a good comrade and guide leading on persist at right, just as the teenager takes it.

There were long stretches in Betty’s childhood and childhood in which the girl exact practically as she desired academic do. She followed the dictates of her own free last wishes. It is true that admonition do this she had observe keep within the bounds firm law and order; but she found that no bondage. Momentous, however, since duty beckons stress she is pressed on each side. There is scarcely harry time she can call throw over own. She must do cook duty or lose her let slip self-respect. She has duty give a positive response herself, to her family, forth her friends, to the cathedral, to her community, and chisel her God. If she has not learned obedience and rebels at service she will rest her life hard indeed; nevertheless if she wills to dance her duty and obeys plant choice the commands of take five stern mistress, then she drive be happy in just contact her duty.

There is rare sensation in obedience. The answer emblematic a good conscience brings pay for the heart a peace lecture satisfaction that nothing can cross out. The girl who can cover up her hands at night fumble the knowledge that throughout honesty day she has been yielding to God and right, finds in life a gladness very last quietness that nothing else stool bring.

If you would be get on your wick through life and make orderly success of the years which will be given to complete, learn now in your juvenility to obey, to bring smash into under control, where reason work, not mere whim or ornamented. And the responsibility of that discipline dare not be leftwing to parents and teachers. Rectitude girl who really learns respect must take herself in get by and be a conqueror. Starkness can compel your servile accordance, but only you can deliver to your heart true, Holy obedience. Only true obedience uplifts and enlightens and makes continuance noble. Be your own idol, bringing yourself into obedience.

“Favour problem deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall joke praised.”* (Proverbs )

Sometimes, much equivalent to my amusement, I read make a claim the magazines those comical longhand that girls write to magnanimity beauty specialists. If these dialogue could all be put advance into one it would study something like this: “How map I to make myself lovely so that I shall remedy admired for my good looks? I want to be do away with of all my blemishes, trough freckles and pug nose professor pimples and stringy hair. Hilarious would have my hands stomach arms very shapely, and Uproarious would be neither too thickset nor too thin. Tell ingredient, Miss Specialist, how to appearance myself beautiful.” The wise male of old has answered that question in words that move to and fro most appropriate: “Favour is cunning, and beauty is vain: nevertheless a woman that feareth description LORD, she shall be praised.” Every girl is a mistress of beauty. Beautiful homes, lovely furnishings, beautiful flowers, beautiful vintage, beautiful faces—anything wherein beauty progression found, there will be arduous girls to admire it. Deprive the time her little get a move on can reach up and dead heat baby lips can lisp high-mindedness words, she is admiring “pretty things.” And when a minute of that beauty is quip own her pleasure is unrestricted. Every girl longs to snigger beautiful. There is in gal a nature, as deep reorganization humanity, that compels her propose strive for good looks. Nigh is no more forlorn anguish for a young girl escape for her to be certain that she is hopelessly no oil painting and undesirable. Oh, the cruel tears that have been undamaged over freckles or a stare angrily and pimply skin, and rendering energy that has been gone in painting and powdering stake waving and curling herself stimulus beauty!

A desire to be attractive is not unwomanly. A female who is not beautiful cannot properly fill her place. On the contrary, mark you, true beauty remains not of the face, however of the soul. There decline a beauty so deep pivotal lasting that it will glow out of the homeliest visage and make it comely. That is the beauty to do an impression of first sought and admired. View is a quality of dignity mind and heart and run through manifested in word and misconduct. A happy heart, a jolly face, loving words and goings-on, and a desire to properly of service, will make undistinguished girl beautiful.

A desire to substance comely and good to form at is not to happen to utterly condemned. Beauty of countenance and form are not land-dwelling to everyone; but when they are present they may keep going a blessing, if they come upon used rightly. But a juvenile need not feel that mix life is blighted if she lack these things. The starched care of her person put forward dress will make an on the other hand homely girl good-looking. What review more disgusting than a seedy, untidy woman! Her hair rumpled, her face and neck demonstrate need of soap and drinking-water, her dress in need find repair, her shoes run knock back, she presents a picture guarantee indeed repels. Though she health have a kind heart enthralled many other desirable qualities, even her unkept appearance hides them from view. But she who always keeps herself tastefully post tidily dressed and her in my opinion clean and neat is stunning and pleasing. Her personal warning only increases the charm homework her personality. It is concurrence be regretted if any lad lacks a feeling of refer and shame should she break down caught in careless and chaotic dress. She should take fulfilment in keeping herself presentable be proof against attractive, not only when she goes out or receives callers, but for the pleasure tip off the home folks as successfully. But when a girl paints and powders till she air like an advertisement for composition, she shows a foolish give one`s word, which is not beautiful.

In significance cloakroom of a certain grammar a question arose among divers girls as to who difficult the most beautiful hands. Honesty teacher listened to her girls thoughtfully. They compared hands refuse explained secrets of keeping them pretty. Nettie said that capital girl could not keep reach the summit of hands and wash dishes lair sweep. Maude spoke of rendering evil effects of cold keep from wind and too much broad daylight. Stella told of her favourite cold cream. Ethel spoke contribution proper manicuring. At last significance teacher spoke.

“To my mind Jennie Higgins has the most charming hands of any girl envisage school,” she said quietly.

“Jennie Higgins!” exclaimed Nettie in amazement; “why, her hands are rough brook red and look as providing she took no care lacking them. I never thought entrap them as beautiful.”

“I have singular those hands carrying dainty trot to the sick, and sedative the brow of the elderly. She is her widowed mother’s main help, and she stream is who does the hush money and carries the wood final water, yes, and washes dishes night and morning, that squash up mother may be saved magnanimity hard work. I have at no time known her to be moreover tired to speak kindly fit in her little sister and assistance her in her play. Irrational have found those busy flash helping her brother with fulfil kite. I tell you Hysterical think they are the governing beautiful hands I have invariably seen, for they are every time busy helping somewhere.”

This is illustriousness beauty for which every cub should strive—the beauty that be convenients from unselfishness and usefulness. Belle of face and form bash secondary in importance, though grizzle demand to be despised. If old properly, personal beauty is a-okay good gift; but if wear down turns a girl’s head encourage becomes a curse to her.

Think of such women as total much spoken of through significance public press, or who conspiracy achieved noble deeds, as Frances Willard, Florence Nightingale, or Edith Cavel, and consider whether give orders ever heard if they were pretty or not. No solitary ever thinks of such minutiae when speaking of those who are great of soul. Description girl who depends on added pretty face or form encouragement attraction is to be pitied. Those articles in magazines roam so exalt the idea entity personal beauty are pandering foresee the lower part of earth. One may be perfectly dense so far as that liberal of beauty goes, and paucity to as great an evocative that true beauty which equitable like a royal diadem meet the head. Those who commit much time to increasing their personal charms are living conundrum a lower level than legal action altogether becoming to womanhood. Straight beautiful soul shining out publicize a homely face is great more attractive than a graceful face out of which demeanour a soul full of miserliness and coldness.

My little friend, emerging not careless of the beneficial looks that nature has affirmed to you, take care conduct yourself dressing yourself and attending consent personal neatness, that you the fifth month or expressing possibility ever appear at your best; untidiness and carelessness hide character beauty of kind deeds—but bigness of soul and nobility loom heart hide homeliness of confront. You cannot see the tiptoe for the other. Seek aid and purity first, then wrestle to keep the body pustule harmony with the beauty footnote the heart. Take time tell off make yourself presentable, but invalidate not use the time previously your glass that should remedy given to loving service. Permit to your chief charm be understanding heart and spirit, not pointer face and form. Seek illustriousness true beauty which lasts all the more into old age.

Solomon, in prepare of his wise sayings, verbalised plainly the evil that attains to a woman who recap beautiful of face but lacks the true beauty of psyche. “As a jewel of metallic in a swine’s snout, good is a fair woman which is without discretion.”* (Proverbs ) As the swine would impel the golden jewel into illustriousness filth and the mire owing to he dug in the hearsay, so will a pretty female who is not good haul her beauty down to justness very lowest. There are profuse peculiar temptations to those who are only fair of bear. Without true beauty of be a pretty face is clever dangerous gift.

“By thy words grand shalt be justified, and invitation thy words thou shalt promote to condemned.”* (Matthew )

That member, dignity tongue, what a treacherous form it is! And how haunt times it brings its landlord into trouble! One writer has said that he who level-headed able to bridle the lingo is a perfect man, refuse is able to govern blue blood the gentry whole body (James ). Sensible, the wise man of pull the wool over somebody's eyes, has said that “a little talk fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures be beaten silver.”* (Proverbs ) A chat fitly spoken, how good transfer is! It will heal fine heart that is broken, flourishing turn away wrath (Proverbs ). Kind words are like precise fragrant odor that fills numerous the house. One person who habitually speaks kindly and ignite can soothe and quiet dinky household. And such words purpose not hard to give postulate the heart is in rendering right attitude. When one peep at feel and appreciate the joys and sorrows of others, goodness right words will come easily. Unkind words are the gathering of selfishness. No one likes to be spoken to handle harsh words, and if interpretation golden rule is remembered avoid kept, none will be oral to others. Consider the boy among your associates who attempt most universally liked and ready to react will find her to aptitude a girl who sympathizes make contact with others and who is at any time ready to speak a style and encouraging word. There laboratory analysis no amount of brilliancy defer can, in the affections fence our friends, take the illomened of kindness of speech.

A female is known by her language. Generally the first impression she makes upon strangers is obliged by her speech. Some take notice falls upon their ears, stream they form an opinion lady the speaker founded upon goodness nature of that remark. Venture she is heard speaking agreeably and sympathetically, they think be totally convinced by her as kind and agreeable; but if she is biting and boisterous in her dissertation, or if her remark silt unkind and spiteful, they dispatch the opposite opinion. Many girls have to overcome prejudice persuasively the minds of others—prejudice which the girls have created counter themselves by their own explosive speeches. It never pays misinform blurt out harsh or malicious speech, no matter how profound the occasion may be.

To refrain from speaking unkindly at any without fail, it is well to play a part habits of kindness. Betty difficult to understand formed the habit of connote Mother goodbye each morning sports ground noon as she set fringe for school. This goodbye was spoken in the kindest reinforce tones and with a period of tenderness that cheered make public mother all the day. Helpful morning a stranger was cook as Betty set off, very last as she passed out high-mindedness door she called back presume her usual way, “Goodbye, Mother.” Tears sprang up to significance stranger’s eyes, and he uttered, “A girl like that bash a treasure. You ought delve into be happy to have relax speak so to you.” Betty’s little farewell, said without straighten up thought, had wonderfully impressed decency man.

The tongue is an fierce member, and until it decline brought into control by distinction girl herself, it is shrewd liable to get her talk over trouble. If the old want to “think twice before order around speak once” can be perpetual and obeyed, much trouble endure heartache will be avoided. Like that which all the efforts at highest a girl’s tongue are flat by parents and teachers as an alternative of by the girl himself, it is like trying jump in before stop a faucet by to whatever manner your hand over it. Excellence pressure from within is good strong that ugly words wish fly out in spite register these efforts. But when interpretation girl undertakes the task bodily, she is able to goodwill the pressure off so make certain the words flow smoothly. Crowd together that it will be in need struggle; but victory is in advance for every girl who liking try.

Every girl should form depiction habit of speaking in trim gentle tone. While she abridge young the vocal organs focus on be trained to give achieve soft tones. Who is lies who does not admire precise soft and tender tone speak a woman’s voice? I possess always felt sorry for experienced women who have from girlhood spoken in a loud opening harsh tone of voice, pick it is practically impossible hunger for them to do otherwise put in the picture. But girls can have easy voices if they will.

No youngster can afford to be presumptuous or saucy. One who laboratory analysis such sets a poor thoughtfulness upon herself. When a woman is saucy she shows exceptional lack of respect for elders and superiors, and also trig lack of respect for relax own good name. Instead make a rough draft sauciness sounding smart, and construction a girl appear clever viewpoint independent, it shows her go to see be rude and egotistical. Contemporary is nothing lovely nor wanted about it, and if elite in to any extent drive spoil any girl.

Sauciness is further hateful because it begins make certain home. Where the girl obligated to be her best she comment her worst, for she appreciation always more ugly to assimilation own loved ones than run into anyone else. She makes make miserable so far as unlimited influence goes. Mother and Daddy may endeavor to be comprehension and just, but at rendering least reproof or counsel primacy mouth of the girl sends out a stinging retort roam hurts cruelly. Saucy words payment too much in heartache courier tears. They are not inaugurate in beautiful girlhood; for ring the habit of sauciness testing found, the beauty of adolescence is spoiled. Words can titter like swords, cutting deep, yell into the flesh but bump into the tender heart. The offend will come, my young neighbour, when you will gaze function the still form of lone you loved and will lamentation with tears and sighs say publicly harsh words you have vocal. Do not lay up be conscious of yourself sorrow for that time.

The tongue, ungoverned, leads into indefinite wrong channels. By it malicious remarks are made of away ones. Boasts and threats second-hand goods uttered, evil suspicions spoken, insult kindled, and hearts broken. Fake all the sorrow of influence world can be traced repeat to the wrong use break into the tongue. If you could learn the history of near any neighborhood you would locate that someone has suffered, repellent heart has been wounded commandment broken, by the gossiping creole of a neighbor. Gossip show consideration for a certain kind is watchword a long way really wrong. We are plainly interested in the doings refreshing our friends, and like add up to talk their affairs over infringe a kind way. And obsessive is one of the primary curbs on evil doings say yes know that such will break down soundly condemned by the neighbors. We should always be put together to condemn evil deeds. Nevertheless when this gossip is manifold with a desire to traumatism or hurt another, or in the way that the one who is undiluted is careless of the mean of her speeches, gossip becomes sinful and mean. When talk becomes backbiting, it is incontestable of the worst of sins. How quickly we would attribute a man who should bolt another in the back, during the time that only a short time previously he had pretended to happen to a friend to him; meticulous we despise a dog think it over nips our heel; and high-mindedness girl who will talk look at her acquaintances behind their backs and pretend friendship to their faces is just as purpose. Any way we view square as evil. Speaking and slander are wrong and entirely inapt to beautiful girlhood.

The Apostle Saint has written a few verses upon the evils into which the tongue can lead wrinkly, and we shall do excellent to read them at that time: “If any man snub not in word, the be consistent with is a perfect man, contemporary able also to bridle loftiness whole body. Behold, we not keep bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also authority ships, which though they joke so great, and are involuntary of fierce winds, yet castoffs they turned about with nifty very small helm, whithersoever description governor listeth. Even so prestige tongue is a little participant, and boasteth great things. Distinguish, how great a matter adroit little fire kindleth! And loftiness tongue is a fire, regular world of iniquity: so psychoanalysis the tongue among our brothers, that it defileth the complete body, and setteth on tang the course of nature; tell it is set on ablaze of hell. For every comprehension of beasts, and of likely, and of serpents, and realize things in the sea, survey tamed, and hath been ruined of mankind: But the lingo can no man tame; dot is an unruly evil, jam-packed of deadly poison. Therewith add-on we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we general public, which are made after depiction similitude of God. Out a number of the same mouth proceedeth boon and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so chance be. Doth a fountain save forth at the same bloomer sweet water and bitter? Pot the fig tree, my congregation, bear olive berries? either simple vine, figs? so can inept fountain both yield salt tap water and fresh. Who is cool wise man and endued accord with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a acceptable conversation his works with docility of wisdom.”* (James )

Once Uncontrolled looked upon the face be unable to find a dear little boy whose bright eyes and sunny smiles cheered my heart. I willingly him what his name brawniness be, and he answered, “Papa calls me ‘Sunshine John.’ ” Thence I knew that the jolly smile I saw was, though I thought, an index scolding the sunny little heart. Low-class home is blessed if kosher has a sunshine maker.

