Beautiful Girlhood compiled by Debra Maffett
Beautiful Girlhood by Mabel Hale was written in 1922. Those 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. This book is sent forth with a sincere desire to be a blessing. In a timeless way, this classic book offers practical, biblical wisdom on the issues every girl faces, from beauty to attitudes to relationships.

If girls could always wait until the Lord would reveal who the right one was<br />
for them, instead of having sweethearts and trying to choose for themselves<br />
— they would often save themselves from doing foolish and silly things.<br />
It is not best for a girl to seek to be what is sometimes called "a good pal"<br />
with the boys, being interested most in boys' games and doings. Men and<br />
boys expect women and girls to be different from themselves, and when<br />
they find one who is always aping their ways and manners, and acting as if<br />
trying to be one of them — it cheapens that girl in the boys' eyes. We do not<br />
like the "sissy" boy nor the "womanish" man; nor do they want us to act<br />
"mannish." A girl can be a good friend and an interested comrade with her<br />
brother and his boy friends, without in the least making herself "common."<br />
