ship. Don't be a flirt.

11. KISSING, FONDLING, AND CARESSING BETWEEN LOVERS.--This should never be
tolerated under any circumstances, unless there is an engagement to justify
it, and then only in a sensible and limited way. The girl who allows a
young man the privilege of kissing her or putting his arms around her waist
before engagement will at once fall in the estimation of the man she has
thus gratified and desired to please. Privileges always injure, but never
benefit.

12. IMPROPER LIBERTIES DURING COURTSHIP KILL LOVE.--Any improper liberties
which are permitted by young ladies, whether engaged or not, will change
love into sensuality, and her affections will become obnoxious, if not
repellent. Men by nature love virtue, and for a life companion naturally
shun an amorous woman. Young folks, as you love moral purity and virtue,
never reciprocate love until you have required the right of betrothal.
Remember that those who are thoroughly in love will respect the honor and
virtue of each other. The purity of woman is doubly attractive, and
sensuality in her becomes doubly offensive and repellent. It is contrary to
the laws of nature for a man to love a harlot.

13. A SEDUCER.--The punishment of the seducer is best given by O. S.
Fowler, in his "Creative Science." The sin and punishment rest on all you
who call out only to blight a trusting, innocent, loving virgin's
affections, and then discard her. You deserve to be horsewhipped by her
father, cowhided by her brothers, branded villain by her mother, cursed by
herself, and sent to the whipping-post and dungeon. {169}

14. CAUTION.--A young lady should never encourage the attentions of a young
man, who shows no interest in his sisters. If a young man is indifferent to
his sisters he will become indifferent to his wife as soon as the honey
moon is over. There are few if any exceptions to this rule. The brother who
will not be kind and loving in his mother's home will make a very poor
husband.

15. THE OLD RULE: "Never marry a man that does not make his mother a
Christmas present every Christmas," is a good one. The young lady makes no
mistake in uniting her destinies with the man that loves his mother and
respects his sisters and brothers.
