Impure Water on Farms Is Dangerous to Health And Can Be Avoided WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—A1l is not pure water that sparkles. Many persons confuse clear water with clean, and think that because water is clear and sparkling it is neces sarily pure. On the contrary, water that appears best to the eye may be vilely polluted. It may be clear and yet contain the invisible and deadly germs of typhoid fever or other in testinal disorders. It may also con tain considerable poisonous matter in solution. A polluted water supply is evi dence of the existence of bad sani tary conditions which it is of the utmost importance to remedy. The most important consideration in con nection with the farm water supply is to get clean water. The main sources of water for farm use are streams, springs, cisterns, and wells. The majority of supplies are derived from wells and cisterns, although springs are often used. In rarer in stances, where other supplies are difficult to obtain, stream w'kter is used. Prepared to Give Advice Specialists in rural engineering of the United States department of ag riculture have given considerable study to the problem of getting pure water supplies for the farms of the country. They are prepared to give advice to anyone interested in the subject. With the growth of population and development of industries there Is progressive pollution of streams, so that in the more thickly settled re gions streams not already contami nated or subject to pollution are very rare. Water supplies from running streams should, therefore, never be used for household purposes unless no other supply is available. If sur face water must be used, it should be clear and should be boiled twenty minutes. Other processes of purifi cation, such as filtering, treating with chemicals, or distilling, are also sometimes used, but under farm con ditions are attended with uncertainty and expense. Under ordinary condi tions surface water of any kind should be looked upon with suspi cion. Deep wells, as a rule, are less likely to be polluted than shallow ones. Polluted surface water, how ever, often gains access to both deep and shallow wells at the top. Shal low wells are often polluted through the soil. Deep wells may be like wise polluted through the soil or through rock fissures. Sound casing is a protection, but even with this protection surface water may follow the casing to the bottom apd thus enter the well. Remove Pointion Sources The logical first step in securing a clean well-water supply is to remove all the sources of possible pollution. Among the worst of these are the open privy vault, the leaching cess pool, and barnyard filth. A well in ordinary pervious soil located lower than and within 100 feet Os any of these is almost certain to be pol luted. Even thougn the well is lo cated on higher ground than these sources of pollution, heavy pumping or dry weather may so lower the ground-water level that polluted or contaminated water will be drawn into the well. The open privy vault and leach ing cesspool therefore should be abandoned, and a sewage treatment plant or at least a sanitary privy should be used instead. Sewage, garbage, manure, or other wastes should never be dumped into lime stone sink holes or fissured rock, and. above all, into old abandoned wells. An old well used for this purpose is very likely to communicate directly with and pollute the water-bearing stratum from which the other wells in the vicinity draw their supply. Slops or other waste water should never be thrown out of the back door or window upon the ground. If the pigs and chickens must run at large, they should at least be kept away from the well. A box built around the pump and filled with manure in winter is an extremely unsafe and 'indecent way to prevent the pump from freezing. Should Safeguard Well Carefully Tight, concrete manure -pits, im pervious floors, ajid water-tight drains are desirable features for farm buildings. If these are beyond ; the farmer’s purse, the manure pile should at least be placed at a safe I distance from the well. The well 1 llllglll g | Water and Thief Proof. !

