About This Book

A series of familiar, faith-based talks and collected letters advising girls and young women on moral character and daily conduct. It emphasizes honest self-examination and the removal of hidden faults, advocates modest, tasteful dress, urges seriousness of purpose and intellectual cultivation, and warns against frivolity, idle gossip, and lack of reverence in worship. Respect for elders and family obligations is stressed, while practical examples and correspondent quotations illustrate common shortcomings and sketch an ideal of earnest, modest, disciplined Christian womanhood.
