"Don'ts" for Girls.
Don't giggle, fidget, or act rudely. Don't abuse a book of any kind by turning down corners. Don't wear rings on dirty hands. Don't neglect to have your nails trim and clean. Don't bite your nails. Don't sit while your elders stand. Don't converse loudly in a public conveyance. ... Don't wear much jewellery, especially in the street. Don't talk in an affected manner; to talk without effort is, after all, the great charm of talking. Don't 101 lat the table. Always sit upright The correct position for sitting is well back in your chair, back perfectly erect.
