100 Years Ago: 1924 DON’TS FOR SWEETHEARTS For Him Don’t tell your girl you don’t like her dress; Don’t say she’s like her father if he’s plain; Don’t knock her hair down with a rough caress And say you’ll help her do it up again; Don’t keep her waiting if you’ve asked her out, For if you do excuses will not save you; Don’t lose your temper or your head and shout, And don’t, above all, lose the gifts she gave you. For Her Don’t tell your beau he’s not as tall as you; Don’t keep him standing in the cold and wet;

Don’t greet excuses with “That can’t be true” Or fix a time for lunch – and then forget; Don’t say some other man is “simply sweet”; Don’t give commands to see if he’ll obey them; Don’t run down every other girl you meet; And if you’ve got thick ankles – don’t display them.
