4) Base your friendships on good comradeship, not on maudlin emotion,
nor on propinquity. The right kind of girl and boy friendships may give
joy for a lifetime; the wrong kind must be a continual menace.
5) Don't be prudes, girls, but let every boy know that he must keep his
hands off from you. If he presumes, a cool glance on your part will
usually restrain him. If it does not, avoid him; he is unworthy of your
friendship.
6) Boys, you can easily tell what girls would have you sit very close
to them, and hold their hands, and put your arms around them. But, be
manly. Always protect a girl; protect her from yourself, even from
herself. If she does not wish to be so protected, avoid her as you would
the plague.
7) When you call on a girl, you shouldn't remain after ten o'clock even
though the girl wants you to. Girls, you should not urge. And, girls,
observe how your boy friends fit themselves into the family group.
8) A gift you should acknowledge at once and cordially. But, boys, let
your gifts to girls be rare, and restricted to candy, books, and
flowers.
9) To force your presence upon those who seem not to want you, tends to
crystallize their feeling of antagonism. On the other hand, nothing more
quickly disarms this feeling of antagonism than evidence of delicacy on
your part.
10) Girls, it is poor policy to call up boys often by telephone, and bad
manners to whistle to attract their attention.
