If at any time, Violet, questions come up in your mind as to what is the best thing for you to do, remember that mother will be glad to answer them or will help you obtain books that will explain things to you.  Do not go to your companions, for they might not understand and would give you wrong ideas.  In school we have text books and a teacher, who is older and more experienced than we, to whom we can go for help in our school problems.  We know she will tell us the right solution and we know it is better to go to her than to the other pupils.  So in this study of our bodies and the care of them, we must learn from some one older and more experienced, or we must study books that have been written for that purpose.  Then we will be sure to obtain the right ideas.

After a while, when you are grown and it is nearing the time for you to marry, I will tell you some things about the care of the baby and how you may have a good-natured, healthy child.  But now all you need to do for a number of years is to take good care of this mother nest and the rest of your body, so it will grow strong and well.

THE GIRL WANTED

BY

NIXON WATERMAN

Cheerful, friendly talks to young women, telling them how they can mould their temperaments and shape their characters to sweetest and noblest influence.

Every young woman should read this book.  Every parent should make it a point to have her read it.  Every institution dedicated to her instruction should introduce to her this beautiful book of the heart and mind.—­Boston Globe.

  There is nothing trite or juiceless in this book.  Every paragraph is
  appetizing.  A girl will be glad she has read it, and will be the better,
  the sweeter, the happier therefor.—­The Journal of Education.

  No one can resist it.  A fine book for presentation at graduation,
  either from grammar or high school.—­The World’s Chronicle.

  Will at once win the reader’s heart.  In these pages one does not rake
  among dry leaves, but rather wanders through sweet-smelling
  meadows.—­Christian Endeavor World.

Illustrated.  Beautiful cover.  Cloth, 8vo.