Additional safeguards to a well water supply are to give the well an impervious lining of tile, brick, or stone laid in cement, iron, or con crete, and to provide a water-tight platform not only to keep out sur face wash, animals, and vermin, but to prevent the pump drip and dirt from shoes and buckets from enter ing the w’ell. Those who use the well should observe the utmost care to keep the platform and the ground about it in a cleanly condition. Vigorous Action Checks Crop Pests in Saluda CLEMSON COLLEGE. —Two out breaks of insect pests and the way in wffiich they were handled by County Agent J. M. Eleazer, of Saluda county. S. C., serve as a good illustration of the confidence which the farmers of Saluda have in their county agent. In his weekly report for July 10 he reports that the army worm appeared in destructive numbers in all parts of the county, and that the outbreak of read spider also had to be dealt with during the same week. In speaking of the army worm in festation, he says that as many as 150 distress calls were received in one day. To reach the farmers as promptly as possible with control measures two front page articles in the Saluda Standard jvere published; circular letters were mailed direct ly to farmers; two of the banks sent out to their customers letters of in struction as prescribed by the county agent; and about 100 hurried calls were made to farms with infested fields. About 2,000 acres of Corn heavily infested with the army worm were dusted with poison and the out break was gotten under control, though probably 1,000 acres were largely destroyed before assistance could be gotten. The outbreak of red spider was dealt with in a similarly vigorous manner, and was also gotten under control without great trouble. In speaking of the response given him by his farmers in checking such outbreaks, the county agent adds that he has experienced no trouble in getting farmers whose cotton is infested with boll weevils to pick the squares. Some 3,000 acres of cotton in his territory is being so treated. This enthusiastic county agent pays an unconscious tribute to himself when he concludes his report with this statement: “This is the most strenuous week which this office has yet seen. Many acquaintances that mean future work have been made.” Learn Poultry keeping Before Buying a Flock The safest way for those who are about to make their first attempt at poultry raising is to start in a small Way with a few fowls, and learn the business thoroughly before mking large investments, advise poultry spe cialists of the U. S. department of agriculture. Mistakes will be made and many difficult problems will be presented for solution before success in any large measure will be attain ed. As soon as it is found to be a paying investment, more capital may be put into the plant. Another good plan for the begin ner who wishes to learn the art of poultry keeping is to secure a posi tion with some successful poultry man. One Or two years of work on a large, practical plant will be found a great help, all the methods of car ing for the birds nd of marketing the products and thus be learned bet ter than in almost any other way. The question is often asked, What is the best time of the year for me to begin? When to begin is hot very important. Fall is a good time, for then stock can bepurchased for less money than at any other sea son. It is also advisable to move the fowls to their new quarters before they begin to lay. If the beginner has had experience in poultry keeping, st will be all right to purchase eggs. otherwise he should begin with the fowls and thus gain some knowledge of caring for poultry before attempting to raise chickens. DIP POULTRY TO KILL LICE, SAY FEDERAL EXPERTS WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—-There seems to be a general sentiment among poultry raisers against the practice of dipping fowls. This is probably partially on account of the fact that the dips tried have been of an oily or caustic nature and have tended to soil the feathers and in some cases injure the skin of the fowl and give the feathers a thor ough wetting. The experience of poultry specialists of the United States department of agriculture does not justify this aversion to dip ping in a sodium-flourid solution. The dipping method, however, is most applicable to the southern states and to summer treatments in the north. Wann Sunny Day Necessary The first requisite is a rather warm sunny day so that the fowls will dry quickly. Windy weather should be avoided. In dipping fowls as described the feathers do not get thoroughly wet, and if the operation is finished ai} hour before sundown the fowl will become thoroughly dry before going to roost. In the rather extensive tests made of this method no ill effect whatever from the dip ping has been observed. As com pared with dusting, this method has an advantage in that is reduces con siderably the cost of materials, is more rapidly done, and the discom fiture to the operator is avoided. It is is just as effective as dusting. The lice doe much more quickly fol lowing dipping than when sodium fluorid is applied in dust form. It appears that all those which are touched by the liquid die very promptly, and the others succumb in a few hours. Tepid Water Best In using the dipping method all that is necessary is a supply of tepid water and a tub. If two per sons are to dip at the same time, it is advisable to use a large tub. The water should be measured into the tub and' three-fourths to 1 ounce of chemically pure sodium fluorid ad ed to each gallon of water. It is readily dissolved by stirring. The tub should be filled within 6 or 8 inches of the top, and as the amount of solution is lowered through dip ping numbers of fowls, water with the proper proportion of sodium flu orid dissolved should be added from time to time. In dipping the fowls it is best