It is natural that parents should be proud of lovely daughters , but it is also true that parents of beautiful daughters have sometimes been brought very low in the scale of happiness by failure to put the gagbit of good advice and admonition into the mouths of bewitching witching daughters. Let us encourage our girls to bo beautiful in conduct , as well as in personal appearance.