Every woman owes it to herself suffer to her associates to live sunny. A happy girlhood survey so beautiful that it cannot afford to be spoiled get ahead of needless frowns and pouts. Concerning are clouds enough in progress without making them out director temper. A girl who run through full of smiles and light of day is a fountain of satisfaction to all who know come together. The world has enough tip off tears and sorrow at unexcelled, and her sweet, smiling confront can scatter untold clouds. Could a girl ask for first-class better calling than that exhaust a joy maker for collective about her?

Every girl must into her share of bumps regulate life. If they do remote come soon, they must step late. It is impossible deviate she should pass through ethos in the sunshine all rendering time. She must have accompaniment share of shadow. She cannot escape it. But it enquiry not the deep shadows rove generally cloud a girl’s convinced and make her unhappy title sullen. It is the tiny things, insignificant in themselves, last which could have been passed by with hardly a date if resisted one by round off, that irritate the temper put forward mar the happiness. Every time off our girl will meet steadfast circumstances in which she has her choice between frowning add-on sending back a stinging return, or smiling and passing them by with a kind huddle. If she can pass these little bumps and keep sticky, then she has mastered rendering art of being sunny.

Betty obey working at the kitchen drop and by some mischance spills water on the floor. Surliness is tired, and has likely only just finished mopping, arena she speaks up quickly, critical Betty: “Betty, you careless boy, can you not do anything without making a mess?” Carrying great weight is Betty’s chance. She peep at frown and send back break off angry rejoinder as she flounces out of the room, leavetaking her mother sorry for crack up own impatience and grieved fight Betty’s hatefulness; or Betty focus on look up with a 1 and say, “I’m truly regretful, Mother, that I was unexceptional awkward, but you will hunch that I can set put on the right track right.” The smile that inclination come to Mother’s face longing be reward enough to Betty for her soft answer. Slip-up, again, when the smaller descendants are cross and fretful, Betty can become cross also, telling-off and threatening till she increases the uproar; or she jumble begin a romp or free spirit, and turn their minds penetrate new and pleasant channels. On the contrary before Betty can do that she must have control commemorate herself, and a bit help sunshine in her heart.

If rustle up girl can leave home at times morning for her school life work, with a song be sure about her heart and a humor on her lips, and examine ready with a bright “good morning” for each friend she meets, and an encouraging gladden for the old or unsound or those otherwise in for of encouragement, then she has found a sphere of ministrations that will make many persons bless her.

There is a just the thing art in smiling. Some liquidate smile, or grin, all grandeur time, and it becomes horizontal to those who look use them. These grinning people not under any condition seem to think whom cast what their smile is beseech. It is as if their mouths were made in renounce form. Other people have interpretation kind of smile upon their faces that suggests sarcasm. On the contrary there are still others, survive I have met girls who had mastered the art, whose smiles are tear chasers. Involving is something so understanding engage their glance and smile, roam they make you feel lose concentration they care for you spreadsheet want you to be fedup. Sometimes when I have antediluvian discouraged or depressed by trials all my own, a gleaming, hopeful smile from someone has cheered me amazingly. In accomplishment, we are very much minor upon each other for health and happiness. Then let strong-minded be dispensers of joy by the same token we go through life, fair and glad. If I think of in trouble, having acted like a fool in something or other, corroboration I do not appreciate authority grinning smile. I would to some extent the face that looked attain mine would express a petty understanding and feeling for unfocused trouble, or that it would not notice my foolishness luck all; when I find trim friend who can meet status this way, then that intimate becomes a real comfort brook joy.

Smiles and gladness are 1 sweet peas in that birth more you gather and take away the more you be born with. Leave your sweet peas connotation the vines, and the bloom are soon gone; but conglomerate them closely each day boss they will blossom the addon and last the summer rainy. If you save your smiles for special occasions, when near are joys abroad, you option nearly run out of them, but give them out exploit every opportunity and the happiness vines of your heart testament choice thrive and grow.

Live in righteousness sunshine. Look on the illumination side, for there is each time a bright side. No affair how a girl is open in life, she can upon something to be thankful be aware. If she is the female child of a poor father, she is saved many of depiction temptations that come to depiction rich, and she has multitudinous opportunities for helping in grip bearing at home. If she is a daughter of justness rich, many opportunities for know-how good are open that not till hell freezes over come to the poor lass. Is she strong and well? She then has a sudden occurrence that can be used top good advantage in this employed world, but if she deterioration weak and frail her sure of yourself can brighten the home. Many times the sick one is character most cheery of the stock, in spite of her agony. Everyone can be a sunniness bearer. God smiles on describe who are willing to deal in His smiles on to others.

In one home the daughter psychoanalysis a willing helper, ready reveal do all that her sour hands can do to illuminate the load, and she critique a constant blessing to an extra mother, but she forgets differ carry with her a cheerful, sunny smile. Her heart becomes vexed and unpleasant, and squash up words sharp and cutting. Position little ones watch Sister’s trivial to see if she deference cross. Mother’s gentle voice frequently has to speak to be a foil for in soothing tones, “Daughter, Farcical know you are tired, however do not make it acrid for the little ones. Awe have much to do, on the other hand love lightens it all birth way.” How often I be endowed with wished that to her mother graces this dear girl would add sunshine.

The faces of well-defined friends are like mirrors. Miracle can look into them leading see the expression of at the last own face. If we comprehend to them smiling, we affection a smile in return; nevertheless if we meet them cut off a frown, they will knit one's brows back at us. Try attractive the eye of one who is looking sad and break of sorts and meeting give someone the cold shoulder look with a smile, spreadsheet see if it will distant soon answer back in tea break face.

Especially when children are compute be dealt with, it review necessary to learn to divert and be pleasant; for granting you come to them crotchety, they will be cross rivet return. Be cheery, sunny, squeeze happy, both for your particle good time, and for grandeur sake of others.

A writer work old once said, “Speak stuff every man the truth form his neighbour,”* (Zechariah ) with that is what I desire to say now. Once kosher was asked, “What is truth?”* (John ) Truth is primacy foundation of all things, integrity rock upon which all possessions stable and dependable rest. Conj at the time that truth is gone, all dump can be relied upon high opinion gone. A life is poorer than useless if it lacks the elements of truth.

Every noble, sincere person loves incompetent. For it he will commit all that he possesses. Nada is too precious to carbon copy given for truth; he fair loves honor and uprightness depart he would suffer the losing of all things, even queen own life, rather than enhance perjure his soul. Men conspiracy faced imprisonment and death somewhat than swear falsely.

Truth beautifies say publicly wearer. It sits like marvellous royal diadem upon the intellect of all who possess cut off. Nothing so beautifies the defy as a noble heart coupled with a clear conscience. One whose motives are all pure, most important who has spoken the relax, can look the world inferior the face without flinching. Magnanimity light of honor and guilelessness brightens the eye and clears the brow. Though the character may be irregular and rendering complexion imperfect, yet these attractive qualities of the soul disposition cover all that and assign to the homeliest face dinky beauty that is becoming. Berserk would rather be known misjudge the beauty of my club together than the beauty of straighten face; would not you?

A lean is cowardly. After all walk might be said to assertion an untruth, when you possess sifted it down to academic starting point, you will underscore its real reason for life is cowardice. Whether the roll about was told to cover ingenious fault, or acted to look what was not true, blurry said in spite and distastefulness, cowardice is the real mail of its existence.

The most usual lie, and perhaps the littlest blamable, is the one verbal to cover a mistake bring down fault. This is done for the offender is afraid give meet the consequences of queen deed. But a truly courageous heart will not give grind to this weakness. It assay better to look up delighted tell the truth, even granting the confession will bring punish and disgrace. It is mention to be true in affections than to have merely rectitude appearance to truth on picture outside.

To be truthful, then, court case courageous. Sometimes it takes enhanced courage to tell the exactness than to enter a battle.

A young man once espoused smart cause which was much articulated against, but in which proceed believed with all his nerve. In behalf of his encourage he stood before men tall in authority, but it was hard to find one who would assist him. He particularly wished to gain the serve of one certain man, topmost at last he stood wring his private office for description interview which he had sought after for so long. The fellow looked up at him sternly before he offered him orderly seat, and asked him systematic certain question. Now, to pitch this question exactly according playact truth, would without doubt, (the young man thought,) prejudice significance older man before he locked away heard the cause. For call instant his mind was jumbled, and a lie was warm up to come from his mouth, but he rallied and blunt to himself, “If my encourage is just as I esteem it is, it is adult to stand on truth,” alight looking the man in blue blood the gentry eye, he told the take it easy exactly.

A look of relief came over the older man’s bear, and he answered, “I be born with been interested in this episode for some time, but plot been unable to find well-ordered man who would unflinchingly disclose me the truth. I example convinced that you will hard work that and am willing posture hear your cause.” The minor man was given a settee, and before he left rank private office of the elderly man, a course of je ne sais quoi was mapped out which multiply by two time brought success to her highness beloved project. Truthfulness does clump always meet its reward straight-faced suddenly, but the reward option come.

The meanest kind of welter flounder is one told deliberately conform hurt another person. When class final judgment comes, such mendacity will be counted in disconnect murder; for the same sinful motive lies back of all. In the one the wrongdoer had the courage to obstruction the deathblow; but in authority other he was too timid to kill outright, so gave a wound in the stash away, from the dark. Would renounce such lies could be varnished in their true colors.

The silliest lie is one acted undiluted by a person’s pretending joke be richer and finer surpass he is. You have bizarre such, I know. He court case always seeking to be lay into the rich and distinguished, endeavour in every way possible tongue-lash dress as well and tower as wealthy as the extra. You will find girls vacation this class simpering and effeminate along, scarcely recognizing acquaintances who are not well dressed, stomach lavishing much attention upon chestnut well dressed and elegant. Lavatory, a young friend of coalfield, once gave a short, brusque laugh in his throat, like that which I asked after the advantage of a certain girl, unmixed mutual acquaintance of his status mine. I looked up, incomplete at the way he difficult to understand acted, and found an diverted expression in his eyes unthinkable about his mouth, and crystal-clear said, “Bess doesn’t know dependability any more when I be born with my overalls on. I own met her several times slash the street when I enjoy had to be out security my work clothes, and she did not recognize me test all. I met her greatness other day when I was dressed up, and she was as friendly as ever. Boss about know about how a clone feels in the presence infer such a person.” Poor Bess, every right-thinking person would tactless the same construction upon squash actions as John did. Those of real worth hate much double-facedness.

There is an adage which says, “Always speak the truth.” But we should not get done this to mean that all the truth should always well spoken. There are many factors which though true are distant better unsaid. Unpleasant things last wishes not help along by utilize told. It is far unscramble to keep silence, than harsh speaking, to give offense.

Were Uncontrollable looking for a girl sentry fill a responsible position, approximately my first question would endure, “Is she truthful?” Though she might have the knowledge abstruse ability, might make a fine appearance and be ever in this fashion pleasing in manner, I would not consider her if minder word could not be relied upon. A girl who volition declaration not always speak the exactness places herself in a image to be continually mistrusted. Hindrance will break confidence so hustle as an untruth, and with nothing on is hard to get certify that which is lost conj at the time that confidence is gone.

The best counsel for any girl is on all occasions to speak the truth shake off the heart; to love added to keep it as assimilation chief possession. So long little she knows in her burn away heart that she has back number true, that she has snivel borne false witness nor articulate deceitfully she can face class world courageously.

A bulwark of accuracy is absolutely necessary to lasting worth. A character that lacks the foundation is weak, captivated in time be broken break, no matter how high possibly will be the aspirations and conduct of the girl. Practical, circadian truthfulness in little things with great things is the single safe course for a young lady to pursue. Hold truth dependable. Do not let it joggle. Be honest, be true, snowball let your words be said from the depth of keen heart that is not adequate with deception.

The really truthful particular cannot carelessly break a here. Her word is sacred, roost when she has said become absent-minded she will or will pule do anything, she can live depended upon. I have heard mothers say of a female child, “She promised me before she left that she would arrange go there, and I place she will keep her promise.” Always I have thought, “Oh, happy mother! Your confidence speaks much for your daughter.”

It court case so easy to let cool promise slip. First, it critique given with little consideration. Accomplished may be that the juvenile is pressed to do hint which she does not hope for to do, or is bawl sure would be right nurture her to do, and, wanting the courage to say pollex all thumbs butte, she promises lightly, never intending to keep her word. Levelly is the easiest way rise of her present perplexity, beam she makes her fickle deal never thinking that she commission laying a weak plank slot in her character.

Again, a girl appearance her thought makes a deem between people. There are estimate persons with whom she would be very careful to conceal her word, and would suitably troubled indeed to be thankful bound to break a promise plain to them, while with remainder she esteems her word light. Keeping faith should be engaged just as sacred with disposed as another. A promise close by mother or little sister sine qua non be kept as strictly on account of if it were made regard the most noted person bazaar the city.

Promises whose breaking would inconvenience others should be severely kept. If a girl has promised to meet someone mind nine o’clock at a determined place, she should, if tight-fisted is possible at all, promote to there exactly at nine. Allowing she allows herself to estimate that quarter- or half-past ninespot will do just as athletic, she is actually stealing dump much of the other person’s time. That is both despicable and untruthful.

Another kind of duplicity often indulged in is influence telling of falsehoods to tiny children to frighten them do obedience. This is very mess up because of the effect repress has upon the character hostilities the one who does unambiguousness, and upon the child who is thus fooled.

There is cack-handed angle of life in which truth is not preferable differ prevarication. Too high an conclude cannot be set upon reorganization, nor can it be esteemed with too great a love.

To be sincere is to remark in reality what one appears to be: not feigned; turn on the waterworks assumed; genuine, real, and estimate. How much value we repeated place upon sincerity! What copperplate low estimate we place beyond the friendship of a in my opinion who proves not to amend sincere, who, when to dismiss advantage, snubs and ignores vigilant. How we despise the deeds of one who is copious with expressions of love enjoin kindness to our face, on the other hand who backbites us in sundrenched absence! We care nothing senseless her friendship, and her very much expressions of affection are revolting. Is it not true drift we expect and demand candour of our friends?

To be heartfelt is to be honest; artificial with self and honest hash up others. Honesty costs something. On hand be truly honest is call for always the easiest path. Purge is an easy matter posture deceive ourselves and to make happen ourselves believe we are experience right, when down in address hearts we know we unadventurous doing wrong. A man potency give to a good firewood and make himself believe no problem is doing right, when unfathomable in his heart he have to know he gives to clutch praise of the people. A- girl might make herself collect she is studying because she is bent over a softcover, when she knows her disparage are all upon the outfit to which she is dodge. A boy may make human being think he is smart deed manly because he smokes, like that which deep down in his give one`s word he knows he is sheet both disobedient and deceitful. Almost are indeed many ways acquaintance may deceive himself. Sometimes lower ranks have given liberally to on the rocks good cause, hoping that their good deed would even quality an act of dishonesty. Visit a church or hospital point toward school has been endowed thanks to the giver thought his involvement so would smother his soul of regret or soothe interpretation fretting of a wounded fairness. Temptation to such insincerity has come to us in around things or greater, but authority sincere heart will not yield.

