DONT’S FOR ENGAGED GIRLS.

DONT’S FOR ENGAGED GIRLS.

Don’t make unreasonable demands on your fiance’s time. Remember that his work must come first if he is over to earn an income sufficient for himself and his wife. So don’t be disagreeable to him if he is kept late at the office on an evening when he had promised to take you out. He will be just as annoyed about this as you are, and there is no need to make matters worse by having a scene.

Don’t forget to pay every possible attention to his people, particularly his mother and sisters. They may, perhaps, be a little jealous of you at first, and, if you are foolish enough to resent this, the situation may become very unpleasant indeed. Don’t “spoon” or quarrel in public, for, by doing so, you would place yourself in a ridiculous situation and the onlookers in an embarrassing one.

Don’t drag your fiance’s name into every conversation —it sounds silly. Don’t write affectionate postcards. If you want to be affectionate, do it in a letter, which cannot be read by anyone except the man to whom it is addressed.
