On Becoming a Woman by Mary McGee Williams and Irene Kane, 1958
A boy likes a girl who ...
listens ...
meets his eye ...
walks with a spring, not a swagger ...
has a bell in her voice ...
makes inexpensive clothes look cheery ...
A boy likes a girl who ...
puts make-up on her face, not on his collar ...
isn't self-conscious about her figure, and doesn't advertise it ...
wears a flower, but not the whole Botanical Garden ...
draws a line between slang and profanity ...
A boy likes a girl who ...
smells like spring all year 'round ...
is prudent, but not prudish ...
smokes at home, drinks nowhere ...
improves on nature, but in moderation ...
sits like a lady, even in jeans ...
A boy likes a girl who ...
appreciates football without looking as if she could play it ...
laughs, but not too loudly ...
doesn't knock the rock, but admits there's room for Bach ...
would rather bite her tongue than her nails ...
has opinions, but doesn't think they're the only ones ...
doesn't call him on the phone for no good reason ...
A boy likes a girl who ...
likes him more than she likes his car ...
thanks the donor for small favors ...
neither spreads nor inspires gossip ...
follows the crowd, but not blindly ...
doesn't go to the beach dressed in a pocket hankie ...
A boy likes a girl who ...
acts herself, instead of aping movie stars ...
doesn't load his pockets with her compact, overshoes and hairbrush ...
has read a book ...
dances instead of yakking when she's on the dance floor ...
enjoys a movie and a hamburger as much as she enjoys night-clubbing ...
A boy likes a girl who ...
walks in the rain, and doesn't fuss about her hair coming down ...
gets up early to go fishing ...
appreciates his jokes (even the bad ones) ...
cares about his hobbies ...
A boy likes a girl who ...
looks good ...
sounds good ...
feels good ...
walks good ...
and talks good ~ but not too much ...
