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

The
best
way
to
overcome
the
selfishness
and
rudeness
you
sometimes
meet
with
on
public
occasions,
is,
by
great
politeness
and
disinterestedness
on
your
part;
overcome
evil
with
good,
and
you
will
satisfy
your
own
conscience,
and,
perhaps,
touch
theirs.
Contending
for
your
rights
stirs
up
the
selfish
feelings
in
others;
but
a
readiness
to
yield
them
awakens
generous
sentiments,
and
leads
to
mutual
accommodation.
The
more
refined
you
are,
and
the
greater
have
been
your
advantages,
the
more
polite
and
considerate
you
should
be
toward
others,
the
more
ready
to
give
place
to
some
poor,
uneducated
girl,
who
knows
no
better
than
to
push
herself
directly
in
your
way.
Politeness
is
as
necessary
to
a
happy
intercourse
with
the
inhabitants
of
the
kitchen,
as
with
those
of
the
parlor;
it
lessens
the
pains
of
service,
promotes
kind
feelings
on
both
sides,
and
checks
unbecoming
familiarity;
always
thank
them
for
what
they
do
for
you,
and
always
ask
rather
than
command
their
services.
