“Say, girls, don’t simper and look silly when you speak about love. There
is nothing silly about it although some folks are silly because they are
in love; love is the noblest and purest gift to man and womanhood. Don’t
let your actions advertise “Man Wanted Quick.” That is the surest way
not to get a real one. You might get something with pantaloons on, but
that is not a man. Some men should be arrested for going around and being
disguised as men. Don’t get excited and try to hurry things along. If the
man wants you he’ll come around in his good time; and don’t try to do half
the courting. Don’t bestow the love that God gave you to bestow upon a
baby on a poodle dog. Dogs are all right in their places, but their place
is out in the kennel.”
