THE PIQUANT STORY.
Don’t listen to it, girls. It may be very amusing ;■ it may cause you to laugh but when you remember it afterwards a blush will certainly come, not only over your face, but in your heart. Listening to. stories the wording of which and the meaning of which are not nice, is the first steps towards making a woman coarse and vulgar, and certainly none of you girls want to be that. Cultivate in every way the graces of a gentlewoman and refinement of feeling is certainly one of the chief ornaments of womanhood. If ever you are tempted to listen to a piquant story think for a minute if you would like to write it down and submit it to your mothor. Unless it would stand this test don’t listen to it.—Selected.
