After the first season or two, if a girl does not marry she will have drifted into one set or another, and you can judge instantly of her status and prestige by the men she collects round her.

s, you must ask _yourself_ why this is so; you must not get nervous about being left behind, and turn into a seeker! There are many girls who seem very popular and get plenty of public attention, but who behave themselves so that they are spoken of lightly by every young man. Would such popularity be worth having, and what would it bring in a few years? Not much happiness, I fear. For, even if one of these girls does marry, she will not have earned the respect of her husband, nor will she have controlled her own emotions or desires sufficiently to be able to maintain any stable position in life. When I look back upon those of this sort that I knew when I was young, I ask myself where are they now? Some of them are weary old maids--some have made hole-and-corner, still enduring, wretched marriages--and some have gone under and are divorced and forgotten. “Look to the end,” my dear girl, is an excellent motto to apply to everything, especially to any common little pleasure of the moment. FIND YOURSELF NOT A SUCCESS YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF WHY THIS IS SO YOU MUST NOT GET NERVOUS ABOUT BEING LEFT BEHIND AND TURN INTO A SEEKER THERE ARE MANY GIRLS WHO SEEM VERY POPULAR AND GET PLENTY OF PUBLIC ATTENTION BUT WHO BEHAVE THEMSELVES SO THAT THEY ARE SPOKEN OF LIGHTLY BY EVERY YOUNG MAN WOULD SUCH POPULARITY BE WORTH HAVING AND WHAT WOULD IT BRING IN A FEW YEARS NOT MUCH HAPPINESS I FEAR FOR EVEN IF ONE OF THESE GIRLS DOES MARRY SHE WILL NOT HAVE EARNED THE RESPECT OF HER HUSBAND NOR WILL SHE HAVE CONTROLLED HER OWN EMOTIONS OR DESIRES SUFFICIENTLY TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ANY STABLE POSITION IN LIFE WHEN I LOOK BACK UPON THOSE OF THIS SORT THAT I KNEW WHEN I WAS YOUNG I ASKED MYSELF WHERE ARE THEY NOW SOME OF THEM ARE WEARY OLD MAIDS SOME HAVE MADE HOLE AND CORNERS STILL ENDURING WRETCHED MARRIAGES AND SOME HAVE GONE UNDER AND ARE DIVORCED AND FORGOTTEN LOOK TO THE END MY DEAR GIRL IS AN EXCELLENT MOTTO TO APPLY TO EVERYTHING ESPECIALLY TO ANY COMMON LITTLE PLEASURE OF THE MOMENT
