The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

Do
not
look
round
the
house
with
your
glass.
A
lady's
deportment
should
be
very
modest
in
a
theatre.
Avoid
carefully
every
motion,
or
gesture
that
will
attract
attention.
To
flirt
a
fan,
converse
in
whispers,
indulge
in
extravagant
gestures
of
merriment
or
admiration,
laugh
loudly
or
clap
your
hands
together,
are
all
excessively
vulgar
and
unlady-like.
Never
turn
your
head
to
look
at
those
seated
behind
you,
or
near
you.
If
you
speak
to
your
companion
while
the
curtain
is
up,
lower
your
voice,
that
you
may
not
disturb
others
interested
in
the
conversation
on
the
stage.
THE
OPERA--Here
you
should
wear
full
dress,
an
opera
cloak,
and
either
a
head-dress,
or
dressy
bonnet
of
some
thin
material.
Your
gloves
must
be
of
kid,
white,
or
some
very
light
tint
to
suit
your
dress.
Many
dress
for
the
opera
as
they
would
for
the
theatre;
but
the
beauty
of
the
house
is
much
enhanced
by
each
lady
contributing
her
full
dress
toilette
to
the
general
effect.
If
you
go
to
the
dressing-room,
leave
your
hood
and
shawl
in
the
care
of
the
woman
in
waiting,
whom
you
must
fee
when
she
returns
them
to
you.
If
you
do
not
wish
to
go
to
the
dressing-room,
allow
your
escort
to
take
off
your
shawl
or
cloak,
and
throw
it
over
the
back
of
the
seat.
As
your
opera
cloak
must
be
light
enough
to
keep
on
all
the
evening,
though
you
may
throw
it
open,
you
must
wear
over
it
a
heavier
cloak
or
a
shawl.
Throw
this
off
in
the
lobby,
just
before
you
enter
your
box.
Your
gloves
you
must
keep
on
all
the
evening.
