The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness
·

Avoid
the
loud,
thumping
style,
and
also
the
over-solemn
style.
Be
sure,
before
you
accept
any
invitation
to
play,
that
you
know
perfectly
the
piece
you
undertake.
It
is
better
to
play
the
simplest
airs
in
a
finished,
faultless
manner,
than
to
play
imperfectly
the
most
brilliant
variations.
Avoid
movement
at
the
piano.
Swinging
the
body
to
and
fro,
moving
the
head,
rolling
the
eyes,
raising
the
hands
too
much,
are
all
bad
tricks,
and
should
be
carefully
abstained
from.
With
respect
to
drawing,
modeling,
or
any
pursuits
of
the
same
nature,
so
much
depends
on
taste
and
opportunity,
and
they
are
so
little
the
accomplishments
of
society
that
they
require
but
few
of
those
restrictions
which
music,
in
its
use
and
abuse,
demands.
Drawing,
like
music,
should
be
cultivated
early.
Its
advantages
are
the
habits
of
perseverance
and
occupation,
which
it
induces;
and
the
additional
delight
which
it
gives
to
the
works,
both
of
nature
and
of
art.
Like
music,
it
gives
independence--independence
of
society.
The
true
lover
of
the
arts
has
a
superiority
over
the
indifferent,
and,
if
she
be
not
better
prepared
for
society,
is
much
better
fitted
for
retirement
than
those
who
are
not
so
happily
endowed
with
tastes,
when
in
moderation,
so
innocent
and
beneficial.
There
is
no
accomplishment
more
graceful,
pleasing,
healthy,
and
lady-like,
than
that
of
riding
well.
Avoiding,
at
the
same
time,
timidity
and
the
"fast"
style,
keeping
within
the
bounds
of
elegant
propriety,
gracefully
yielding
to
the
guidance
of
your
escort,
and
keeping
your
seat
easily,
yet
steadily,
are
all
points
to
be
acquired.
