We can only wonder how it is that so many mothers have neglected to teach their daughters to be modest and retiring, and have more self-respect, judging from the letters we receive.
Wrinkles in the forehead are of very early appearance, from the trick of raising the eyebrows in a silly owlish-looking way, which is only too common, and very disfiguring.
What is called “building castles” or “daydreaming” is an idle habit of mind and is the bane of people who have too little to do. The cure is to set yourself some kind of active mental work such as mathematics, or a knitting recipe which requires counting.
Enjoy the Sunday caption contest! Please give away ❤️s to this tweet, as well as to everyone who makes you smile, and include #GirlsOwnCC with your caption.
Excess of alcohol, tea, or tobacco may cause sick headache.

For everyone jumping to amusing conclusions, bear in mind just how disapproving @GirlsOwn is of almost everything. This could be hair curlers or rug cleaners or even knife sharpeners 😇

We know all about the appliance to which you refer, and strongly advise you never to use it again.
We do not answer such questions as yours. Our advice would be to select a different occupation, one less full of temptations and dangers of all kinds.

@GirlsOwn When I was married to a feisty lady many years ago I did look very young indeed for a long time. When people remarked on this she often said; “ It’s like, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray,’ only I’m the ruddy picture…”
@Xanaxides @GirlsOwn Ok one shilling and one halfpenny plus a contract in the form of a haiku plus a signed lithograph of my visage wearing a boater.
Am I missing a trick by not charging authors for peer review?
You do not say if you are willing to pay for the opinion on your manuscript. Readers are always paid for such tedious and trying work.
@SlapBatter @GirlsOwn One and tuppence per thousand for the time and the confirmation will come in the form of a rhyme.
Again, this man's droning academic polemic relies on obfuscation of facts, his father's standing, hopefulness that his expulsion from Harrow is not discovered and low paid editors. @GirlsOwn
You do not say if you are willing to pay for the opinion on your manuscript. Readers are always paid for such tedious and trying work.
@GirlsOwn Iris paused, steeling herself for the final episode of the current desperate farrago; could such a soul numbing line of literary labour really be worth the price of a little finery? With a heavy heart and hopes of attracting a discerning suitor, she read grimly on…
@GirlsOwn Don’t pay them if you do they will say you have talent send more manuscripts with money. You are better than that, I only charge one shilling and sixpence per thousand words and guarantee to confirm your genius.
@GirlsOwn Now that is a very dangerous statement for a magazine to make. They will get their readers demanding money.
@GirlsOwn I've seen your opinions and they aren't worth fudge. I'm just a masochist with literary leanings.
@GirlsOwn Seurat had a stiff word with the sitters. For Christ’s sake stop moving around all the time, I’m trying to paint.

How could you be “really fund of him” - we suppose you mean fond - if he is unknown to you except by sight? It would be very forward and intrusive to force your acquaintance on a stranger, especially a man.