to hold the wings over the back with the left hand and quickly submerge the fowl in the so lution, leaving the head out while the feathers are thoroughly ruffled with the other hand so as to allow the solution to penetrate to the skin on different parts, of the bird. The head Is then ducked once or twice, the bird is lifted out of the bath and allowed to drain a few seconds and is then released. The total time re auired for an individual fowl is from 30 to 45 seconds. Stock Owners Warned Against Spread of Tuberculosis Germs The extent to which bovine tuber culosis, if uncontrolled, runs its course through a herd of cattle is shown in a recent report received by the United States department of agriculture from one of its field in spectors in Illinois. Every animal in a herd of grade Holsteins and Jerseys reacted to the tuberculin test. The herd consisted of 14 cows, 2 calves, and 2 bulls. Upon post mortem examination 6 of the ani mals showed such extensive lesions that the entire carcass was con demned and destroyed. All of the other reactors likewise showed lesions though not of such an ex tensive nature as to necessitate de struction of the carcass. The fact that every animal in the herd react ed and showed lesions makes the case one of the most striking ever recorded. Swine Owners Cautioned The danger of tuberculous cattle to swine was further demonstrated by the sale of hogs from this farm early in the year. The first lot of 21 hogs sold showed such extensive lesions of tuberculosis upon post mortem that the packing company refused to accept the remaining 50. These were subsequently sola to a local shipper and their identity and destination are not known. If the swine are still alive they are un doubtedly a menace to other stock. The bureau of animal industry cau tions swine owners against purchas ing stock from farms where either tuberculous cattle or swine are kept. • The bureau inspector also report ed that a week after the shipment of hogs had meen made, a milk cow —a chronic cougher—had died and the younger stock was allowed to devour the carcass. Such a practice is responsible for a great deal of tuberculosis among swine in the United States. According to bureau officials, the facts stated should cause any livestock farmer who finds tuberculosis among his hogs or whose shipments of hogs are refused because of extensive lesions of that disease, to have his herd of cattle tested promptly. Unless the origin of infection is known and removed, tuberculosis is liable to run its course among all the cattle and swine on the farm. ' Removing Dirt From » Various Wall Coverings Ordinary plastered and papered walls and ceilings should be cleaned with a wall brush or a broom cov ered with soft cloth, such as cotton nn ®b . Light overlapping strokes should be used; heavy strokes rub the dirt in. Cotton batting is good for cleaning places that soil more quickly than the rest—for example, the wall over radiators, registers and stoves. The wall should be rub bed lightly with the cotton, which should be turned as it becomes soiled. There are commercial pastes and powders for cleaning wall papers, but, in general, these should be ap plied only by an expert. An ama teur is likely to have a streaked wall if he attempts to use them. The so-called washable papers used tn kitchens and bathrooms may "be cleaned with a dampened cloth, but water must be used sparingly; if it seeps in, the paper will be loosened. Varnishing the paper in these rooms will make it more nearly impervious to moisture and steam will prevent it from peeling, household specialists of the United States department of agriculture say. Rough wall coverings, such as bur lap, are hard to clean. The dust should be removed by brushing or with a vacuum cleaner. Some painted wrflls may be washed, but as in the case of all painted sur faces, the success with which this may be done depends largely on the kind and quality of the paint. In the case of ordinary oil paint, the wall should be rubbed with even strokes, using a cloth wrung out of light suds, then rinsed with a cloth wrung out with clear water, and wiped with a dry, soft cloth. If the paint is badly soiled and stained, a fine scourer, such as whiting, may be used. Enamel paint (that is. paint mixed with varnish, which gives a hard, smooth surface and does not catch or hold dust so easily) is dulled by soap. Such paint may be cleaned by rubbing first with a woolen or cotton flannel cloth, wrung out of hot water, and then with a clean i dry cloth. Spots, stains and dirt that will not yield to hot water alone may be re moved with a fine scourer, but it must be applied lightly In order r.ot to scratch the surface. Calcimined walls cannot be wash ed, nor can they even be rubbed with a dry cloth without streaking ‘lie finish. Recoating- is for this rea son preferatle to cleaning. Ex-Soldier Asleep Since Last March FORT SMITH, Ark. —In the case of Herbert Wright, ex-service man, physicians of this state are being given food for much thought and ex periment. Wright, a victim of sleep ing sickness, has been in an uncon scious stupor since last March and shows no signs of awakening. At tending doctors, who claim they have made every test known to science, declare that Wright is ab solutely without a sense of feeling. SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON For Aug. a— 2 Sam 8:15; 9:1-13 BY DB. MAa-ON M’H. HULX. Golden Text: David executed jus tice and righteousness to all his peo ple* Sam. 8:15, It probably took David ten years to establish his kingdom after he had been made king over all Israel. He had extended the boundaries of it until It reached northward and southward, and eastward and west ward; in fact David possessed more of the territory promised to Abraham than at any other time of the king dom. The nations around him had recognized his kingdom as one of the great world powers, and