SOME GOOD ADVICE
Don't be egotistical over any unusual talent you may possess, and never call the attention of others to your attainments. Genius is its own standard-bearer, and self-praise dims its lustre. Don't be foolish enough to repeat compliments others have paid you. It is a sure sign of self-vanity and a frivolous mind. Don't be slovenly in your dress. To be well dressed pronounces the lady and the gentleman and is the greatest recommendation to a yourog person entering. society or business.
