The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

Be
careful,
when
traveling,
not
to
wound
the
feelings
of
your
friends
in
another
country
or
city,
by
underrating
their
native
place,
or
attempting
to
prove
the
superiority
of
your
own
home
over
theirs.
Very
young
girls
are
apt
to
suppose,
from
what
they
observe
in
older
ones,
that
there
is
some
particular
manner
to
be
put
on,
in
talking
to
gentlemen,
and,
not
knowing
exactly
what
it
is,
they
are
embarrassed
and
reserved;
others
observe
certain
airs
and
looks,
used
by
their
elders
in
this
intercourse,
and
try
to
imitate
them,
as
a
necessary
part
of
company
behaviours,
and,
so
become
affected,
and
lose
that
first
of
charms,
simplicity,
natural
grace.
To
such,
let
me
say,
your
companions
are
in
error;
it
requires
no
peculiar
manner,
nothing
to
be
put
on,
in
order
to
converse
with
gentlemen,
any
more
than
with
ladies;
and
the
more
pure
and
elevated
your
sentiments
are,
and
the
better
cultivated
your
intellect
is,
the
easier
will
you
find
it
to
converse
pleasantly
with
all.
One
good
rule
can
be
always
followed
by
young
ladies;
to
converse
with
a
lady
friend
as
if
there
were
gentlemen
present,
and
to
converse
with
a
gentleman
as
if
in
the
room
with
other
ladies.
Avoid
affectation;
it
is
the
sure
test
of
a
deceitful,
vulgar
mind.
The
best
cure
is
to
try
to
have
those
virtues
which
you
would
affect,
and
then
they
will
appear
naturally.
