PrefaceThose years forming the transition period between childhood and womanhood are filled with wonderful interest and attractiveness, for there is nothing of more beauty and grace than the budding and blossoming of girlhood. But the young feet that travel this way are often fearful and uncertain, or willful and bold. Each and all have need of guidance; they need a helping hand along the way.Other books have been written bearing upon the same subjects as I have here treated; but many girls who will read this do not have them, and lack the counsel they could give. It is because of this hope to reach some of these precious girls with the help they need this little volume has been written. It is sent forth with a sincere desire to be a blessing.ContentsForewordPrefaceOpening FlowersFrom the Child to the WomanKeeping Up AcquaintanceCharacter BuildingThe Strength of ObedienceMaking Herself BeautifulThat Member, the TongueA Sunny DispositionThe Beauty of TruthfulnessSincerityIdealsAmbitionThe Power of PurposeDreamsFriendshipsAn Accomplished GirlThe Oils of LifeHome LifeA Girl's OrnamentsWhen a Girl Goes OutA New AwakeningA ChristianThe Quiet HourMaking Friends of BooksWaking of the Love NatureBoy FriendsThe Girl Who Can Be TrustedGetting Ready for the Great ResponsibilityChoosing a LifeworkA Consecrated LifeA Pure HeartA Few Faults DiscussedThe Girl of TodayThe Full-Blown Rose
