TEACH YOUR DAUGHTER.
Teach your daughter drawing, painting, music, etc., if you have enough money to allow her to keep them up, otherwise she is only wasting time in pursuing such studies, when that time might be spent ini studying something by which she could earn her living. Should she have a taste for reading, give her every opportunity, and select for her books that will give the best and most practical information on her favourite subjects. Teach her to choose her companions according to their morals and habits, not according to the amount of money they possess. Teach her to live within her income, and encourage in her the desire to save. Teach her to say “Yes” and “No” only when she means them, and that when she makes a promise she must keep it. Teach her how mean it is to gossip and talk scandal. In short, teach your daughter to be a real lady. —
