4. LADYLIKE ETIQUETTE.--No woman can afford to treat men rudely. A lady
must have a high intellectual and moral ideal and hold herself above
reproach. She must remember that the art of pleasing and entertaining
gentlemen is infinitely more ornamental than laces, ribbons or diamonds.
Dress and glitter may please man, but it will never benefit him.
5. CULTIVATE DEFICIENCIES.--Men and women poorly sexed treat each other
with more or less indifference, whereas a hearty sexuality inspires both to
a right estimation of the faculties and qualities of each other. Those who
are deficient should seek society and overcome their deficiencies. While
some naturally inherit faculties as entertainers, others are compelled to
acquire them by cultivation. {61}

6. LADIES' SOCIETY.--He who seeks ladies' society should seek an education
and should have a pure heart and a pure mind. Read good, pure and wholesome
literature and study human nature, and you will always be a favorite in the
society circle.
7. WOMAN HATERS.--Some men with little refinement and strong sensual
feelings virtually insult and thereby disgust and repel every female they
meet. They look upon woman with an inherent vulgarity, and doubt the virtue
and integrity of all alike. But it is because they are generally {62}
insincere and impure themselves, and with such a nature culture and
refinement are out of the question, there must be a revolution.
8. MEN HATERS.--Women who look upon all men as odious, corrupt or hateful,
are no doubt so themselves, though they may be clad in silk and sparkle
with diamonds and be as pretty as a lily; but their hypocrisy will out, and
they can never win the heart of a faithful, conscientious and well balanced
man. A good woman has broad ideas and great sympathy. She respects all men
until they are proven unworthy.
9. FOND OF CHILDREN.--The man who is naturally fond of children will make a
good husband and a good father. So it behooves the young man, to notice
children and cultivate the art of pleasing them. It will be a source of
interest, education and permanent benefit to all.
10. EXCESSIVE LUXURY.--Although the association with ladies is an expensive
luxury, yet it is not an expensive education. It elevates, refines,
sanctifies and purifies, and improves the whole man. A young man who has a
pure and genuine respect for ladies, will not only make a good husband, but
a good citizen as well.
