Show . OLD FASHIONED GIRLS. There is something that is getting too scarce in this world and that is the sweet, eld fashioned girl. We want girls in this world home girls, girls who are their mothers' right hand, who can care for the little ones next best to mother, and who can smooth out the domestic skein when things get twisted; girls whom the father takes comfort in for something better than beauty, and the big brothers are proud of for something that out- ' nlnks the ability to shine in society. We want girls of sense, girls who have a good Catholic standard of their own, regardless of convention- j alities and aro independent enough to live up to J it; girls who simply won't wear trailing dresses on the streets to gather up microbes and all sorts of defilement; girls who will wear what is pretty and becoming, and snap their fingers at the dictates of fashion when fashion is silly. We want good girls girls who are sweet right straight out from the heart to the lips; innocent, pure and simple girls; girls who say their prayers and go to mass and love God and obey the Church's teachings. We want careful girls and prudent girls girls who' a re unselfish and eager to be a joy and comfort in j the home rather than an expensive and useless j burden. We want girls with hearts girls who are j full of tenderness and sympathy, with tears 'that flow for other people's ills, and smiles that light' outward their own beautiful thoughts. With such ; girls scattered around life would freshen up for all of us as the weather does under a spell of summer sum-mer showers. Catholic Tribune. ' - |
