TO GIRLS.
We find it very hard, almost impossible, to live always up to ourfiwn best self, and we may be quite sure our friends do too, whether they talk about it or not, and our duty as a friend is to see .their best self and help them to be it. Nothing so certainly kills love as ■ I do not believe any affection will stand it. - As a rule people do not want you - ’ to talk, they want you to listen. Sympathy will always make people think you pleasant, but the interest - must be real. Let a girl be as commonplace as possible, she will represent woman to the man who is in love with her, as surely as Beatrice represented it to Dante. Every woman, married or single, alters the opinion of some man about women.
Never give up reading and thinking. From 4 Stray Thoughts for Girls,’ by Lucy Soulsby.
