The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

A
knowledge
of
domestic
duties
is
beyond
all
price
to
a
woman.
Every
one
of
the
sex
ought
to
know
how
to
sew,
and
knit,
and
mend,
and
cook,
and
superintend
a
household.
In
every
situation
of
life,
high
or
low,
this
sort
of
knowledge
is
of
great
advantage.
There
is
no
necessity
that
the
gaining
of
such
information
should
interfere
with
intellectual
acquirement
or
even
elegant
accomplishment.
A
well-regulated
mind
can
find
time
to
attend
to
all.
When
a
girl
is
nine
or
ten
years
old,
she
should
be
accustomed
to
take
some
regular
share
in
household
duties,
and
to
feel
responsible
for
the
manner
in
which
her
part
is
performed--such
as
her
own
mending,
washing
the
cups
and
putting
them
in
place,
cleaning
silver,
or
dusting
and
arranging
the
parlor.
This
should
not
be
done
occasionally,
and
neglected
whenever
she
finds
it
convenient--she
should
consider
it
her
department.
When
older
than
twelve,
girls
should
begin
to
take
turns
in
superintending
the
household--making
puddings,
pies,
cakes,
&c.
To
learn
effectually,
they
should
actually
do
these
themselves,
and
not
stand
by
and
see
others
do
them.
Many
a
husband
has
been
ruined
for
want
of
these
domestic
qualities
in
a
wife--and
many
a
husband
has
been
saved
from
ruin
by
his
wife
being
able
to
manage
well
the
household
concerns.
It
is
a
mark,
not
only
of
ill-breeding,
but
of
positive
want
of
feeling
and
judgment,
to
speak
disparagingly
of
a
physician
to
one
of
his
patients.
Many
persons,
visiting
an
invalid
friend,
will
exclaim
loudly
against
the
treatment
pursued,
recommend
a
different
doctor,
and
add
to
the
sufferings
of
the
patient
by
their
injudicious
remarks
upon
the
medicines
or
practice
used.