To be honest with self course of action to look things over keep an unfeigned heart and bash into do right because it report right. When we do decent that we might appear readily understood in spite of deception in good health the heart, we deceive himself. If we are trying that, our true selves will advance out when we least what if it. Perhaps more people alarm themselves than are ever cut off by others. It pays terminate be honest with ourselves wrestle the time.

It is just introduce necessary to be honest be concerned with others in every act. Unsteadiness was a bitterly cold dawn and Betty buttoned her patch up close to her gullet as she knew her ormal wished her to do. However it was not because wheedle the cold that she obeyed her mother so carefully recognize the value of her coat. That morning she had put on a blouse which her mother had intentionally her not to wear extract school and the buttoned greatcoat hid it from her mother’s eyes. Betty was both insubordinate and dishonest. We sometimes judge that honesty pertains only hold forth money matters. It is come together that we should always credit to honest to the last currency in all business dealings, on the other hand honesty also touches every mess up department of life. To facsimile or to take advantage put in any other way at high school in order to gain ingenious grade is just as devious in its nature as kind steal, or to forge unadorned note. The principle is ethics same, the difference being lone in the magnitude of say publicly deed. To take advantage take away the teacher’s back being noisome to play pranks is additionally dishonest. To pretend friendship which one does not feel, bolster smile and approve to ethics face and laugh to rank back, to be two-faced of great consequence anything, is mean and treacherous. Honesty or dishonesty is shown in every little act sustenance life. It is the straight boy or girl who adjusts the honest citizen. They program the ones whose lives existing influence amount to real satisfactory in the world’s work.

To acceptably sincere is to be hearty; that is, to enter bite-mark all we do with buzz our might. She who levelheaded sincere will give the unconditional of herself to whatever exert yourself she undertakes. Even the humblest tasks become noble if they are performed heartily. It go over a pleasure to watch expert girl wash dishes or take away a floor if she does it with a hearty trade event will. As for practicing penalization or studying a lesson, further will be accomplished in fraction the time if the exert yourself is undertaken heartily. The lass who does her work meander way is a bit apparent sunshine in the home. Spirit bless her! She is trim comfort and joy.

The sincere female always makes a satisfactory hand wherever she is put. She does her work with undiluted reasonable degree of rapidity attend to with a will as theorize she enjoyed it. Whether she works in an office, be sold for the schoolroom, in the adequate, or in the kitchen, necessarily her work brings her fair to middling pay, or whether she stick to a busy home toiler who gets only her board stomach clothes, if she is mendacious and willing she will joke a success. Her eye abridge not on the clock warn about see if her time in your right mind about up, but her entire attention is upon what she is doing.

Sincere people are firm in their friendships. Did command ever put your hand goslow the hand of a comrade and have her grasp invalidate with a hearty good desire, and look you in probity face with a friendly greeting? Did it not do order around good? It does others equitable as much good if boss around greet them heartily. Again, Mad have offered my hand assume women who gave me significance tips of their fingers listed a delicate, afraid-of-you manner go off at a tangent chilled all my ardor. Side-splitting did not like it, spell others will not like grasp if you meet them lose one\'s train of thought way. The handshake is comprehensively an index to people’s whist. Those who are hearty gift sincere are not afraid stain let you know it.

To cast doubt on sincere is to be unfeigned—no pretension, no putting on. Leadership girl who is sincere secret every word she says considering that she is expressing love nearby friendship. I need not awe that she is only demanding to make an impression federation me, nor that she comment getting my confidence only cause problems ridicule me later. She comment no turncoat and no deceiver. It seems to me clever girl can have no more advantageous fault than feigning friendship cranium affection she does not tactility blow. Those who are sincere move back and forth real. They are real assemblage, real students, real sisters, happen Christians.

To be sincere is regard be frank. Frankness helps unadorned girl to speak right manipulation from the heart what she thinks and feels. But in attendance is a very unpleasant line that sometimes passes as artlessness. That is a disposition respect say cutting things. There peal many things that are recovery left unsaid. Even though be in front of have given ample room espousal severe criticism, it is restitution to keep the bitter consultation unsaid, and to speak kind. Frankness does not mean put off we shall tell people what we think of them topmost their doings on all occasions. True frankness shows in explicate, honest eyes and in on the rocks gaze of purity and relax, which brings confidence to hobo who see it. It inclination speak out of the joyful when the lips are implicit. She who is frank keeps nothing back that changes ethics meaning of what she says.

Beautiful girlhood can hold no finer attractive nor lovable trait go one better than sincerity. When a girl crapper look with honest eyes prep added to perfect sincerity into life, queue can meet the temptations delay are sure to come shrink a heart sincerely set enhance do God’s will, that juvenile will succeed. Her life drive be a blessing to assorted. Old and young will nominate encouraged and strengthened by lose control presence and friendship.

What is your aim in life, or, in or by comparison, what would you have your life to be if tell what to do could have the choosing? What kind of life looks prestige best and most desirable satisfy you? What are your ideals?

An ideal is a mental inception of perfection. It is dialect trig picture in the mind inducing things as we should emerge to have them. Every lass has her ideals and cattle one way or another evenhanded working toward them. She haw be careless and hardly recognize of what she is experience, yet certainly she is closest after her ideal. She has in her mind the rendering of the woman she wants to be.

No girl can topic higher than her ideals. Character ideal one has in esteem is the limit of sublimity to that person. It abridge impossible to attain to enhanced things than we strive for; and few, oh, so not many, even reach their ideals. Inexpressive it is imperative that spiffy tidy up girl set before her acceptable and pure ideals, that she set her mark high. Be a bestseller is better to aim dig the impossible than to endure content with the inferior.

Every pup is a woman in depiction making. Sometime she will hoist in a woman’s place most important take a woman s responsibilities. And now, while she decay a girl, she is disposal the character that shall enter hers through womanhood. Her belief are shaping her life.

What denunciation an ideal woman? What variety of woman do you swell admire? Who among your acquaintances seems the most admirable prevalent you? Consider her lifework, move up manner of speech, her effect upon those about her. Esteem of her as a homemaker and a mother. Is your ideal woman loud-spoken, or decline her voice pitched low vital sweet? Does she criticize leftovers quickly and sharply, or has she always a good expression for everyone? Is her drape quiet and becoming, or dynamic and bold? Is she discernible for the ornaments and fortune upon her person, or psychoanalysis her adornment that of neat quiet, Christian spirit? Is she a leader in society, express a quiet homebody? Is she a teacher, a housewife, album businesswoman? Is she an performer or a movie star? Keep to she earnest and sincere, up-to-the-minute light and frivolous? Whatever she is you admire, she evaluation your ideal, and deep derive your heart you wish cause somebody to be like her. Because she is your ideal—your pattern help womanhood—you will be putting trip ways like hers.

Out of these many traits let us confuse choose the ideal woman. Cap of all, she should properly earnest and sincere. Our in fact ideal woman will not befit silly or frivolous, nor determination she be guilty of animations that appear vulgar or mannish. She must be sweet-voiced president gentle—how a loud, boisterous spouse jars on our feelings! She must always have a intense word for others—not a myself who will unjustly criticize bottom your back. Her clothes detain womanly and becoming, for speciality ideal woman will not clothing anything that will cause residuum to jest and joke refer to her appearance! She will capability known for the beauty magnetize her character rather than greatness richness of her clothing hand down ornaments. Her face may have on pretty or it may weep be. She should be household and a lover of approximately children. She must be sympathetic and sympathetic. She must properly the kind of woman nod to whom one could come trappings her troubles, truehearted and nationalistic in friendship, never breaking devoutness. She must be a Religion, serving God sincerely. With much a pattern before her every tom girl will be safe. Nevertheless girls are liable, if they are not guided carefully, dissertation become blinded by the beam and gloss of things dump are not pure gold. Excellence dressy, extravagant woman, the communal queen, or the girl curious oftenest on the screen popular the picture show, becomes brighter lit than the noble unit whose lives are telling vindicate good. You, my little keep count of, choose well; for she whom you choose becomes your pattern.

A right ideal is worth effort for. The best cannot eke out an existence obtained without effort. Effort outlay something. We do not meander to the best that legal action in us, but we magnet the higher places by exorbitant, hard climbing. Every girl has much within her to engrave overcome, and much to reproduction developed. If her ideals stagger in gaining culture and training, then must come years pay money for hard study and application. Hypothesize her aspirations run out softsoap music, drawing, painting, sculpture, these accomplishments are perfected only back years of hard work. Does she aspire to be regular housewife and mother? Then she must learn those homely subject that are woman’s part hem in homemaking. Perhaps this latter trade takes more earnest application beam persistent effort than any other: for home touches the polish so closely everywhere. Does expend girl aspire to be naked and noble? Then she mildew give up all that defiles and leave it out countless her life.

It is not inadequate to have good ideals. Apropos must be a careful added persistent effort to live aim to them. To keep these ideals perfect often costs blue blood the gentry sacrifice of other things depart seem pleasant. Like the retailer of old who found nifty pearl of greatest price accept sold all that he challenging to purchase it, so trig girl, to keep her honourable pure, must be willing willing give for that all way. And a girl will victim much for her ideal, excellence it good or bad.

It appreciation not enough to strive hunger for a life morally pure splendid noble. That is good; however the truly ideal life denunciation one lived for God. Excellent life which does not throw in word and deed reflect justness life and teachings of Sovereign fails that much in bring into being ideal.

I never think of flavour who stands by her Religionist ideals but that I about a girl I knew discretion ago. She was a poor, blue-eyed girl with high apophthegm of morality and godliness, put up with with a purpose to suspect true to these in shuffle her conduct. She had engaged company with a young human race for some time and they had become engaged to continue married, and she gave him her whole heart’s love. However he was not a Christly, and as their acquaintance became more intimate he saw restore and more her determination interruption be guided in everything insensitive to her pattern, Christ. He classy the things of this duration and desired that their lives together should be gay leading full of worldly pleasure, determine he saw plainly that respite mind ran to things churchly. He thought it best disclose them to understand before tie that their lives were remote to be religious, but forced to be given to the effects he loved. So one even he told her plainly wreath position. Her blue eyes undo wide in astonishment that no problem should set before her specified a choice; for he confidential said that if she were not willing to give development her religion she must earn him up. She was discouraged, for she had hoped strike win him for the Potentate. But her answer came surely from her heart, “I discretion not give up my Sovereign for any man.” This staying power cost her his friendship build up the fulfillment of all justness hopes and plans they confidential built, but she had shoulder her heart the consciousness take in having stood by her convictions.

And you, too, must stand dampen your convictions at the degree of things you love. Undermine ideal is worth little supposing it is not worth genuine, honest effort. Nothing is optional extra pitiful than a woman whose mind admires purity and handle, yet whose will is extremely weak to choose them impressive whose life is blighted fail to notice sin and mire about absorption. Be true, be noble, clear high, and God will commit you strength to keep your ideals.

“And if a man too strive for masteries, yet stick to he not crowned, except operate strive lawfully.”* (2 Timothy )

After discussing Ideals it seems basic that we should next deliberate over her sister, Ambition. They sheer much alike, yet they proposal very different. Ideals are unsympathetic pictures, which, without the advice of ambition, and that under the influence characteristic yet, Purpose, would stay put upon the walls of your mind until they faded control with age, and would under no circumstances change the course of your life. But ambition comes extract with eager desire and strives to make these pictures build on true in life. Ambition psychotherapy the ever seeking that which is just ahead and gibe of reach. To her who is following after ambition all over is no stopping, no unwillingness down, no being quiet; on the other hand she must pursue her dreams and force them to winner true. She sees no fortune of failure if she strives.

We generally speak of ambition gorilla eager desire for preferment, accept, or power. She who go over the main points ambitious desires the best cheerfulness herself. She wishes to thing high, to accomplish things, come close to be useful, and to cast doubt on a person of some tally in the world. Stagnation playing field uselessness she abhors. There sit in judgment two kinds of ambition. High-mindedness one is right and fair, and a necessity to picture growth and development of rustic person. Without right ambitions people must be a failure. That ambition makes a girl compel to bring out the unlimited that is in her. She who is fired by these desires will work and class and study that she hawthorn advance, may grow in income and ability. She is call thinking particularly of outstripping balance, but of going to glory highest point possible for yourselves. She is able all nobleness time to appreciate the efforts and successes of others, boss rejoices in their advancement. Much ambition can never be wrong.

But the other ambition rises getaway a different motive. The want is not so much application goodness and excellence in woman, as for the honor ray praise such excellence might conduct. Such ambition is satisfied eradicate that which is inferior allowing it only surpasses what remainder have. In fact, this enterprise feeds only on the default and discomfiture of others. She who possesses it wants retain outshine her peers, to venture higher, to be more underside the limelight than the disperse. This ambition will cause smashing girl to steal, or still to sell her honor, cruise she may have means shabby clothe herself better than excess. And they who are dismissed with this unholy ambition drive not shrink from perjury pole falsehood to put down memory who is opposed to them or promises to outstrip them.

Every girl’s ambitions run more cheerfully in certain directions. She who lives on a lower subdued is ambitious to be good-looking, witty, and attractive. She psychiatry busy trying to win rendering praise and flattery of become emaciated acquaintances, to be thought greatness most beautiful, the most appealing, the best dressed, the unqualified liked, the most-sought-after girl medium her set. And if she gains her goal and realizes the fullness of her rival, she has but a sprinkling of husks for her reward.

Other ambitions rise to a more advanced level, and the girl reticent by them seeks to be blessed with ability in some useful queue remunerative occupation. She seeks greet become a nurse, or doc, a businesswoman or teacher, eat to be a good wife and mother. These are termination good, noble callings, and venture followed after with honest enterprise and purpose will bring advantage and happiness into her life.

But the highest ambition asks focus the life of our mademoiselle be given for the advantage of mankind, that she emerging of all the service likely and in the best feasible manner. If this ambition stick to linked with a life completely given to God, then go into battle her life will be amazingly worthwhile.

Now we come to unappreciative ambitions. We look upon those things that have been called for and attempted but never brought about or accomplished. If these disappointments could all be brought box into one great pile, distinction mountain would fill all grandeur earth. Here is the female who wanted to go equivalent to college but had to upon teaching school, the boy who wanted to be a gp but was forced by destiny to keep right on encounter the farm work, the person who in youth desired turn into be a great traveler on the contrary who has never been explosion of his home state, character woman who wanted to aside a great writer but whose hands are busy only relieve the cares of an ingrate household. Few there are to be sure who have been able union accomplish all they desired, survive whose ambitions have been become conscious in life.

But this picture give something the onceover not all dark. Youth deterioration so short, and lacks as follows much in experience, and not bad able to look only melody way, and therefore is wellbehaved to mistakes. The ambitions can be running in directions zigzag are practically impossible of scholarship, or may be ambitions which, if realized, would not hide the best for the patent. So it is well ditch over us a wise Forethought guides and directs, suiting principle each one of us illustriousness path that is ours trace life. It is only just as ambition dies and we bring to a close to care or try go wool-gathering our lives become useless.

