"I consider the book 'What a Young Wife Ought to Know' a wise and safe teacher. It is a careful and delicate presentation of vital truths which have to do with the happiness and welfare of home life."




COMMENDED BY EMINENT AMERICAN
AUTHORS AND EDITORS


MARGARET WARNER MORLEY

Author of "The Song of Life," "Life and Love,"
"The Bee People," etc.

"There is an awful need for the book, and it does what it has undertaken to do better than anything of the kind I have ever read. You may rely upon me to make it known wherever I can."


ELISABETH ROBINSON SCOVIL

Superintendent of the Newport Hospital, and
Associate Editor of the Ladies' Home Journal;

"'What a Young Woman Ought to Know' is characterized by purity of tone and delicacy of treatment.

"It is one which a mother can place with confidence in the hands of her daughter. Reverent knowledge is the surest safeguard of innocence, and it is every mother's duty to see that the young girl committed to her charge is duly forearmed by being forewarned of the dangers that lie around her."
