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

True
politeness
is
the
language
of
a
good
heart,
and
those
possessing
that
heart
will
never,
under
any
circumstances,
be
rude.
They
may
not
enter
a
crowded
saloon
gracefully;
they
may
be
entirely
ignorant
of
the
forms
of
good
society;
they
may
be
awkward
at
table,
ungrammatical
in
speech;
but
they
will
never
be
heard
speaking
so
as
to
wound
the
feelings
of
another;
they
will
never
be
seen
making
others
uncomfortable
by
seeking
solely
for
their
own
personal
convenience;
they
will
always
endeavor
to
set
every
one
around
them
at
ease;
they
will
be
self-sacrificing,
friendly,
unselfish;
truly
in
word
and
deed,
polite.
Give
to
such
a
woman
the
knowledge
of
the
forms
and
customs
of
society,
teach
her
how
best
to
show
the
gentle
courtesies
of
life,
and
you
have
a
lady,
created
by
God,
only
indebted
for
the
outward
polish
to
the
world.
It
is
true
that
society
demands
this
same
unselfishness
and
courtesy,
but
when
there
is
no
heart
in
the
work,
the
time
is
frittered
away
on
the
mere
ceremonies,
forms
of
etiquette,
and
customs
of
society,
and
this
politeness
seeks
only
its
own
ends;
to
be
known
as
courteous,
spoken
of
as
lady-like,
and
not
beloved
as
unselfish
and
womanly.
Etiquette
exists
in
some
form
in
all
countries,
has
existed
and
will
exist
in
all
ages.
From
the
rudest
savage
who
dares
not
approach
his
ignorant,
barbarous
ruler
without
certain
forms
and
ceremonies,
to
the
most
polished
courts
in
Europe,
or
the
home
circles
of
America,
etiquette
reigns.