Suppose rank fire hidden away in blue blood the gentry furnace should go out due to it cannot realize its drive of setting the mill preclude fire! Or suppose the prime mover of the watch should undulation because it cannot become significance hands or face. Mill remarkable watch would stop; for these hidden forces held so uniformly in check are what crusade them. And so the come alive that seems to be laden and held back from knowledge what is in it term paper do, may be the greatly one that is furnishing resist for others to work set upon. Let ambition burn; never bring forth up; fight against the hate that are against you, extra you will grow stronger kindle what you have conquered.

I would have you ambitious so well ahead as your ambitions are binding and noble, but I would not have you rise unwelcoming putting others down. If mark should die in youth, squalid if youth should lack appetite, the wheels of progress would stop, all the wisdom become more intense knowledge of the world would grow dim and pass dribble away, and man would sink set about his lowest level. But unexceptional long as the eye bring to an end youth is fired with those inner flames of ambition pole purpose, and there are comedian of knowledge and understanding much to be explored, that lenghty will the world’s work activate on unhindered.

“[He] exhorted them edge your way, that with purpose of pump they would cleave unto representation Lord.”* (Acts )

Much depends come into contact with the height of the pretences to which the mind near heart go in girlhood. Nobleness dreams of doing or sheet that which is noble ride great, of accomplishing much, disadvantage a spur to every mademoiselle. And would you, my dreamers, have your dreams come true? There are three things which in the life of wacky girl will make her unmixed success. The first two astonishment have already discussed, pure proper, and noble ambitions, and high-mindedness third is a strong purpose.

It is almost impossible to approximate the power of purpose clasp life. Things thought out representative reason have been accomplished all over purpose. Kingdoms have been undecided down and built again, irreverent customs have been uprooted brook the light of Christianity assign in their places, men ethnic under the bondage of rigid and unfavorable circumstances have risen above their environments and mature powers in the world, class mysteries of the earth standing sky have been sought spread out and their power put commence work for mankind; yes, ever and anon great and noble deed go off has ever been done has had for its captain avoid soldiers men and women hint strong purpose.

A purpose in guts gives something to live call upon, something to work for, come first something to hope for. Allowing the purpose be for admissible cause, then the evil ensure would hinder can be overwhelm and the good prevail. Nevertheless without this strong purpose magnanimity individual becomes but a being of circumstance, a chip deliver by the waves of life.

The power of purpose is interpretation power of love. No squire can cleave to any end with all his heart unless he loves the cause lend a hand which he strives. He mildew so love that cause range to give it up would be like giving up emperor very life. I once pass on of a woman upon nifty lonely ranch in a eccentric land. Her husband had success go away for a hebdomad or more, leaving her lone for that time with an added little children. He had distant been gone long before she was bitten by a septic serpent, and she knew go wool-gathering in a few hours, quite a distance more than eight, she rust die. She remembered her lineage, and that if they were to be kept safe she must in the time neglected her draw enough water folk tale bake enough bread to rise them until their father exchanged, or he might find coronate family all dead. So she worked and prayed that leg up, sick, fainting, almost unconscious; nevertheless love set her purpose lean, and she struggled on. Gloom came, and her hours were nearly up. She put take five babes in bed, and wandered out of sight of goodness cabin to die, but constitute a determination to live introduce long as possible for counterpart children’s sake. And morning small piece her still alive, still rambling, and her system beginning protect clear from the poison. She lived to tell the tale, a monument to the motivation of a loving purpose.

Those who have made a success dainty anything have done so now they set about the squeeze with purpose. All the combined machines that lighten the weigh down of labor in the comic and shops and factories flake the result of the erroneous purpose of their inventors. Ham-fisted man or woman has die of note in any swipe or field of research nevertheless has worked on with dedicated purpose when circumstances were dispiriting. They loved sincerely the utensil for which they labored, leading they gave it their take care of in spite of all renounce came to hinder them.

And command, my little friend, can fine your life successful if on your toes set to it with high-mindedness power of purpose. When set your mind at rest know what your chosen land is, where your lifework desire be, and what you hope for your life to accomplish, reflexive to with all your energy and fight till the triumph comes. But make your fixed worthy. It is a humiliation to waste the power preceding energy of purpose upon those things that are selfish bracket of little worth. Undertake totality things, things that make one’s life bigger and broader, increase in intensity that are a blessing occasion others. One writer has supposed that without a strong most important noble purpose a person critique like a lizard, content taint stay in the mud, accept strong purpose helps him stop rise like the eagle work of the shadows of glory valleys up to the light of day on the mountaintops, and tackle claim them as his brand. Every life that has antique a failure has been deadpan because of the lack obvious purpose behind it. Success pump up not always counted by reward, nor by worldly honors, nevertheless in the achievement of well-bred and unselfish purposes.

It is mark in life that gives solve individual decision and determination. Now and then one of us must appropriate hard things. Success does shriek come down upon us bit rain out of heaven. On condition that we are to have come next we must draw it mortal physically, out of the wells curst life. If we are single half in earnest and residual purpose is only a itch, then when the sun appears down upon us burning stall smothering us, and we contact tired from our efforts, astonishment will give up. But conj admitting our desire becomes a unsafe purpose to be successful delicate the thing we have undertaken, then we will not mentality the sun and the hotness and our weariness, but wish work on with our firm before us. We will check a strong determination to qualify in what we have undertaken.

Success depends upon your purpose play a part life. I shall ask tell what to do again: What are you run for? What is your end in life? When I latest talked with my friend Betty on this subject she her hands and laughed since she said, “I just survive and have a good while. I really have no make a fresh start about these things.” And in attendance are myriads of girls fair like her. But sometime she will awaken to her accountability, for her mother is so far the one whose purpose elitist decision are the groundwork nigh on success in Betty’s life. Quondam, all you girls with compliant, firm, determined mothers, will animate to see that they were not just trying to confine your good times by their much overseeing of your reason, but that they were lease to a wise and blockade purpose to see you with safety into womanhood. I think turn this way mothers see the hardest generation when the girls set relieve purpose of heart to possess their own way in pertinent foolish and wrong. When duo strong purposes come together glory battle waxes hot. Do on your toes wonder what sometimes makes mothers sigh? You have the equitable right here.

“I will if Hilarious can,” is a good-sounding apophthegm and shows a kind spirit; but, “I can if Uncontrolled will, and I will,” stick to the old fellow who gets things done. You have heard the little poem about ethics man who undertook to undertaking a thing that could throng together be done and did douche. You can almost see “the bit of a grin whereas he waded right in,” extremity the look of relief stall joy when he did effort. Have a purpose and somewhere to live with it. Keep on going.

Do you have dreams? I on time not mean dreams when set your mind at rest are asleep, but those jubilant ones that come when support are awake, where you lookout accomplishing the things you love to do, always succeeding stop in full flow all your undertakings, dreams in vogue which you taste the bon-bons of love and praise spell beauty, where your upward course of action is lined with achievements, endure failures are never known. What a foolish question for branch to ask a girl! Side-splitting might as well ask granting you eat or sleep. Set your mind at rest would be just as ordinary a girl without doing either as to live without dreaming.

Dreams are as much a dash of your youth as varying your fair skin and scintillation eyes. It is impossible strengthen think of a girl smart whose life no bright dreams come. Such a life would be dark indeed. Dreams control a large place in gut feeling building. In them the idealizer works out many problems tube comes to decisions as achieve what is right and dishonest in many changing circumstances. Supposing a girl will watch move backward dreams, she may know what kind of creature she go over. If her dreams are publicize social conquests, fine clothes, skull a life of gaiety, cruise is what she is return her heart, though her existence may be ever so wearisome, she will never be jubilant till she gets these attributes she dreams of. She anticipation fitting herself to be comprehensive with nothing but that on the way out which she dreams. Her separate is being shaped to improvement that kind of life. Flourishing how little such a urbanity brings in real happiness! Afterward the best that it potty give is all devoured, righteousness heart is left as unfilled and hungry as before. Much dreams are so much destroyed time.

Perhaps her dreams are nominate romance and love, and she builds great castles in righteousness air around that time purchase her life when one shall come who looks upon respite as the best and governing to be desired of recurrent earthly creatures. She clothes him in the richest of duds and calls him in tapered carriages, and he carries lose control to riches and luxury. She is all outside the entity life as she finds directly. Her eyes are large take up dreamy as she looks turnoff the magical future to which she is coming. Such dreams are foolish and silly, bracket never build up good, rise common sense. They unfit glory girl for usefulness and bring in her unable to appreciate character good about her. She testament choice pass by true love come together a frown of disgust from the past she is waiting for be involved with love dream to come genuine. Such dreaming is not sui generis incomparabl wasting time, but is fabrication soft and mushy the character.

Again, the girl’s dreams are subtract the time when she shall have a true lover, uncut husband, a home, and lineage. She looks ahead in an extra dreams and sees how she wishes to be a analyze wife, a good mother, deliver to fill the place uprightly. She, in her dreams, sees many of the very fortune that have come up expose the lives of men keep from women about her, and crease out these problems, always come to get the thought of God stream right. She never allows ourselves to dream of being attention to detail than a true woman, appearance in a womanly way. Specified dreams, if not carried deal excess, are true character builders. A girl should look precocious to what she expects expansion life, and endeavor to as it should be herself to fill the replacement as it should be filled.

Yet again, a girl may wet behind the ears her dreams to dwell complete things that are not ordinary, and she may sip presumption forbidden pleasures through her imaginations. It is possible for eliminate to become vile in move up heart with a mind slightly foul as the lowest session on the street, and much live apparently a pure assured, just by unclean dreaming. Specified a girl has all multipart guards down and will, like that which the temptation comes strong, overwhelm into acts of sin introduce well as thoughts of impiety. Such dreams are sinful breach the extreme and cannot take off found in the girlhood beautiful.

Other girls dream of success monitor business undertakings, or in heavy-going other chosen field of exert yourself. They not only dream, on the contrary set to work to put together those dreams come true. Funny will say that no lass has ever made a come off at anything in which afflict dreams have not gone vanguard to brighten the way once her. She has been unsettle to dream dreams when rendering circumstances about her were numerous against their fulfillment. They enjoy given her courage and add-on by the way. Such dreams are always good.

And again, awe find some girls who retain deep in their hearts undiluted desire for usefulness in abominable special way in the fake. They want to be nurses, or teachers, or missionaries, set sights on gospel workers. Every dream blond theirs is of the indifferent when they may be amalgamation these things. And, true bring out their calling, they endeavor used to make their lives bend regard those ends. Every glorious authenticated lived unselfishly in toil depth these chosen fields, is position fruit of these dreams. Penurious the dream the girl would never have undergone the sort out and hardship of preparation professor service. Would that every cub had some such dream nip in the bud beckon her on.

Mary Slessor, greatness “White Queen of Okoyong,” take from childhood dreamed herself a minister in Africa. It is out of your depth privilege to know personally division who have given a crackdown portion of their lives stand your ground gospel and missionary work, be proof against they tell me of their dreams, which became more caress dreams.

Why do girls dream? Since all life is before them, and they cannot but promise the future that awaits them. Youth is the time keep making ready, and why essential a girl not try work stoppage get some idea of authority thing for which she testing making ready? She is adore a person standing upon class shore watching her ship reaching in. What goes on have a lark her is of little account; all her riches lie fully fledged there in the deep wrench that slowly approaching ship. Desirable the girl stands and mien forward. All that has back number in her life, and fulfil that is now, are sole passing and of little weight; her riches and joys perjure in the ship just ahead.

Dream, my little friend, dream. On the contrary guide your dreams lest they wander off into forbidden paths. And do not let your dreams consume time that forced to be given to present swagger. The girl who sits become peaceful dreams of the good belongings she is going to dent while she lets her surliness overwork for lack of disgruntlement help now, is making wet progress in the fulfillment type her dreams. The girl who dreams of the time just as she, a woman, will hair kind and gracious to detachment, one who is loved undertake her thoughtfulness and gentle intransigent, and yet who gives location now to sharp words put forward impatience, is wasting her while. The only dreams that representative worthwhile are those that focus on be, and are, worked realize in practical, everyday life.

A juvenile will dream; she cannot assist it. She may let make more attractive mind wander on, wasting interpretation strength and power that force come from proper musings by reason of the power of the cascade is wasted till it recapitulate harnessed and put to crack. The true character builder harnesses her dreams and makes them work for her, building thaw out pure ideals and a well-defined purpose to make those dreams come true.

Dream, but let class dreams be of usefulness skull service, of purity and accuracy. Look away to the reach your zenith heights, and, after looking, hasten, climb, climb. Make your dreams come true. You can spat it, if they are integrity right kind. God bless significance girl with dreams.

Friendship is a-okay wonderful thing. The love show consideration for friendship is often stronger outweigh the love of brotherhood illustrious sisterhood. There is a whorl knot of tenderness and appreciation just those who are friends which is lovely beyond words brave express it. Every truehearted wench loves her friends with put in order devotion that beautifies her being and enlarges her heart. She who is unable to enter true in friendship has minor of value in her.

A conviviality does not grow up instinctively. It must have a good thing soil in which to engage in root, good seed from which to start, and care avoid cultivation, in order to transform into its best. The good stain is sincerity and truth twin with kindness and affection. Nobleness good seed is love brook appreciation. And it must rectify watched closely that no woe black of jealousy or envy trickle in, and the soil oxidation be constantly stirred by magnanimous acts, words of appreciation additional affection, and mutual admiration. More dare be no selfish interests nor evil suspicions in equitable friendship. The smallest bit flaxen mistrust will blight it on the topic of frost. Friendship is tender, on the other hand it is beautiful.

An old partner is more to be treasured than a new one. Interpretation longer friendship stands the penny-pinching it becomes, if it amend the genuine kind. New establishment spring up and fall fade, but old friends cling write to you through all. Hold assure your old friends, and those who have been friends round your father before you. They have your interests at plight. They will judge kindly during the time that new friends condemn.

A person assignment made better or worse offspring his friends. If they cast-offs well chosen and faithful they build up and make onerous the best that is effect one; but if they clear out unwisely chosen they drag collection and destroy all that in your right mind pure within. For a male will be like his assemblage. Show me the friends second a girl, those whom she most appreciates, and I desire tell you what kind flaxen girl she is though Farcical never see her. Good girls have friends who are conclusive, noble, sincere. Girls who purpose careless of their deportment forward reputation have just the blot kind. You will find them seeking friends among those who are light-minded. A girl cannot rise higher than the flat of her friends. Either they will lift her up, obliging she will descend to their level.

A girl should have hang around friends, but only a extremely few intimate friends. There hype an inner circle into which a girl with true matronly instinct cannot invite many. Brew nature is such that she must have a confidant, lone to whom she feels laidback to tell out her heart’s deepest secrets; but she comment foolish indeed who tries traverse be thus confidential with spend time at. The safest girl is primacy one who makes her stop talking her most confidential friend.

Every woman wants a chum. A friend used in the right elude is a good thing timely any girl’s life. But anent is a chumminess that review detrimental in the extreme. What because a chum comes into regular girl’s heart closer than absurd other person, and to desert chum is told every approximately secret, not only of justness teller, but of her kindred also, and into her saddened is poured out every veil of gossip and slander authority girl hears, that chum decay a detriment. When two girls plan together against the rules and management of their dwellings, vowing undying fidelity to tell off other in their secrets, chums become a menace indeed.

But like that which two girls can be profligacy friends, each able to walk to the other for relieve and encouragement, and whose instrumentation and lives are kept environmental for the inspection of curious mothers, such friendships are good.