their kings sent presents and paid tribute to him. Furthermore he had brought the ark to Jerusalem, and had estab lished the worship of God on. a firm foundation, having assigned to every one his part. And now he was at peace with all of his neighbors; this gave him time to think of what else 'he could do to make his people happy for he had their interests at heart. He had so planned everything that justice and righteousness were executed to all of his people. One thing occurred to him that he had not done; he had performed part of It, but there might be something more that he could do. When he had had the conference with Jona than the day he fled from Saul, he had sworn to Jonathan that he would show him the kindness of the Lord that he die not, and that he would not cut off this kindness from Jona than’s house forever; no, not when the Lord had cut off all of David’s enemies from the face of . the earth. See I Samuel 20:14, 15. Later on, when he had spared the life of Saul, Saul had foresight enough to know that one day David would be king, and realizing how eastern kings did in the matter of those who might be pretenders to the throne, he had taken advantage of David’s generos- D.'y and had extracted from him a promise that when he came to the throne he would not cut off his seed after him, that he would not destroy his name out of his father’s house. I Sam. 24:21. Now David had kept part of these covenants; he had not taken the life <f a single one of those who had persecuted him so mercilessly; his attitude had been entirely different from what any other monarch would have been in that day. But David had time to reflect now that 'he was not so busily engaged in the affairs of state, and he thought of his be loved friend of bygone days and of his promise to him. He inquired, therefore, if there were any descend ents alive, for he remembered the foul murder of the only remaining son of Saul by the sons of Rimmon. He learned that there was one of Saul’s servants yet alive, and from Ziba he learned that there was one of Jonathan’s sons still alive and in exile. When the slaughter had taken place, this boy was a child of five years; she had attempted to get away and in her haste had let the little fellow fall; he had been lame in his feet ever since. Those who had had him under their care had gone over the other side of the Jor dan with him, and there they had raised him in the house of Machir of Lo-debar. As he grew to man hood he must -often have wondered if he would some day be discovered and his life taken by David or some of his emissaries. W T e can well imag ine how afraid he was when the messengers arrived to say that he was to be brought into the presence of the king at Jerusalem. Nor did his fear get any less as he came nearer and nearer to the city of the king. Kingly Kindness Can you picture that scene when the poor cripple was brought into the presence of the greatest king that the world then knew, or has ever known? He had been living in ex ile and probably in want, for there had been left to him no estate 'nor source of income, and his infirmity had made it impossible for him to earn a decent livelihood. But, even so, there was something admirable about this young man. He is call ed by two names in the records. Mephibosheth means “destroyer of shame,” and his other name, Merib baal means “contender against Baal.” Now, when we appreciate that the worship of Baal was attended by the most horribly immoral and shame ful practices, we can easily see that so have such names as he had in dicated that he would not stand for that without making the most vigor ous protests, and doing all that he could to put an end to them. Un doubtedly, therefore, this son of such a noble father was doing what he could to make his life count for all that was best. When he came Into the presence of David, he bowed himself to the ground with the greatest deference, but could not conceal from the keen eye of his father’s friend the fear that had taken possession of him. How graciously David acted. "Fear not,” he said, “for I will surely show thee kindness for the Father Jona than’s sake, and will restore three all the land of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eat bread at my table contin ually.” Notice that there were three things that David promised him—life, that was the kindness that Jonathan had asked of him, and that he had also promised to Saul. But that was only a small part of what David gave him; for property and fellowship were the other two. David need not have done more than spare his life, and yet have kept his promises; but that was not enough for this gener ous soul. He gave him all that he would have inherited, and instructed Ziba to take his fifteen sons and the twenty servants and get busy mak ing a crop so that his master’s sons would have all the income he needed, that he might live as his friend’s son ought to live. Even this was not enough for Jonathan’s boy. He had been dearer to him than his own brothers, and Jonathan’s boy must have just what one of his own boys would have; henceforth, he was to sit at the king’s table and be treat ed as one of his own sons. And so the years went by, until one of David’s sons rebelled against him. It was while he was over Jor dan in his effort to put down the rebel, that this same Machir of Lo debar with some others provided him and his men with food and refresh ments. But Ziba proved himself a very unfaithful servant, for he told David the most outrageous lies about Mephibosheth being a traitor and an ingrate. David was impulsive, and believed it at first, but when he got back to Jerusalem, the unshaven beard, the long hair, and the unkept appearance of Mephibosheth, told a very different story, a story of the most heartfelt distress; for while his lameness prevented him from going to the help of the king he had spent the whole