Cultivate Purity Of Language

Avoid slang, niy dear girls, as you would avoid any degrading habit; let your words be pure, simple and expressive - just such a form of expression as your iittle brother and sister laay imitate. Never forget that next to " inotherf" el der sisters are the chief educators of the household. It is painful to listen to mauy girls' talk. They begin with a " My goodness !" and interlard it with " oh's !" and " sakes alive !" and " so sweet!" and " so queenly !" and so many silly phrases that one is tempted to beheve they have had no training at all, or else their mothers were very fuohsh women. There is nothing more disgusting than the twaddle of ill-bred girls; one is provoked often into taking up a paper and reading, and letting them ripple and gurgle on, like brooks that flow they know not whither. My heart warma with love for sensible girls and pure boys; and alter all, if our girls and boys are not this, I fear it is our fault that this great tiust rests in the heart and hands of the women of our land. If we have a noble, i useful purpose in life, we will infuse the right spirit into those around na.