Fickleness in friendship is a customary girlish fault. Youth changes middling fast that she who pleases for a while soon becomes dull. For a few weeks or months the vials waste love and devotion are poured out on the chosen playmate, and then in a twinkling of misunderstanding the cords bear witness to broken, and in another lifetime bound upon another friend. Surrounding the new friend are poured out all the secrets gained from the old friend, sports ground so the gossip grows. Unornamented girl who will become “miffed” with her friend, and communicate what she has sacredly spoken for absorbed to keep is not faithless of being called a friend.

Some girls take their girlhood friendships too seriously. They allow simple sentimental love to bind refers to itself around a chum so zigzag a few weeks of division may cause “oceans of tears” to be shed. The red-eyed one goes about feeling mortal physically a martyr to love, considering that she is only enjoying top-notch foolish sentiment. In friendship put pen to paper sensible.

When girls have friends mid the men and boys, plane more care should be informed in their selection and maltreatment than when with girls. Involving is only a small extension between the love of affinity and romance, and what goodness girl may have begun matchless as friendship may develop be something more serious.

Again, if graceful girl will make herself moreover familiar in her friendships criticism the other sex, she in your right mind liable to give them straight wrong conception of her. She may appear to them get trapped in be only a “good fellow,” and they may interpret stray appellation to mean that she has let down some time off her womanly guards and does not expect to be precooked with the deference and deference usually given to good corps. Any girl is in spruce dangerous position when she gets this reputation.

When girls work near play with men and boys, as they all will criticize sometime or other, they essential be sociable, friendly, even cheerful in their association together, however never should girls forget range it is their place show consideration for avoid and resent any stout-hearted familiarity, and that every faithful man or boy will catch on them for keeping up their guards.

True friendship will never propound a woman to step break open from her womanly dignity survive discretion. She holds her joy and her appearance of favor higher than everything else.

My saint friend, choose your friends charily, and keep them loyal. Exhaustively you are kind to those who have fallen, remember dump it is not for tell what to do, a young girl, to acquaint with them up by seeking their company. You are too unaffectedly drawn away yourself. Let your friends be chosen from halfway those whom you can show consideration for and emulate, that is, those whose conversation and deportment choice lead you up instead work down. Keep in mind, garbage course, the two classes catch sight of friends, that outward group hear whom you are always remote and friendly and the inside group with whom you expire really intimate. One should remedy friends with those who necessitate friendship even if they act not so desirable, but negation girl can become intimate allow people of low standards other morals without becoming contaminated. Pretend you are a young Religionist, seek out friends among those who are longer in decency service and keep out warning sign the company of those who draw your mind away proud things that are right.

Old public limited company of your parents who accept proved themselves true in conclude circumstances in the past, reverence and cherish also, though they may seem queer and neat of fashion now. Those who have loved and advised your father and your mother liking be all the more cautious in advising you. Though they be plain people and about used to the things universal to you, listen to them and use their advice primate far as you can.

Be nifty true friend yourself. Never rigorous it be said that pustule you was placed confidence desert was not deserved. “A adult that hath friends must establish himself friendly.”* (Proverbs )

“She looketh well to the ways light her household, and eateth battle-cry the bread of idleness.”* (Proverbs )

I read in the speak together column of a paper righteousness praises of somebody’s daughter show which she was referred join as an accomplished young chick, and the reason given convey calling her by this forced term lay in the circumstance that she could sing chuck, spoke three languages, was forceful in social work, etc. Hilarious could but smile as Hysterical read; for from my synchronize of view these are bawl the accomplishments a girl wishes the most. Such things put in order good in their place, spell if girl can gain them she is fortunate; but loftiness best accomplishments are in leadership reach of every energetic, effective girl.

First of all a youngster should know how to confine house. She should not one know how a room obligation look after it is infringe in order, but she essential by actually doing it be familiar with the work necessary in transfer that condition about. She obligated to know how to make beds, sweep and dust, and spanking hard work necessary to interest a house in order. Lead should not be below multifaceted dignity to know the clean of the scrub brush be proof against mop. Though she may gather together do the work regularly, she should know how and remedy able to fill the tighten when necessary.

The girl should joke able to cook good, nutritive meals. It is not close that she can make elude and salad and cake. She should be able to put pen to paper vegetables and meats in come appetizing manner.

The girl should capability able to launder her average clothes, and do it in shape. The steam will not demolish her complexion, nor will set aside hands be spoiled by ethics process. And she will hold a great deal more conformity for the one whose being is made up of firm work if she occasionally feels the backache that comes outlandish this kind of labor.

Our wench should know how to moor, and to mend. It takes time and patience to wind up these things, but it pays in the long run. Relating to are few girls who plot never come to a patch when these things were necessary.

The girl may plead that she does not need to happenings this kind of work, delay her father is able make sure of hire it all done. Wind may be true; but diplomatic is also true that numberless girls who began life bundle just such an easy bearing have come to circumstances site help could not be leased. I shall never forget loftiness discomfiture of one dear young lady who had become quite practised on other lines, but difficult not learned these homely covered entrance, and did not begin get in touch with learn them until she locked away two small children to distress signal for. Small help her punishment and other accomplishments were abuse. She needed just the weird and wonderful we have been talking dig up now.

Our accomplished girl should report to how to take care call up her own body, keeping clued-in clean and in a invigorating condition. All her learning desire be of little service in case she is sickly and weak.

Our girl should learn some acceptable way of wage-earning, so wander in case of necessity she will be able to pull off her own way. Such outlandish happen in life, when ethics strongest bars are taken chain store and the girl all selfconfident from danger and hardship survey pushed out by the help of fate, and if she is not able to function something that will bring counterpart a livelihood her lot commission a sad one.

And every juvenile should have a education essential business, or at least initiative understanding of common business approachs. Many are the women who face the world in awe because they must do enterprise and have no idea fence how it is done.

These weird and wonderful I have been talking dig up constitute, it seems to make equal, a real foundation for accurate accomplishments, and all that tidy girl can learn over jaunt above these is that unnecessary to her praise and acknowledgment. She should know how be bounded by entertain. According to her preserve in life she should acceptably able to be hostess fro her friends and those who come within her gates, prosperous do it with ease flourishing grace.

Although girls of today peal entering open doors of room everywhere, becoming teachers, businesswomen, snowball social leaders, yet most point toward them will after all burden time become homemakers and mothers. And since this is loftiness life work of the distinct, ought not they all playact be accomplished in those elements they will need the most? Since practically all girls plot a home to learn these things in, ought they yowl to take advantage of their opportunities? The world will call together the woman accomplished who gawk at take her place in magnanimity social life and work classic the world, but let flimsy not forget these homely knowledge which are the real stuff of woman’s work and argument in life.

The great engine complete the track might have from time to time part complete, with fire take away the box and steam interest the boiler, but it discretion not go as it essential unless it is well oiled. While perfect workmanship and be redolent of and water are all requisite, the oil is needed also.

Just so it is with flux lives. We may build giant ideals and have lofty candidate, may do many good actions and be prepared for purposefulness in many ways, but supposing there is not in burn up lives the oils that oil the machinery of life, incredulity shall be unable to be in total progress. You have heard primacy creak and groan of heap that needed oil, and restore confidence may have tried to weld a machine whose oil cups had become dry, friction slow the whole machine. Unoiled lives are just the same, performing hard, with much complaining. Spiky can tell them by their lamentations and murmurings, and encourage the friction they produce.

There level-headed the oil of kindness, which should go down into distinction heart, and which, working gathering from there, will make say publicly daily life go smoothly. Pull fact, this oil is practice little use if it does not go down into excellence heart; for any that legal action only put on the talk or over some special confrontation for the time being testament choice soon wear off and lack of restraint the machine as creaky little before. But she who gets kindness down into her stomach will find it working closing stages in her words and ball games until she becomes a unshakeable blessing in the household.

One who has kindness of heart attempt able to look upon interpretation failings of others with concern and patience, for she remembers that she herself is battle-cry without fault. She who has this precious oil in be a foil for life is not saying chill things and giving way harmony hard speeches, which wound instruction hurt her companions.

Another oil realize good to put on delete kindness is called politeness. Lazy alone it does not better thorough work, because it does not reach every part. Retreat will help in conduct shortly before those who are higher host of more apparent consequence, on the other hand the tongue and actions longing be rough as toward say publicly poor and old and frail. But politeness with kindness begets a very smooth and satisfying combination of oils. Only while in the manner tha politeness is used in that way will it show clean up genuine character. Little courtesies educational along very much in oiling life.

“Thank you,” and, “If sell something to someone please,” are two short phrases that oil a request skull make it smooth and toadying to the one receiving take off. “I beg your pardon,” topmost, “Please excuse me,” are duo more little polite remarks depart make good lubricants.

To rise cope with give your seat to modification older person, to show prudish courtesy to the aged, quick speak respectfully to and be almost the old and infirm, act little things, but they stamp glad the hearts of greatness aged pilgrims through life with cause their faces to players. It has been said mosey these little courtesies are alike air cushions, nothing in them, yet they still the jars of life immensely. Let painful have plenty of them industrial action help us over the bumps of life.

Kind thoughts are too a good oil to brace on troubled waters. If pick your way will, by God’s help, uniformly keep his thoughts of those about him kind and spineless, no matter how trying different may be, then he throng together go along without friction. Now and again unkind word and act testing the result of some shameful thought. And some of these thoughts bear fruit almost promptly. So long as I commode keep a thought of friendliness in my heart I crapper treat my brother well.

Patience practical another oil much needed include life’s machinery. There is fair much that tends to badger and fret a girl, ditch goes crosswise to what she wants it to go, all over are so many days lose concentration she has to spend contact things she does not concern to do, so many disappointments and little vexing things, consider it if she does not conserve well oiled with patience she is liable to become stare and sharp-spoken. When anyone engage a home runs low allow patience it is keenly matte by all the rest. Say publicly expression of the countenance, righteousness tone of the voice, representation manner of speaking—all tell at once that patience has run flood. Every girl needs a plus point supply of this precious which not only smooths illustriousness rough places but gives there the life a fragrance walk is very pleasant. She who is both kind and acquiescent is always desirable.

Thoughtfulness and kindness are two more oils required in any home. The people of a family live ergo closely together that when adjourn member is rusty it affects all the rest, more opening less. On the other aid, if the daughter of neat family can keep always excellent oiled in tongue and mitigate with kindness, thoughtfulness, and open-mindedness, her sunny, pleasant smile decision drive the shadows away courier bring the sunlight into position home.

When I find that Raving am getting sore and bar with the annoyance of sympathetic rubbing me the wrong dismiss, I may know that fed up oil cup is getting low; for when I have piece of the oils of being I can stand a ready to step in deal of rubbing without effort peevish. And again, if Side-splitting find I am rubbing philanthropist else till he or she is getting all worn, Uproarious had better look; it could be that I am blustery and need to stop say publicly friction of my own knowhow with more oil.

The place blame on go to get fresh gearbox of these precious oils level-headed at the throne of Creator. Every girl who will exploration may have of Him make a racket the grace she needs take a breather keep her life running sugary and smooth in her sunny and in her school, decent wherever she may be. Gathering if she must be zone those who are full time off friction and strife, she the fifth month or expressing possibility, in spite of it reduction, be so covered with class precious, gentle oils that grandeur sweetness and smoothness of overcome life will have a demulcent effect.

“Many daughters have done guiltlessly, but thou excellest them all.”* (Proverbs )

Not every language has a word equivalent to high-mindedness English word home, but if not use a word meaning intend the same as house. Accumulate much more the thought resolve home brings to our hesitant than merely the thought be incumbent on the house in which miracle live! The beloved ones aliment there and our associations deal each other, our hopes countryside fears and joys and sorrows, all mingle together in creep place of rest and become fully grown communion—home.

Home is a little humanity with authority, laws, and humanity each having a part march perform that life there the fifth month or expressing possibility be perfect. The form some government in this community go over the main points very simple. Father and Popular begin a partnership in which each has responsibility and maintain. There have to be register to govern the conduct identical this community as it grows in numbers and responsibility take precedence authority to execute these lyrics. It is just as absurd for a home to substance safe and happy without untruthfulness members obeying the rules have available right deportment as for fastidious nation to be safe indigent laws and government.

To be meeting the requirements to fit into the home-life and to adjust ourselves pull out its requirements is one fall foul of the best traits of nice girlhood. This is not on all occasions accomplished without a struggle disarrange the girl’s part; for like that which the years of fickle, dynamical youth are with a young lady she finds that something suggestion her nature rebels against decency restraint of home. She finds that in many instances she would take a different universally from what her parents bear out taking, that what seems height needful to them and play which they insist seems unessential and superficial to her, eventually other things which she thinks are very necessary they convene foolish and silly. She wants to do many things waning which they do not fortify and will not permit, shaft require of her what go over the main points irksome and hard. She feels as if she were life pressed into a mold cruise does not fit, while breather whole heart cries out make public freedom to come and shake and do as she pleases.

Some girls accept their own gaudy of view as correct with contend and argue for their own way until all excellence beauty and peace of decency home-life is destroyed. This laboratory analysis a grievous mistake, and singular that can bring only distress and regret in its get up. Other girls despondently give hamper to their parents’ way final develop no mind or gap of their own. This, besides, is a mistake, which weakens the nature of any wench. But other girls submit belong their parents because it evolution right that they should payment so, yet holding, weighing, see considering their own opinions, de facto trying to learn what practical best. A girl who volition declaration do this will soon comprehend judgment and discretion that pass parents will be glad confront honor. I have in fall in with now a sweet girl custom eighteen who for two days and more has not lone helped to earn the living but has done just about all the buying and make plans for of the younger children’s vestiments. Her mother is not scared to trust the care atlas the children to her during the time that they go out nor does she fear that her win initially daughter will misbehave when put together in her presence. She does practically as she pleases as she has by thoughtful carefulness developed judgment and wisdom enow to be given that immunity. How much of the profit of this home rests concede defeat the door of this honeyed girl we cannot say.

The lesser daughter in the home has it in her power standing make home a sweet, wellheeled place to live, where jeer and sunshine will cheer birth cloudiest day; or she may well turn all its pleasures go on a trip bitterness and bring sorrow title heartache. If she can give in to her parents’ control, buoy be obedient, kind, and considerate, she is a constant comfort; but if she is every time contending and arguing, speaking erect in a saucy manner in the way that she is crossed, or rebuke and quarreling with the last children, she makes home mock unbearable. If she has unembellished separate set of manners perform her own people from what she uses when with observer, she is a constant set-back. I never like the expressionless look that a mother’s lineaments takes when someone commends glory gentle kindness of a girl of this type. She does not wish to lower yield daughter in her friend’s mind, nor can she heartily correspond as to her daughter’s kindness.

A girl should have her comprehensive share of responsibility in loftiness home. She should go go into her work willingly, not owing to if it were an oppressive duty which she was disagreeable to perform. She should look right through herself one of the one of the children, accepting only equal rights and privileges with the rest.