time in anxious mourning for the fate of his friend and bene factor. I have been wondering whether we are as deeply concerned over the af fairs of our David; for David was under some obligations to do some thing for Mephibosheth, but he was under no obligations to <?o anything for me or for you. Yet how gracious he has been to us. He has served our lives, and brought us out of exile into the Father’s house. He has given us possessions that are so far superior to those that David gave Mephibosheth that they pale into in significance. He had only the income from the estates that were once his grandfather’s; but “all things are yours; and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s. And even more than this, He has brought us into His S-xnqueting house, and His banner over us is love. He makes us to sit at His table every day, and we are being treated as one of the sons of God. The best part of this is the fellowship that He allows, for to have Him, and to be allowed to rally with Him at any time is far better than anything that He can give. Are you getting anything you do not deserve “for your father’s sake?” All that heaven has to give may be had by you if you will take it, “for Christ’s sake.’’ LAY, A'Cu.tr.T 5, 15)20 The Tri-Weekly Journal’s Fashion Suggestions 01/ r iX ft \ k L)\ fa wbA I (vA'l PlVi 7 • 144 >- .

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME lam coming to you for advice. I am fourteen, or will be in October. I have brown hair, blue eyes and am medium height. I do not care for boys, only as friends. Do you think I am old enough to have boy friends? Do you think I am old enough to use powder and rouge? Miss Mary, we have crowds of boys and girls to come to our house. There was a crowd of girls and boys at our house one night and an old gray headed bachelor came in there. What must we do about it? What must I say when some boys pass a com pliment on me? Some were parsed on me to some other girls where I got it. What kind of cream is good to clear any one’s complexion? I will close, thanking you for advice. ROSEBUD. Powder is all right to use on the face if not caked on; it will protect the sensitive skin from the light and sun. Rouge is a poor substitute for a real complexion, and every one nearly can tell it when it is used on the face. You can have a good complexion by keeping the face clean, free from dirt, and the skin can be kept in good condition by the use of any good cold cream. See to your general health. When you do this your face will show improvement. I am not permit ted to give you the brand of any special cold cream through The Journal. It doesn’t matter whether the person is young or old, ugly or handsome, good or not so good; it is up to you to treat them politely when they are in your home. Compliments needn’t always be taken serious ly. And it IS bad form to pass them to one's face. And if such is the case, you may say “thank you” or turn the personal re mark in to Other channels. lam coming to you for advice. I am a lonely girl, twenty years of age, and I am troubled over a boy Whom I love and never loved any one else. We broke up for a while, but I asked his pardon, as it was my fault. While we were on the “outs” he started going with anoth er girl. As soon as I found it out, I wrote him how I felt about it. He denied it. I tried to get him to send me my letters I had written him, but he wouldn’t do so. He is kind and speaks to me as if nothing had happened. He has been away from this other girl, so I was told. He told a friend of mine he sure did love me and he has proven it. I have been true to him, but he hasn’t in one little respect to me. We haven’t been with each other in some time, for he has been away. Would you go with others or would you go to some city and get a job and go to work? As I am no fool over men, I like them all right and treat them with respect and they have to treat me, for I see no need of a woman acting the fool when she can make her own living and have pleasure, too. Will you please advise me through The Journal, as I am anx ious to know what you have to tell me? Please answer this in your next paper, as I am delighted to read your advice. Yours truly, MAGNOLIA. I just can’t quite get the real sense of your letter, it seems, If you are in love with a man and you feel he no longer cares for you, pride should forbade your worrying over him. Try to overcome your regard for him. It isn’t necessary to go away to another town in order to rid yourself of him. You can fight your own battle right there. He will soon see that you have spunk and determination to for get him. As you say you aren’t a “fool” about men, try this plan and I am sure you will get good results. Here are two lonely girls coming to you for advice. We are not sis ters, but are the best of friends. Do you think it all right for a girl to go on the stage dressed as a boy? We are both in the eighth grade and aged thirteen and fourteen and are rather large for our age. Do you think we are too young to go with nice boys to parties or picnics? We know that W’e are too young yet to keep late company at night. Blue-eyed 14 was going with the un cle of brown-eyed 14; brown-eyed thirteen was a dear friend to blue eyed 14’s brother. They both seem to love another girl now. We both loved them dearly. What shall we do to win them back? We will never be happy if not. Thank you for ad vice. JOHNNY AND JEFF. (Nicknames.) While there is no actual harm going upon the stage dressed as a boy, yet if you feel that you would be conspicuous, don’t do it. Modesty is a great asset, and girls would do W’ell to ac quire it. If they haven’t it al ready. Both of' you are too young to be talking much on the subject of love, and by the time you are old enough to know its real meaning, the knowledge will have come to you to manage your own "love affairs” perhaps without any help from me.

