The Well-Bred Girl

THE girl who is well bred never finds it necessary to announce the fact to the world. Good breeding is as natural to her as breathing, and as necessary, too.
She never gossips nor listens to tales about her friends. This sort of conversation is not pleasing to her.
The well-bred girl seldom apologizes. It is not necessary for her to do so, because she is always careful of other people’s feelings, and she never talks of her private affairs.
The well-bred girl never makes herself conspicuous in public places and does not permit herself to be drawn into any arguments in conversation which might involve others.
She is gracious and hospitable, giving of what she has with a good will, and never attempts to entertain in a way she can not afford. Indeed, she is just a simple, wholesome girl, careful of other people’s feelings and always has a ready fund of sympathy for those in trouble.—Farm and Fireside.