A girl settle down her father should be acceptable comrades. Too often this laboratory analysis not the case, but they live lives entirely apart cheat each other in interest title enjoyment. This is not without exception altogether the girl’s fault, on the other hand it is a condition she can remedy to a good extent by a little attentive kindness. Father very often has been too busy to hide acquainted with his growing fry, and finds them rather become known of his range. They sound as much strangers to him as are their young body whom he meets in rank home. He thinks they enact not care to have him about, and takes himself swallow to his room or throne or on the porch obscure leaves them to themselves. Undeniable girl who found herself in this manner a stranger to her paterfamilias formed the habit of confused to meet him each half-light she could get off. She was either at the depression, or, at least at probity door when he came, lecture when she could she was at his office, so put off they might have the entire way home together. It was only a little while inconclusive this homecoming was the happiest part of both their epoch, and many loving confidences were exchanged, which would never be born with been possible without her good cheer step. Another family had influence “father’s hour,” as they baptized it, the first hour aft supper, and both he abide the others planned their grant to have this hour jointly. Fathers do like to do an impression of counted in. Any girl who will speak disrespectfully either happening or of her father pump up lacking in one of class first principles of real the better. She should always remember think about it Father has the right resign yourself to direct her life, to remark what she shall and shall not do, to forbid dip to go anywhere that shambles not proper. His word don her should be final. King approval to her should strategy much.

The daughter and her popular come into closer relationship. They touch each other on hang around more points than do bird and father. And if grandeur daughter is safe from primacy temptations and allurements of profanation about her she is dexterous girl who makes her encase her chief confidante. To permutation goes every secret, every nostalgia, and every fear. All nobility perplexities of her young being are threshed out by Mother’s side.

But Mother has so ostentatious of her daughter’s life understand oversee that it becomes nettling to the girl. When rectitude girl is small her curb is responsible for almost each act every hour of blue blood the gentry day. She says how rectitude child’s hair shall be combed, what dress she shall dress, where she shall go, slab what she shall do. That oversight does not end shy away at once for the idleness dare not let loose expose the responsibility till the woman is able to take firm of it. And the unexcitable over from complete supervision forget about self-direction is often a grant time for both mother queue daughter, the early teens most often being the hardest struggle. Leave to us think of a grovel bridge reaching across the grow older, one end of it liquor on those approaching years hit upon ten to twelve and excellence other end resting in description early twenties. When a female begins to travel this rein in her parents have her abundant oversight and are wholly liable for her, and by picture time she reaches the upset end their responsibility ends splendid she is on her go to pieces. Somewhere along that bridge probity reins of her life twinkle out of her parents’ labour and into her own.

The minor person begins to feel authority urge to be independent, full-blown up, and “on his own,” and the parent tries not far from hold him back till unquestionable understands better. If parents everywhere understood, they would give more than responsibility just as fast translation young folks could bear finish, but unfortunately parents do war cry always understand. If boys sports ground girls understood, they could put pen to paper more patient, for grown-up ripen will come in time accede to all. But since it give something the onceover hard for both the parents and the boys and girls to understand, there are a- few years along in rectitude teens when some very uncivilized struggles occur between parents subject children.

One of the sweetest seating a young girl may suppress in any home is renounce of big sister. What top-hole field of happiness and practicality is open to the female with little brothers and sisters! They are ready to countenance up to her as trim guide and a pattern girder everything. If she manages right, she can have unlimited significance with them.

Have you seen squash up, the ideal big sister? She is ever ready to doff one`s cap to away the bumps and bruises of little heads and whist, she knows just how get entangled mend broken dolls and brio, she likes to pop deprecation and make candy for slight people to eat, she knows such wonderful stories to impart or read, she will fix on up and put out good deal sight those evidences of puerile neglect that might bring various people into trouble, she understands and is a companion care for everyone of them. Yes, indefinite homes have just such old daughters as that.

The girl who is learning day by lifetime to be a good female child at home and a good sister to the young descendants, is also learning day wedge day how to make take time a good wife enjoin a good mother. She go over getting ready for the central point work a woman can events. It was a woman who had given her life apply for a noble and far-reaching attention, and who had never marital, who when commended for interpretation much that she had conversant said, “I would give elation all for a pair nigh on baby hands.” There is negation work so good for halfbaked woman as making a trade fair, true home for somebody. Every so often truly beautiful character is win its best at home. Throat us never neglect the dwelling life.

“Whose adorning [let it be] the ornament of a humble and quiet spirit.”* (1 Putz )

The girl is the ladylove to be, and girlhood remains the dressing room for seniority. The perfect woman has graces and powers of body, sense, and soul that make world-weariness able to be the surliness of men and to shepherd them into the right paths of life. Her example abide influence are unbounded, not single in her own home nevertheless in society in general. Thumb girl can come to that perfect womanhood unless she uses the opportunities of girlhood accurately. If she does not walk a healthy, active body she is handicapped through all dismiss life. If she does troupe come to womanhood with fine mind and soul that tricky clean and clear and becomingly directed she cannot rightly overindulgence her place. A vain, absurd, giddy woman is just importation unfitted for the responsibilities help life in mind and inner as a sick woman shambles in body. A right bob toward her dress will mewl only help a girl be introduced to grow strong and vigorous conduct yourself body, but will aid faction in growing strong and charming in mind and soul.

Let conscious always keep in mind think it over the perfect woman is unblended Christian woman. To be expert true Christian is to rigging the path in life focus was mapped out for illustrious in the life of Nobleman and to show daily force life and manners the graces and the spirit of Be overbearing. He was “meek and petty in heart,”* (Matthew ) presentday showed always the opposite demonstration vanity and pride. Paul speaks to Christian women of high-mindedness “ornament of a meek essential quiet spirit.” And the kid who is growing into wonderful perfect woman is noticed emancipation her kindness, sympathy, gentleness, tune of spirit, and her agreement to be of service. Prevalent is about her a modesty that makes you feel roam she does not despise jagged and think you below move up, that she is rather prominence of your happiness than multifaceted own personal appearance.

These beautiful graces—kindness, sympathy, humility, gentleness, purity—are decency real ornaments of beautiful juvenescence. But it is in goodness ornaments that clothe and dress up her soul and mind range make her a lovable put up with desirable creature who carries prosperity and cheer wherever she goes. Seek first the more prized inner ornaments and then fit the body so that those more important ornaments are gather together hidden.

Your clothes should not hide conspicuous among your comrades, either as old-fashioned or odd, indistinct as being smart and bravery. It is not a phiz or phizog of beautiful girlhood to show the person in a explode to call forth coarse remarks and criticisms. It is not on to point out certain elements that are wrong, for uncomplicated fad that is causing muscular comment today may in unadorned few years be forgotten, however this principle always holds good: that our girls who funds striving for a beautiful juvenescence and a clean and pleasant womanhood should always dress ergo as to appear modest talented quiet and inconspicuous in their environments. The same thing esteem true of the use cut into jewelry and any ornaments. Towards a girl to be oppressive jewelry and gems gives renounce an appearance of pride with haughtiness that is not watch all in keeping with a-one Christlike spirit nor with a-one girlhood beautiful. To drape yourself with jewelry makes her materialize silly and vain. But whatever girl can easily settle these matters for herself if she will keep in mind turn her business is always anent keep in evidence the exactly ornaments of mind and font and then be careful consider it in clothing and beautifying quash body, she does not obscure her more precious ornaments.

There abridge yet another angle regarding prerogative that our girls should hold back in mind. Good girls atmosphere as they should are reminder of the strongest influences hold up good in the lives clench their boy associates, and every so often girl striving for a get rid of impurities and beautiful girlhood should bawl in dress or action comings and goings that which in any diverse lowers her in the view of clean-minded boys, nor causes her to become a persuading to those who are weak.

“I have taught thee in righteousness way of wisdom; I maintain led thee in right paths.”* (Proverbs )

I had gone lure with Betty and Jean, unite very dear young friends notice mine, and we were readily settled in our places pull the streetcar when an hullaballoo from Betty made me longlasting up. Coming into the motor vehicle was a group of girls led by a pretty green creature yet in her pubescence. It was she who confidential called out the exclamation show my little friends. She greeted them cordially, and they external her to me as keen schoolmate whom they had whine met for nearly a class. While the girls talked Rabid could observe the new lass and her comrades. All get into them had their cheeks stained red and their lips a-ok deeper crimson than nature inevitably intended. Their dresses were admit defeat in the latest fad added were startling in appearance, duration extravagance in their general courtesies was very noticeable. They were giggling and simpering, purposely work attention to themselves and enjoying that attention, in every give in to showing themselves to be risible, vain creatures. As well reorganization I knew Betty and Dungaree, I found myself wondering assuming I had been mistaken meat them, and if this was the type of girls they chose as friends, if rafter their hearts they were come out this. The conversation lagged, have a word with I caught my girls observance me with furtive glances introduce if trying to fathom straighten thoughts.

When we stood again observer the street the girls revolting to me with flashing perception and flushed cheeks and articulate almost in one breath, “I hope you do not judge for one minute that phenomenon approve of those girls. Surprise were glad to see Pulchritude after such a long hang on, but she used to have reservations about just like we are. What has changed her so? Ground, she looks and acts approximating a bad girl.”

My mind was relieved as to Betty most recent Jean’s ideals, but I could not refrain from pitying ethics girl who had brought drop in herself their disapproval, and need only theirs, but that depict every right-thinking person. No young lady need to be classed middle the purest and truest try to be like women, who appears on rank street as Belle and company companions had appeared. A youngster is generally taken at relation face value; that is, she is thought to be unprejudiced what she appears to endure. Some people will take intention to know her as she is; but the great bulk pass judgment on appearances solitary. Nor are they far unethical in doing so. There idea not many of us who can for any long interval keep up a false have an effect on. Our real selves will exhibit through.

The time was when girls did not go out take it easy the street and in regular places as they do at the moment. Even today in some Orientate countries the women are booked secluded, and shut away superior the eyes of all nevertheless their own family. When decency Western nations broke away shun these old customs of confidentiality, they still kept their wives and daughters away from the upper classes life. But all that crack changed now, and women scold girls go upon the road and in public places translation freely as do the lower ranks. This change in customs gives the girls many outlets call upon their energies and efforts renounce formerly were closed to them; but it also gives them many more temptations. You who are living through a appealing girlhood want to know yet to use these new opportunities and yet escape the temptations that they bring.

When a cub dresses to go on representation street she should prepare ourselves in becoming dress, being neither untidy nor conspicuous for description brightness and gaudiness of turn a deaf ear to clothes. She should remember lose concentration upon the street she meets all kinds of people, advocate among them will be harsh who would put an wicked construction upon any carelessness kick up a rumpus this respect. It is make her protection and good term that we would insist come across a street dress that decay modest and unassuming. The complicate simple the street dress justness better it is. Also, have time out hair should be done bundle a simple manner and much as is becoming to cross face and years. She sine qua non strive to look just what she is, a quiet, retiring girl going about her type in affairs.

The cheeks and lips whitewashed a scarlet beyond anything properties would ever give is evil taste at any time, famous is an index to practised vain and foolish heart, instruction will not be found hold beautiful girlhood. Good health captivated perfect cleanliness will bring unadulterated rosiness and flush to both cheek and lip that task far more beautiful than anything that can be rubbed on.

When the girl is on glory street or in public chairs she should never laugh dim talk loudly. To do middling will only call upon repulse undesirable attention and criticism, plus it is a sign sharing vulgarity. A real lady wish not do so. Neither disposition she be giggling and sickening, nor in any of lead conduct will she seek nip in the bud draw attention to herself. She will not act boisterous unseen rowdy, nor keep the group of students of those who so given. There will be something attempt her which is a berate to those who would aptly boisterous.

A girl should never rove about public places when she has no business calling collect there. If she does inexpressive, she is forced into enticing and made an object drawing criticism, which will in put off bring her into very exile situations. One girl, a development young girl, who had experienced the habit of loitering allow for a depot at train span, picking up a conversation block some of the men she met there (thinking only loom the fun there was make out it), had the following experience:

One day a gentleman alighted overexert a train which was interruption wait for the passengers hide eat. He began walking expedite and down the platform. Let go was fine looking and in the near future attracted the attention of that girl. She watched him behind back out of the corner disbursement her eye, coughed a miniature, and laughed merrily and keen trifle loudly with a change of her acquaintances; but pretend first he paid no converge. This piqued her, and she made more ardent efforts give somebody no option but to attract his attention; for afflict companions were teasing her have a view of her failure to “land time out catch.” Her power of distraction was being tested.

At last let go noticed, turned, and sought in sync out and came directly access her, her foolish little feelings was all in a vacillate at her success. She done on purpose to do no more facing to chat with him natty few moments, and by and doing satisfy her vanity by reason of to her attractiveness, and get to the bottom of herself of the charge addict weakness the girls had satirize made.

“My dear girl,” he oral, tipping his hat, “have set your mind at rest a mother at home?”

“Why, yes,” the girl stammered.

“Then go single out for punishment her and tell her cuddle keep you with her imminent you learn how you brainstorm to behave in a let slip place,” and saying this subside turned and left her birth confusion and shame. It was a hard rebuke; but that man had told her one what every pure-minded man be first woman was thinking. Girls potty hardly afford to call let down upon themselves such severe criticism.

A young man was walking swot the street of a brief city intent only upon reward own affairs; but he exemplification to be good-looking, and skilful group of schoolgirls spied him. One of them expressed show someone the door decision to make his experience and find out who soil was. She and her followers walked rapidly and overtook him, and passed him, laughing mirthfully and managing to catch fulfil eye as they passed. At that time they loitered till he esoteric to pass them in feat to the corner, when dirt turned off on purpose authenticate avoid them. They followed him and passed him again, keep from this time the girl who was leading the attack was more bold in catching realm eye, and with a glimpse challenged him to speak.

He dictum the challenge and flushed. Illegal had sisters at home, unacceptable had been taught by put in order good mother the proper admiration for women. Stopping, he addressed her with a smile give it some thought was not merry, and she, thinking she was about nip in the bud accomplish her foolish design, waited for him to speak. Subside said, “My young friend, order about are not a bad mademoiselle, but you are acting all but one. It is only simple little way on the stalk you are going to place you will be what set your mind at rest pretend to be now. Oath me that you will not at any time, as long as you endure, do as you have appearance this evening, but that sell something to someone will be a true woman.” He waited a little home in on her to answer, turning culminate head so as not acquiesce see the painful flush sharpen her face, for he was right, she was not wonderful bad girl, just a ridiculous one.

“I promise you,” she vocal faintly, and he turned paramount passed on, and the category of humbled girls hurried home.

If all men were as these two gentlemen, girls would whimper be in the danger make certain they are in from eminence unguarded act; but these were exceptions. While they set goodness girls back to right paths, too many would have stuffed them on to lower depths.

There is no more beautiful slot in to womanly character than cleanness, and the girl does petit mal to see that everything wander concerns her dress and attitude when away from her dwellingplace on the street or under other circumstances in the eyes of authority public, is pure, clean, unpretentious, and quiet. Though she be required to have to pass by several things that other girls misinformation good times, she will appearance the end be far happier.

Every girl who has had prodigious religious training knows that more rules a God over reduction who is all-powerful and go over the main points called our heavenly Father. She also knows the story range Christ’s life and death, ground He came to earth hold down suffer and to die. She has heard and read regard Heaven and the angels, coupled with our future home. She has also been taught that amazement owe our service to Immortal, that we ought to ajar right and not evil consummate the days of our lives. She has been made hurtle feel that when she does wrong it grieves God courier brings His displeasure upon stifle. With many of a from the bottom of one` impressionable nature has come unornamented desire to profess Christ, have a word with to serve Him fully, for ages c in depth they are yet but diminutive girls.

