CHAPTER
XX.
PLACES
OF
AMUSEMENT.
Do
not
accept
an
invitation
to
visit
any
place
of
public
amusement,
with
a
gentleman
with
whom
you
are
but
slightly
acquainted,
unless
there
is
another
lady
also
invited.
You
may,
as
a
young
lady,
go
with
a
relative
or
your
fiancee,
without
a
chaperon,
but
not
otherwise.
Having
received
an
invitation
which
it
is
proper
for
you
to
accept,
write
an
answer
immediately,
appointing
an
hour
for
your
escort
to
call
for
you,
and
be
sure
that
you
are
ready
in
good
season.
To
arrive
late
is
not
only
annoying
to
those
near
your
seat,
whom
you
disturb
when
you
enter,
but
it
is
ill-bred;
you
will
be
supposed
to
be
some
one
who
is
unable
to
come
early,
instead
of
appearing
as
a
lady
who
is
mistress
of
her
own
time.
If
the
evening
is
cloudy,
or
it
rains,
your
escort
will
probably
bring
a
carriage;
and
let
me
say
a
few
words
here
about
entering
and
leaving
a
carriage.
How
to
get
in
is
difficult,
but
of
less
importance
than
getting
out;
because
if
you
stumble
in,
no
one
sees
you,
but
some
one
who
may
happen
to
be
in
the
carriage;
but
how
to
get
out
is
so
important,
that
I
will
illustrate
it
by
a
short
diplomatic
anecdote:--
