Attention to Person or Personality?


        "The girl who chooses to be modest chooses to be respected.  A boy who is honest with himself will admit that he likes a girl who is modest in speech, conduct, and dress.  Modesty is one of the great virtues he looks for in the girl he hopes to marry.  Most of us know what is modest, and most of us know when modesty ends and immodesty commences.  We know that nothing detracts from the loveliness of a young lady more than immodesty in speech or immodesty in conduct.  A girl fools only herself if she thinks she is impressing a boy by immodest conduct.  The young lady who dresses in an immodest manner ceases to be attractive and embarrasses the young man.  She has called his attention to the person rather than the personality.  The girl who chooses to be modest, chooses to be respected."