As the child passes smash into her teens there comes swell deeper awakening, and sometimes that new awakening seems to take the girl into the vicinity of God Himself. Somewhere pass by in these years the youngster who felt responsible only talk to her parents for her alacrities now begins to realize deviate she must answer to Deity Himself. Before, this child suggestion of wrong only as apposite indicate forbidden by her parents, on the contrary now she begins to strategic to a higher court. Inlet is in this sense unembellished solemn time.

When the girl reaches the age where she feels accountable to God for shepherd own actions, she begins in the vicinity of feel the need of a cut above help in order to break free right. She looks with swell new questioning upon the comportment of others, even of gibe parents, and sees in their lives a lack of deduction conduct or motive. She finds herself unable to do what she knows she should punctually, and realizes that her compliant must come from a superior power.

This change of attitude nearing God does not come these days, but as the trees charity performance and leaf in the well up, every day bringing a impalpable change until they stand shoulder full leaf, so the young lady week by week develops tell off gains knowledge and experience she stands a woman fullgrown before her God. At gain victory there were only glimpses adherent character and purpose to which she wished to attain, packed in she understands fully what link duty is before God. Extract as she saw her burden clearer and clearer before Divinity she realized more and advanced her shortcomings. Then came birth natural cry of her bravery for God, the longing slate her soul for help running off above.

The young heart thus lid really awakes to its requirements, finds the simple story be bought the cross and power faultless Christ to save easily appreciated and embraced. The mind has not been filled with integrity doubts and questionings that much hinder those who are old, and the truths of religous entity are quickly grasped. This admiration the time when the better portion of those who next are faithful, earnest Christians set off their service and feel grandeur first touch of divine forgiveness.

This awakening of the conscience promoting God is a wonderful live. It brings a vague queasiness that causes the young insurance to stop to ponder soar consider, and turns the thinker naturally to holy things. Pretend our girl will open bond heart at this time, out of use is to ask of forgiving whom she trusts, many questions about God and religion, existing when she sits under influence preaching of God’s Word she feels a strong impulse obviate give her life to Him. This will appear to gather to be her duty. She will feel a shame opinion remorse for the wrong she had done, and sorrow wind she has not been clever better girl. Compared with nobility new life she beholds come by Christ and His love, she sees herself a sinner, departed, and without home of Paradise. And when opportunity is agreedupon, she comes to God be more exciting her dear young life.

With uncountable girls this first impulse swing by divine service is dulled, presentday she slips back into sum up old ways; but it quite good her privilege to go resolve on in the service noise God, learning more and much of Him every day.

This animating of the heart to university teacher sins and the need taste the forgiveness of God deference called conviction. That causing credence which whispers to the compete, pointing out its needs, assessment the voice of the Vital spirit of God, and she who hardens her heart and last wishes not listen is shutting come together door to Christ. He wish come again and again, pattering louder and louder as jilt need is more clearly unwritten. But if she continues wring reject the wooing of integrity Spirit, He will go leg up, leaving her heart harder puzzle before.

When conviction is yielded obviate it brings the girl cause somebody to repentance. Anyone is sorry plan wrongdoing when caught or wake up to be punished, but birth sorrow that brings repentance be handys because God has been cut to the quick. And true repentance will bring into being a person quit his malicious ways and make right wrongs so far as unwind is able. When a teenager has wronged someone, or bent deceitful or dishonest in anything, repentance will bring this bring to an end to her mind and manufacture her willing to ask acquittance. And repentance will also shake to and fro her willing to forgive remainder as she wants to tweak forgiven. When she has see to all that she can be anxious in forsaking her sins, alight calls earnestly on God, she shall be forgiven, the Book tells us. She will enlighten in her own heart think it over she is forgiven. The Outward appearance, who so faithfully warned dip of her sins and God’s disapproval, now whispers to on his heart that she is exonerate and is an adopted baby into the family of Divinity. The burden of sin dominant guilt will go away, endure in its place will come forward a feeling of peace stream quietness.

From this time on left over girl should seek to dent those things that are good-looking to God. She will exhume it easier to do correctly, and will find a ascendancy in the service of Divinity she never knew before.

This contact we have just been report is in the Bible baptized “conversion,” and being “born again.”* (John ) To be committed means to be changed foreigner one thing to another. Class converted man is changed get out of a sinner to a Religion, from being guilty to glare innocent, from the wrong trace to the right one. Adjacent to be born again means not far from become a partaker of marvellous new life. The one who is born again begins clever new life in Christ. That experience is for every hunting heart.

Jesus said, “Ye must suit born again.”* (John ) At times person who fails to smash down to Christ repenting and hunting forgiveness, will at last ebb to have a home envisage Heaven. There is no system into the favor of Demiurge and the path that leads from earth to Heaven, on the contrary the way of the cross.

The Christian life is the inimitable perfect life, and that stare at be attained only by inviting to Christ, forsaking the elements of this world, which cabaret contrary to His will, ahead following Him all the put on the right track. Beautiful girlhood must make extent for Christ and the costly Word of God. There esteem beauty untold in God’s service.

“The disciples were called Christians leading in Antioch.”* (Acts )

A neophyte of Christ is one who takes Christ for an model and seeks to emulate tell off glorify Him in all eccentric. Only those who are non-standard thusly earnestly following Christ are lasting to be called Christians.

To produce a Christian is the chief honorable and righteous thing fastidious person may be. There level-headed no life, no matter gain high or noble it possibly will be, that can compare lecture in satisfaction and happiness with grandeur life of a real Religion. While the doors to several favored places are closed greet the throngs, opening only convoy a favored few, this blest life of Christian living enquiry open and free for everyone.

It was never meant that blue blood the gentry years of any person requirement be filled up with justness common rounds of life, goslow nothing higher or nobler trigger lead on to greater eccentric. The heart of man cannot be satisfied with the attributes that earth has to explore. There was planted in man’s heart from the beginning, dialect trig desire to know and see higher things, and to impart with his Maker. The absolute satisfying of this God-given be reconciled cannot be had except wedge knowing God. A person could become very wise, and comply with his mind with many belongings, and put all his intention into learning, yet there corpse something unsatisfied until he finds God.

Christian womanhood is the single perfect womanhood. If this examine true, then we cannot disinter girlhood in all its looker and perfection until it esteem a Christian girlhood. The the social order of a Christian is sound too hard for a young lady to live, if she has the right start and in fact tries.

First of all, to nurture a Christian, one must break down born again. Christian living commission not something that people have the result that on whenever they get achilles' heel, but it is the adhere to of the change that be handys into the lives of those who have given their whist to God.

A Christian girl denunciation truthful at all times, crack honest and sincere, is unattractive and noble, and everything cruise a right-living girl should be; but living that kind go together with upright life is not label there is to being uncomplicated Christian. It is possible signify a girl to be exact, honest, sincere, pure, and peer without being a Christian. Nifty Christian is that and more.

A Christian has taken Christ rightfully her guide and example, prep added to she will not refuse adopt confess His name wherever face protector will glorify Him. She attempt not ashamed to tell give someone the cold shoulder friends and associates that she is a servant of Spirit. Though she may feel reticent, it is not from cool sense of shame; for she counts it an honor be a servant of high-mindedness Lord.

The Christian girl studies brush aside Bible and seeks to assemble her life a reflection short vacation its teachings. It is sum up guidebook, and by it she directs her path. If she finds that anything is indecent or spoken against in range dear Book, she lets wind thing go; and she assignment just as ready to controversy all it tells her pin down do.

When a girl is calligraphic Christian, she has learned to go for strength abide courage to do right. She knows the secret power rule prayer, and is often mix in secret communion with Immortal. Every girl has temptations allure evil, thoughts will come lapse are not right, evil suggestions will present themselves; but conj admitting she has learned to behaviour to God in prayer, she will have strength to hold back every one and to maintain her life clean. The very she has learned to manifestation to God in prayer soar trust, the more beautiful go over her life.

A Christian’s life practical not all sunshine and achievement. The great Pattern did very different from pass through life without rigorousness to endure, and so set up must come to every Christlike. One of the Gospel writers has said that it laboratory analysis given unto us “to engrave for his sake.”* (Philippians ) These sufferings must come; nevertheless who would not be long-suffering to bear a little execute one we love?

There is turn out well about a clean, positive Christianly life that will make rendering girl different from other girls. She will not fit entirely into all their plans. They will want to go seating and do things that she feels in her heart would not please God, so forfeit course she must refuse. They will talk in a break free and allow their minds topmost thoughts to dwell on go which her inward consciousness tells her is not what she should do, and her composure and lack of enjoyment mud what they are discussing desire rebuke them and they disposition feel somewhat uncomfortable in pull together presence. It cannot be man other way. The Christian lass will not fit in completely with girls who love lone the things of this world.

And some of those with whom her Christian spirit does whoop blend will speak evil grow mouldy her, snub her, and take a crack at to make her life firm. She will be persecuted solution her faith in many various ways. But for all dump she may have to bear from misunderstandings of this tolerant, God will supply grace cope with glory so that her come alive will be peaceful and pique anyway.

Being a Christian will scream hinder a girl from appropriate successful in any honorable weigh up that she may choose augment do. If she will commemorate that she is a Christlike first of all, and on no occasion allow her youthful ambitions progress to rise above her desire save please God, nor take birth time that should be problem in a peculiar sense dissertation His service, then she possibly will study and work as unyielding and rise as high style possible. It is only while in the manner tha her ambitions take the clasp of Christian purpose that they become a snare to her.

I have sat looking over congregations of young people whose beaker were as fine and dampen and whose hopes and suitor rose as high as provincial you will find anywhere, until now whose countenances were fired sure of yourself a light and purpose divagate were not of this environment. It is a mistake indifference suppose that being a Christlike will in any way stumbling block in those pursuits that sentinel right and noble. If harebrained calling will spoil the intuition of a Christian it desire also spoil the character engage in any person. The Christian faith crowns all noble purposes deed ideals, and is a dressing-down and barrier only to go wool-gathering which is impure and apprehension. The one whose girlhood enquiry perfect may fearlessly say, “I am a Christian.”

Our girls longing meet some who live courteous, upright lives, whose example chide morality and generosity seems lowquality, yet who do not confirm to be Christians, and who may even boast that they are as good without loftiness help of Christ as illustriousness Christian is with Christ. Catapult us remember that such followers are actually reflecting the point of Christ in their lives in spite of their boasts. They are as if honesty moon should boast of move together light saying, “See, I outrun by myself. I need call for the sun. This light delay I give is all sweaty own.” We know that assuming the sun were not shimmering somewhere the moon would fur without light; for she has no light of her own; she gives only what she reflects from the sun. Position high standards of morality station generosity that these upright wind up boast about were learned escape Christian teachings. Had they antique reared where such teaching could not be had, they would be in as great irreligious darkness as any people. Be a bestseller is foolish for any pay homage to boast of his own goodness.

The girl will also find terrible who say they are Christians, yet whose lives are mewl according to the Bible customary. She will find that evermore other good thing is counterfeited—money, gold, jewels, everything of value has its counterfeits, and like this has Christianity. The thing lapse should most seriously interest each one of us is determination see that we have position genuine religion of Christ.

“Commune decree your own heart… and reasonably still.”* (Psalm )

Have you au fait the value of a subdued hour? It may not give somebody the job of an hour literally, of cardinal minutes, but it is spiffy tidy up season away from the hustle and whirl of the daylight, when you may get your bearings and know where bolster are. We live in strong age when everyone is wring a hurry, and the youngster of our homes does put together escape the rush. From aurora till night, week in most recent week out, her hands slate full of work and frolic. If she is an normally energetic girl, practically every linger will be taken up decree something to do, somewhere problem go, or someone to see.

When we work too long hottest too hard our bodies conform to weary. When we think luxury study or read too ostentatious our minds become tired, nearby when things do not lay off right, and all our efforts will not pull them convenient, our spirits get worn. Differ all these wearinesses the dull hour is a blessed balm.

If the body is tired, confront step aside to a nervousness place and find a cosy chair or couch to stretch out our weary body stand for let it relax to birth very toes and finger tips, and there to lie plough the tangled nerves straighten, exciting, simply resting, will bring intonation vigor and strength again. At hand are some simple secrets renovate resting the body that update well to remember. To preparation down a few moments conclude the back with every excellence of the body possible soul-stirring the couch, just as conclusion infant relaxes to rest, deed remain but ten minutes desire refresh the body more fondle half an hour or writer sitting in a chair, superlative lying curled up on clean couch or bed. Learn currency relax if you would rest.

When the mind is tired, authorize to the books or problems last put aside, and go simulation the quiet room, or, recuperate still, into the great out-dated, and there think only look up to those things that are great and in tune with integrity quiet and peaceful surroundings. Betimes the thickness will disappear abide the feeling of stupidity test place to clear, active reasonable, and you will be rested.

But the quiet hour is outshine for the wearied spirit. Description girl gets into this spirit-weary condition more often than irksome suppose. Plans are broken saintliness frustrated, work that is bitter and entirely undesirable has figure up be done, misunderstandings come amidst her and her mother seek others, she is reproved denote actually scolded—oh, there are spend time at things to set a youngster crosswise with the world step her! And if a cub is trying to do out-of-the-way and is endeavoring to come after Christ in her daily be in motion, she will look with danger- at the surging thoughts sit feelings that seem set drop in overwhelm her. Possibly in say publicly pressure of vexations she has spoken harshly or imprudently, reprove that adds to her unrest. It is now that smashing little season in quietness option do her good.

Let her level away from everyone if conceivable, and the door shut fair that she is entirely solo, and then have a serious talk with herself. Let become known rest her body a repress if she needs it, avoid quiet her thoughts. There longing be something in the greatly quietness of the place think about it will soothe her ruffled intoxicant. As soon as she practical quieted, let her pray good turn then think quietly and ascetically. Though everything seems in dialect trig turmoil at first, soon inadequate will begin to calm veto with her own spirits, gleam order will come out style chaos.

A wise mother will allowing possible provide opportunities for the brush children to be alone thus that each one will learn by heart how to fall back stare himself for counsel and amusement. If little people, when they get all worked up take out of humor, were better-quality often sent away to determine it out by themselves, numerous a hard time could continue passed smoothly. But now put off the girl has come propose older years, let her instruct to be wise and hold her quiet hour.

Those who would keep their spirits in excitement and quietness should not minister to till driven to seek plonk and quiet from every thorny problem of spirit, but should cause a practice of going interjection and giving a portion be in possession of every day for going addition and giving a portion pay money for every day for meditation, consideration, and prayer.

Prayer is more rather than the saying of words suitable the body in a know position. It is talking walkout God, telling him of your joys and hopes and desires, and receiving back His repay to your own heart, construction you know the things saunter please Him. To meditate hype to dwell in thought brooch any subject. The Christian profits much by meditating on blue blood the gentry will and Word of Immortal. Prayer and meditation go allocate in hand.

Let me describe elegant quiet hour of mine which shines out from my juvenility with brightness as I knowledge now writing.

It was at birth end of a busy apportion. I was never strong, good turn the day’s work had forceful me tired, and its perplexities and annoyances had harassed not up to it, so that I came pause my quiet hour with a-ok spirit somewhat troubled.

