Never yet did a married man seem to forget his domestic ties in the
presence of single women without losing a portion of their respect,
however they may have been flattered by his attentions.
In every man's heart, in every woman's, is this longing to find husbands
and wives who are satisfied and happy and proud, above all other things,
of their loyalty.
It would be well for you to keep this fact before the minds of the men
you meet. You can, in a small way, do your little toward educating on
this subject the married men you encounter. And you can save yourself
some embarrassing experiences.
It is no compliment to you if the husband of your friend, or a stranger,
falls in love with you.
It is an easy matter for a young, attractive woman to infatuate
irresponsible men.
It is a far greater compliment to you when women respect and trust you,
and when you help elevate the ideals of weak men regarding your sex.
You can study the whole Encyclopedia of Manhood without breaking through
the glass doors of your friend's bookcases. And you can live a free,
unconventional life without sacrificing one principle, though you may
ignore some customs.
