The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

Curls,
or
any
flowing
loose
style
of
wearing
the
hair,
will
be
found
exceedingly
troublesome
on
horseback.
Arrange
it
neatly
and
compactly
under
your
hat,
for
if
a
stray
curl
or
lock
annoys
you,
or
is
blown
across
your
eyes
by
the
wind,
your
hands
will
be
too
fully
occupied
to
remedy
the
difficulty.
Your
whip
should
be
light
and
small,
tasteful
if
you
will,
but
not
showy.
At
the
period
for
which
these
hints
are
intended,
the
Modern
Languages
should
form
a
portion
of
acquirement.
As
in
music,
an
intelligent
and
assiduous
girl
may,
I
believe,
acquire
an
adequate
degree
of
proficiency
in
French,
German,
and
Italian,
without
having
been
abroad,
though
a
foreign
tour
will
be
of
the
greatest
use
in
the
acquisition
of
the
accent
and
niceties
of
each
tongue.
With
respect
to
French,
it
is
no
doubt
essential
to
comfort
to
understand
it;
it
is
one
of
the
attributes
of
a
lady
to
speak
it
well;
still,
it
is
not
indispensable
to
speak
it
so
well
that
the
American
lady
is
mistaken
for
a
Parisian.
This,
which
but
seldom
happens,
can
only
be
acquired,
in
most
cases,
by
a
residence
abroad.
But
French
is
thoroughly
and
grammatically
taught
in
America.
It
is
only
the
habit
of
speaking,
the
idioms
and
niceties,
which
cannot
be
acquired
except
by
converse
with
a
native.
There
are
hundreds
of
competent
instructors
in
this
country,
French
ladies
and
gentlemen
amongst
the
number,
who
form
classes
for
conversation
and
familiarizing
their
pupils
with
these
very
idioms.
After
availing
herself
of
such
advantages,
a
young
lady
will
find
that
a
very
short
residence
abroad
will
improve
and
facilitate
her
French
conversation.
