RULE
I.
That
meetings
be
held
in
rotation
at
each
member's
house,
for
the
enjoyment
of
conversation;
music,
grave
and
gay;
dancing,
gay
only;
and
card-playing
at
limited
stakes.
RULE
II.
That
such
meetings
commence
at
seven
and
end
about
or
after
twelve,
and
that
members
and
guests
be
requested
to
remember
that
punctuality
has
been
called
the
politeness
of
kings.
RULE
III.
That
as
gentlemen
are
allowed
for
the
whole
season
to
appear,
like
the
raven,
in
one
suit,
ladies
are
to
have
the
like
privilege;
and
that
no
lady
be
allowed
to
quiz
or
notice
the
habits
of
another
lady;
and
that
demi-toilette
in
dress
be
considered
the
better
taste
in
the
family
circle;
not
that
the
writer
wishes
to
raise
or
lower
the
proper
standard
of
ladies'
dress,
which
ought
to
be
neither
too
high
nor
too
low,
but
at
a
happy
medium.
RULE
IV.
That
any
lady
infringing
the
last
rule
be
liable
to
reproof
by
the
oldest
lady
present
at
the
meeting,
if
the
oldest
lady,
like
the
oldest
inhabitant,
can
be
discovered.
RULE
V.
That
every
member
or
guest,
be
requested
to
bring
with
them
their
own
vocal,
instrumental,
or
dance
music,
and
take
it
away
with
them,
if
possible,
to
avoid
loss
and
confusion.
RULE
VI.
That
no
member
or
guest,
able
to
sing,
play,
or
dance,
refuse,
unless
excused
by
medical
certificate;
and
that
no
cold
or
sore
throat
be
allowed
to
last
more
than
a
week.
RULE
VII.
That
as
every
member
or
guest
known
to
be
able
to
sing,
play,
or
dance,
is
bound
to
do
so
if
requested,
the
performer
(especially
if
timid)
is
to
be
kindly
criticized
and
encouraged;
it
being
a
fact
well
known,
that
the
greatest
masters
of
an
art
are
always
the
most
lenient
critics,
from
their
deep
knowledge
of
the
feeling,
intelligence,
and
perseverance
required
to
at
all
approach
perfection.
