The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

There
are
many
little
civilities
which
a
true
gentleman
will
offer
to
a
lady
traveling
alone,
which
she
may
accept,
even
from
an
entire
stranger,
with
perfect
propriety;
but,
while
careful
to
thank
him
courteously,
whether
you
accept
or
decline
his
attentions,
avoid
any
advance
towards
acquaintanceship.
If
he
sits
near
you
and
seems
disposed
to
be
impertinent,
or
obtrusive
in
his
attentions
or
conversation,
lower
your
veil
and
turn
from
him,
either
looking
from
the
window
or
reading.
A
dignified,
modest
reserve
is
the
surest
way
to
repel
impertinence.
If
you
find
yourself,
during
your
journey,
in
any
awkward
or
embarrassing
situation,
you
may,
without
impropriety,
request
the
assistance
of
a
gentleman,
even
a
stranger,
and
he
will,
probably,
perform
the
service
requested,
receive
your
thanks,
and
then
relieve
you
of
his
presence.
Never,
upon
any
account,
or
under
any
provocation,
return
rudeness
by
rudeness.
Nothing
will
rebuke
incivility
in
another
so
surely
as
perfect
courtesy
in
your
own
manner.
Many
will
be
shamed
into
apology,
who
would
annoy
you
for
hours,
if
you
encouraged
them
by
acts
of
rudeness
on
your
own
part.
In
traveling
alone,
choose,
if
possible,
a
seat
next
to
another
lady,
or
near
an
elderly
gentleman.
If
your
neighbor
seems
disposed
to
shorten
the
time
by
conversing,
do
not
be
too
hasty
in
checking
him.
Such
acquaintances
end
with
the
journey,
and
a
lady
can
always
so
deport
herself
that
she
may
beguile
the
time
pleasantly,
without,
in
the
least,
compromising
her
dignity.
Any
slight
attention,
or
an
apology
made
for
crushing
or
incommoding
you,
is
best
acknowledged
by
a
courteous
bow,
in
silence.