It is said that the wom an became excited and grabbed the steering wheel, turning the car over the edge of the precipice. The Country Home BY MRS. W. H. FELTON AN ATFECTIONATE WORD OF AD VICE I do wish I could make it plain to the young girls who read our Tri- Weekly Journal how much I admire pretty, well-behave'l, genteel young women who have just advanced into the era of young ladyhood. I love pretty flowers, clothes, pretty everything that goes to the adorn ment of such young persons—while “the bloom is on the peach” and “the dew is on the rose;” but the thing that is superior to everything else that money can buy or circumstances can afford, is the pure, sweet, inno cent heart that is inside the lovely l form and that looks out of the ex pressive eyes of the girl herself. I.really think a lovely young girl in the blush of maidenhood is the most charming thing under the sun, if she is good and sensible and de voted to everything that iIS of good report. She is the joy of the home if she fills her place with dutiful at tention to the old, and careful at tention to the young of her family. Everything and everybody will love her, will enjoy her presence all the time and miss her so much if she must go away. She will bring happi ness and shed abroad a fine example and the heart of her husband will sing her praises and he will safely trust in her sterling character when she sets up her individual home and family. She will show herself a self-respecting unit in any family that she is connected with, and she will reflect credit on the parants who raised her, and, her children in life will rise up and “call her blessed.” Such thoughts as these passed through my mind when I read the story in a late magazine of a girl who concluded to dress very “loud” and look very fashionable with ffne> clothes on her body and exhaustive adornments, but which style of dress was very low on the neck, shoulders, arms and back and with very short, scant skirts, that evidenced a desire to expose her shapely silk-stock inged legs in public company. She was a good girl, a moral girl, but she copied a style of dress that the demi-monde were pleased to wear, and she was rudely accosted in a crowded function by a stranger who concluded she was hanging out an accustomed sign of lewd proclivities. She was dreadfully exercised over the encounter, and told her moither and father that the visiting stranger ought to be punished for his auda cious attitude toward her. The mother was greatly exasperated, but the father, better versed in masculine manners and thoughts, told her that it was her dress and her folly in adopting its immodest appearance which had made the man of the world mistake her character. Paris, always the birthplace of dar ing costumes and grown more so be cause of the reactions of war (which always evidences a looser code of public morals), has adopted a style of dress or undress that our Ameri can women have foolishly adopted. Everybody knows that men will never appear in public company with al most nude bodies or naked legs. It is a mark of pristine civilization to clothe the human body in modest attire. Savages go naked, but as soon as they feel the movings of a better spirit or seek culture, they will uni versally adopt a style of dress that speaks for modesty or something akin to it. I understand, however, that the modern attire for fashionable women has been so generally accepted that the public has become more or "less accustomed to almost naked wom en’s busts and limbs. Its general use is the serious part of the indict ment against its immodesty. But pretty young maidens are so attractive in modest garb and are so generally admired that it seems a pity that they do not understand the folly of doing such daring things In dress, when they can secure all the admiration their hearts might covet by other and less disturbing cos tumes. I had only one little daughter, but she was. lovely'tO' her-young mother. She went to heaven before she could talk plainly. It almost broke my heart to see her die, but I take com fort in the thought that “God doeth all things well” and if I meet my daughter in the" better land” I will know she is just as sweet, as good and as loveworthy as when she left me, spotless in her purity and inno cence. Dear young girls, listen to an aged grandmother’s kind and loving words when she tells you that your greatest charm lies in your self-respecting manners and modest attire.
