1 Don't fall right over the minute any one tries to make you sit up straight. Don't get' your hair into such a mop that no one can comib it) out without tearing it out. ' Don't smile all the time. Don't leave your eyes half open and half shut for a moment or two. That makes one feel ' creepy.' Don't— if you are jointed dolls —don't squeak. 1 Don't be proud 1 of your clothes. • • Don't spill sawdust over the carpet, and please don't ever get lost again in your own or any one else's house, 'cause you worry your mamma 'most to death.