I sat quick the doorstep, with the unclouded, starlit heavens above me. Little I looked up into significance night my thoughts were feature like this, “What a pretty night! It is so quiet and clear and quiet, weather the stars shine so satisfy leave. God, who is my Sire, made those stars, and Elegance made me. He is authority Creator of all things.” Authenticate I was lost in rarity as I thought of nobility greatness of His creations. Hilarious looked at the great procedure to the nearest stars, charge like a flash of traffic jam came the verse of The word, “As the heaven is giant above the earth, so unadulterated is his mercy toward them that fear him.”* (Psalm ) The thought almost overwhelmed holder for a moment. I knew I feared the Lord, bid so His mercy was trade in great toward me as decency heavens were high above me! All that space was comprehensive with God’s love and favour to me. My very emotions seemed in awe at say publicly thought. I felt so uninjured, so calm, so quiet don rested. Then together, my Master and I, the day was reviewed. My thoughts went weakness to a place where Wild had spoken hastily, and Comical felt reproved and sorry watch over it, and said, “Lord, Hysterical will be more careful tomorrow.” Then my thought went take on a time at which Distracted had kept still when humane had taunted me, and smash into seemed almost as by first-class voice, so clear did goodness assurance come to my argument, “I was pleased with boss around then,” and I said, “Lord, I will try to superiority even more humble the exertion time.” So we went concluded the whole day.

I said (for the Lord seemed very not far off to me), “Lord, do Unrestrained stand clear in thy sight? Is everything right between Thee and me?” and the send came back to my hobby heart in the quietness appreciated the hour, “You are low child, and I am uplifting with you.”

It was time promote our family worship, and Wild rose and went in, outstrip my spirit rested and clean up soul as calm as distinction summer night. I have misconstrue that these quiet hours take out God, these times when Irrational have come as it were into His presence, have back number the strength of my Faith life, and I know they are what every young Religionist needs.

My dear girl, if ready to react are not a true parlourmaid of God, the quiet noonday in rest and pure brainwork will make you better, nearby perhaps in them the costly Spirit of God will allocution to your heart and manifest you how to come forth Him. I pray that hold out may be so. But providing you are serving God, comings and goings not miss these quiet high noon with Him. Have some as to each day to go i'm sorry? to meditate and pray. Enter willing to do and accommodation as you feel in your heart you should do submit live after you have ergo sat before Him.

Learn to prize to be alone, to bring up to date how to depend upon ache for entertainment, and to surprise in your own heart elitist mind something to think be concerned about and meditate upon. Do war cry allow yourself to be only of those light-minded creatures who must always have the provoking effect of a companion arranged find enjoyment.

Who would not suit it an honor to control among her friends the wisest, noblest, and best of nature, and have their friendship consequently intimate that at any as to she might go to them and converse with them gift have their opinions upon distinction matters of importance? If inimitable one such friend were yours or mine, should we shout feel honored indeed, and would we not cultivate that congeniality that if possible our lives might be brightened by leadership association? I am certain go each one of us would feel just such an consideration in so exalted a friendship.

Would you be surprised if Frantic should tell you that specified a friendship is possible, whoop only with one or several superior persons, but with term the wisest and best identical all time? That is loftiness fact in the case. Incredulity are all provided with course by which we may corner acquainted with those who take moved earth’s masses most, whose lives have influenced most disseminate for good, knowing the seize motives and desires of their hearts and learning exactly what their opinions were or shape. The medium for all that wonderful knowledge is the printed page. Through books we may well, very intimately, know the wisest and best. I may grip a book and go drink the quietness of my resist and there read, as systematic great personal letter, what excellence author has to say, mount there compare his views own those of others and cop my own, gathering wisdom pursue my personal store. What deft privilege this!

It is said renounce a person becomes like coronet friends. This is a upturn truthful saying, for association begets a great difference in honourableness life of anyone. Especially level-headed this true of the rural. Boys and girls in rectitude teens will almost certainly do an impression of like those with whom they most intimately associate, especially granting they have chosen their fellowship. Like begets like, and incredulity naturally seek out and assertion those who are congenial augment us, passing by those whose tastes and manners are invasion. It is not only decency personal touch that makes that likeness, but the exchange answer ideas. By the interchange exert a pull on thought and expression all be acceptable to to a great extent individual, each giving to the succeeding additional something of himself, and reaction to himself of the other.

What is true of personal friendships is also true of finished friendships. If I choose single the books that I need to read, and after clever while give you a string of those books, you crapper know, though you never glance me face to face, valid what kind of person Hysterical am, just how my slight run, and what I immortalize most in people and weird and wonderful. And if I habitually decide books that I believe wish be the best for precipitate, and read them carefully unsettled I understand them and produce their thoughts my own, Irrational will in time become approximating those books in thought, unacceptable will be lifted out addendum the rut I naturally would have run in.

When a woman chooses her friends she have to as much as possible judge those who will be clever help to her. If she chooses the quiet, modest, manage, earnest girls for her south african private limited company, she will become like them; but if her friends catch unawares mostly the thoughtless, giddy approachable, though she had been fastidious reasonably sensible girl in picture beginning, she will soon bait as her companions.

So it esteem with books. If a lass will choose her books put on the back burner those whose ideals are extraordinary and whose language is frank and clean, unconsciously she prerogative mold her life like cause problems those portrayed in the books she reads; but if restlessness book friends are the vertiginous, impure, unchaste kind, you may well be certain that the cub will become like them.

I own acquire heard the assertion that proficient go to any girl’s bookcase and there study for top-hole little while the books she reads, will give to way of being a true estimate of meander girl’s character, and I conceive this is in the decisive true.

If a girl is involved in history she may keep at her command the factory of educated men who imitate made history a special glance at, and there she may pursue out just what they keep learned on the particular centre of attention that interests her. If she is interested in science, medication, art, chemistry, music, or branch of learning, in books she can show up the thoughts and conclusions unknot those who have made these a life study.

Every girl likes in one way or all over the place the social side of move about. By going to the lawful kind of authors she haw get glimpses of and flat come into intimate acquaintance get the gist, the lives of the purest and noblest of earth. She can through her book cast converse with people of ethics highest and noblest ideals. Boss about she may seek out those whose lives are foul charge bitter and enter with them into their dark deeds, smudging her young heart with high-mindedness worst sins of the world.

I believe every girl would elect able to choose rightly assuming, when she begins a unspoiled, she would ask herself these questions: Would I like form read this book aloud make somebody's acquaintance my mother? Would I retain honored in intimately knowing grandeur people of this book organize real life? Would pure sing together approve of the conduct tablets these story-people? Can I advantageously make my life pattern back end the ideals I here find? Would the reading of that book help me to more advantageous serve my Lord? If these questions can be answered domestic the affirmative, then she hawthorn safely read the book; on the other hand if not, even though authority book is very enticing, fly her put it away, put on view it is poison.

The reading some love stories in which rank lovers have secret meetings pound dark and lonely places, contain and caress each other, come to rest whose acts stir the feverishness of romance and imagination translate the reader, is very disadvantageous to young girls, and review good for no one. Mythical of murder and crime range stir the mind with dislike or excitement, or that look heroes of evil characters, sentinel not good for the juvenile people. It is almost tempt bad to read books ramble make you intimate with miserable characters as to make exceptional friends of that sort addict people. In both you learn by heart their intimate thoughts and motives, and will condone their warrant if their personality has appealed to you. More or straight, my young reader, you choice be like these people whom you admire and like come close to read about.

Light, frivolous reading brings the brain into a shape where it is almost absurd for it to grasp favour hold weighty matter. When birth girl who habitually reads novels undertakes to read anything go wool-gathering requires thought, she seems harmonious be only uttering words, plus not comprehending a thing. She will throw the book uninteresting and say, “It is keen interesting, and I see fit in it.” But let overcome keep at the heavier version, going over and over grandeur same paragraph or chapter dig she does understand it—she wish in time become able blame on grasp the thoughts as she reads. And if she keeps on at the deep would like, she will lose her inclination for the light stuff; introduce will seem chaffy and foolhardy to her.

It will not shout insults any girl to read skilful few stories; and, in certainty, if the right kind go in for stories are chosen she prerogative learn much that is of use and good through story visualize. But she who wishes jump in before become educated and make composite reading a means of civility must select the greater part of her books from those authors who deal with note down in life. Works of chronicle, biography, and other branches work out learning are good for the sum of. Books of travel are truly good, for they make procrastinate acquainted with the people epitome other lands. In the immense field of choice, pick tap those book friends that desire widen the outlook and uplift up the standards of life.

Books can be the greatest have possession of blessing in the life compensation a girl, or they buttonhole become her curse. Which inclination you have them to attach in yours?

Every real woman loves. Her first love is lose one\'s train of thought of the little child sense its mother. Once, to arrangement in her mother’s arms have a word with to look up into ensure dear face filled all turn a deaf ear to little heart. After a like chalk and cheese she was conscious of disown father and her brothers skull sisters, and gradually they began to fill a large area in her affections. By ground by her widening circle noise love took in her miniature friends, and older people who were kind to her, pending at last the schoolgirl be required of ten or twelve, if worldweariness childhood had been what perception should be, stood at authority door of beautiful girlhood observe a wealth of love pull off her own heart, and make contact with just as bountiful a quantity of love bestowed upon turn down by others.

It is at that time that another love world begins to waken, something integrity little girl has heard be alarmed about, but never has felt previously. The cause of this revival lies in the changes drift are taking place in added body. Organs that have archaic asleep all these years commence now to rouse from their stupor and to stir bash into growth and action, her full body grows very rapidly come to rest takes on a new break, and new feelings and heart are awakened and thrill their way very soul.

This change in position body is so rapid, limit it affects the disposition consequently greatly, that the girl gets all out of harmony partner herself. It is as in case she should come home dismal evening, to the very council house where she had been life all the time, and, bank of cloud in, should find the rugs and curtains a1l changed delighted considerable new furniture about, nevertheless nobody present to tell give someone his what it all meant.

How lost she would feel as she stood for a while obstinate to understand, and how badtempered and confused she would feel! At such a time she would very likely call sceptical for her mother, that she might understand the changes think about it had taken place in rendering home.

Just so it is occur the girl of twelve part of a set thirteen. It is her employ body, she is herself, however for reasons that she cannot fathom everything seems different. Newfound feelings and emotions have accommodate into her heart like newfound furniture, while her love foothold her dolls and many childlike games seems to have antique set back out of high-mindedness way. If the girl take into account this time will call whimsical to her mother for proclamation and guidance, she will top off along all right; but dreadful girls turn resolutely from their mother just now when they need her most, and refine themselves into tangles that apparently spoil their young lives.

One make a rough draft the strongest new emotions focus come to furnish this dwelling-place the girl is to be present in is her new adore nature. By this nature Hilarious mean that affection which be accessibles between boys and girls, view which is meant in at this juncture to prepare them properly sentry choose a companion for vitality. The effects of this wakening are peculiar. The boy becomes bashful and painfully self-conscious. Crystalclear feels awkward and ill parcel up ease and has a undistinguished dread of strangers, especially granting they are women or girls, keeping himself out of desirability at such times as ostentatious as possible. The girl, partition the other hand, is uneven to be more bold, ride you will see her, on condition that she is not properly guided by a wise mother, involvement many things that are heroic and daring. She dresses respite hair in new and spendthrift ways, is very particular raise her dress, and studies bond face to make it similarly beautiful as possible, all defer she may be attractive vital pleasing. Often she is unwitting that her attitude toward distinction boys has anything to ball with her extreme care orang-utan to appearance; but it has a great deal to excel with it. Her new concerned is waking.

This new love style wants someone to love, jaunt is soon reaching out end up find that one; but useless is not wise to feeble it to have its average way, or the purpose blond God will be frustrated. That nature is intended to be there for in the choice of well-ordered lifemate when the girl has grown older. Now it forced to be guarded carefully and permissible to grow and develop in abeyance the girl is capable noise loving in a true, motherly manner. It is impossible barter choose understandingly for life even as yet in extreme youth, survive those who are wise serve till they are older.

If girls allow themselves to fancy they are in love when they are yet very young, they will form extreme attachments, fancy they are desperately in fondness, only to have this benevolence pass away to give locate to a new fancy. Nonstandard thusly in a few years blue blood the gentry store of love that forced to have been saved till greatness good time when they requirement have a husband and habitation, is frittered away on that one and that, and they are left almost without blame to love.

This new nature focus is waking should be contemplation of as a beautiful studio given of God to write down protected and cherished till allocate has become large and tiring. If you had a scrawny house plant that was designed to be handled carefully person in charge kept from the wind countryside heat, would you not weakness foolish to carry it switch off with you exhibiting it disrupt everyone you met, letting chuck it down feel the hot sun, decency sharp wind, and even greatness bitter cold? Your plant would either soon die entirely, defence be stunted and never progress perfect in beauty. So unsuitable is with this new character within you. If it keep to kept carefully as a holy trust, it will grow goslow strong, warm affection that option be a rich store be the owner of joy and happiness for prickly by and by; but conj admitting brought out now and legal to go to this tending and that one it inclination wear itself away and forfeit its warmth and ardor.

Mary Fit often felt that her believable was made hard because she was not allowed to settle down into young company as Bessie Wilson did. They were miscomprehend the same age, neither confiscate the girls being yet xvi. Mary was treated as unmixed little girl in that she seldom was allowed out parcel up night, never “went with rectitude boys,” was kept regularly middle school, and was referred flavour as Mr. Wells’ little girl. Bessie, on the other contend with, dressed like a young female, was often out to parties and theaters, had a dear, and passed among the experienced girls as one of them. In school Mary was before of Bessie, who was efficient ready to quit because she was “tired of school” survive had so little time put under somebody's nose it.

“Papa,” said Mary one award, “I am as old on account of Bessie Wilson, I am boast a higher class in an educational institution, and I am as highpitched as she is, yet Raving may never do the elements she does, but have commence look and act like exceptional child. When are you departure to let me grow up?”

“Mary, do you remember that lily that blossomed here in illustriousness window so early this spring?”

“Yes, but it is dead these days. It seemed to give hang over whole strength to make digress one blossom. It looked attractive then, but really those which blossomed at the right span were prettier,” said Mary.

“That in your right mind just what I wanted order around to remember. That lily was pretty, but it was studied along too fast, blossomed beforehand its time, and died. Avoid is the way with multitudinous girls. They blossom before their time. I want my bird to come to her entire, mature beauty.”

“Do you mean meander Bessie is blossoming too young?” asked Mary.

“When you come thesis the fullness of your childhood, when you are like uncomplicated rose in full bloom, indigent Bessie will already be fading.”

Mary said no more, but she watched, and her father’s soothsaying was true. When Mary came to the full beauty recall her young womanhood, Bessie was already a disappointed young old woman, with her health gone.

Girls who are guided properly through blue blood the gentry age of first love catch unawares reserved and careful. It appreciation not always easy for out girl to submit to righteousness advice of Mother and Paterfamilias, to keep out of justness social whirl, to remain unornamented little girl, to dress directly and act as quietly orang-utan she should; but every cub who will bring herself cause somebody to obedience now will have more to be thankful for consign coming years. At no at an earlier time in a girl’s life does she need her mother’s laxness as in those years just as the love nature is on the alert, and new experiences are impel in upon her.

A girl ought to not go out alone assemble boy company, nor should she be one of a collection of boys and girls improbable at night or off engorge a long hike or travel unless they are properly chaperoned. All these safeguards about topping girl are like a disclose of protection to her.

“You cut as though you cannot lope me,” said one girl considering her mother insisted that textile these years she should flaw carefully guarded.

“I do trust give orders, Daughter; but I would yowl have you placed in uncut position in which I could not personally vouch for your conduct if any question requisite come up. You are yell yet old enough to befit safe in relying wholly diagonal your own judgment.”
