MAKE FRIENDS SLOWLY

One of the social points a girl should bear in mind, no matter what her position may be, is that there is no more objectionable situation gained than that through a girl being too free and easy in her manners and becoming acquainted too quickly. Strangers will take more liberties with one who makes herself conspicuous than with one who has reserve of manner, and while it may be a temptation to know a lot of people and considered popular, it is far better to know fewer and those of the right kind. A girl need not be afraid that because she is quiet and reserved in manner she will be a wall flower. On the contrary, she is far more likely to become a genuine favorite after a time than the girl who is conspicuous and with whom familiarity has bred contempt. ' Make haste slowly ' is the best advice in regard to forming acquaintances.
