must be a revolution.
8. MEN HATERS.--Women who look upon all men as odious, corrupt or hateful,
are no doubt so themselves, though they may be clad in silk and sparkle
with diamonds and be as pretty as a lily; but their hypocrisy will out, and
they can never win the heart of a faithful, conscientious and well balanced
man. A good woman has broad ideas and great sympathy. She respects all men
until they are proven unworthy.
9. FOND OF CHILDREN.--The man who is naturally fond of children will make a
good husband and a good father. So it behooves the young man, to notice
children and cultivate the art of pleasing them. It will be a source of
interest, education and permanent benefit to all.
10. EXCESSIVE LUXURY.--Although the association with ladies is an expensive
luxury, yet it is not an expensive education. It elevates, refines,
sanctifies and purifies, and improves the whole man. A young man who has a
pure and genuine respect for ladies, will not only make a good husband, but
a good citizen as well.
11. MASCULINE ATTENTION.--No woman is entitled to any more attention than
her loveliness and ladylike conduct will command. Those who are most
pleasing will receive the most attention, and those who desire more should
aspire to acquire more by cultivating those graces and virtues which
ennoble woman, but no lady should lower or distort her own true ideal, or
smother and crucify her conscience, in order to please any living man. A
good man will admire a good woman, and deceptions cannot long be concealed.
Her show of dry goods or glitter of jewels cannot long cover up her
imperfections or deceptions.
12. PURITY.--Purity of purpose will solve all social problems. Let all
stand on this exalted sexual platform, and teach every man just how to
treat the female sex, and every woman how to behave towards the masculine;
and it will incomparably adorn the manners of both, make both happy in each
other, and mutually develop each other's sexuality and humanity.

Practical Rules on Table Manners.

1. Help ladies with a due appreciation; do not overload the plate of any
person you serve. Never pour gravy on a plate without permission. It spoils
the meat for some persons.
2. Never put anything by force upon any one's plate. It is extremely
ill-bred, though extremely common, to press one to eat of anything.
3. If at dinner you are requested to help any one to sauce or gravy, do n
