Be interested in everything that will improve your mind and broaden your views.
Be orderly, systematic, and industrious, but do not waste time on non-essentials. Good reading is far better than useless fancy work.
Be domestic and home-loving, secure as much knowledge as possible concerning house-hold affairs, and do not be ashamed to use it.
Be athletic enough to keep in fine physical condition and just manly enough to be self-reliant and courageous, but not so independent as to forget for one moment that you are a woman.
Cultivate a liking for children and old people, for you must remember that you have been the one and will be the other if you live long enough.
Do not appear to be superior, even if you know that you are, one can easily be mistaken on this point.
Do not be conceited or vain, do not be silly or gushing, or too eager.
Do not be late and yet do not waste time in being too early; study repose of manner, it is so restful to tired nerves.
Do not nag either before or after he is won; the "I told you so" has lost many a friend and lover.
Be frank, and truthful and forgiving, and remember that forgetting must often go with forgiving. This, of course, is the ideal woman, but the standard is not too high for any girl to strive for.--Philadelphia Telegraph.
