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

Remember
that
a
lady-like
deportment
is
always
modest
and
quiet.
If
you
meet
a
friend
at
table,
and
converse,
let
it
be
in
a
tone
of
voice
sufficiently
loud
for
him
to
hear,
but
not
loud
enough
to
reach
ears
for
which
the
remarks
are
not
intended.
A
boisterous,
loud
voice,
loud
laughter,
and
bold
deportment,
at
a
hotel,
are
sure
signs
of
vulgar
breeding.
When
you
have
finished
your
meal,
cross
the
room
quietly;
if
you
go
into
the
parlor,
do
not
attract
attention
by
a
hasty
entrance,
or
forward
manner,
but
take
the
seat
you
may
select,
quietly.
The
acquaintances
made
in
a
hotel
may
be
dropped
afterwards,
if
desirable,
without
rudeness,
and
a
pleasant
greeting
to
other
ladies
whom
you
may
recognize
from
meeting
them
in
the
entries
or
at
table,
is
courteous
and
well-bred;
be
careful,
however,
not
to
force
attentions
where
you
see
they
are
not
agreeably
received.
A
lady's
dress,
when
alone
at
a
hotel,
should
be
of
the
most
modest
kind.
At
breakfast
let
her
wear
a
close,
morning
dress,
and
never,
even
at
supper,
appear
alone
at
the
table
with
bare
arms
or
neck.
If
she
comes
in
late
from
the
opera
or
a
party,
in
full
dress,
she
should
not
come
into
the
supper-room,
unless
her
escort
accompanies
her.
A
traveling
or
walking-dress
can
be
worn
with
perfect
propriety,
at
any
meal
at
a
hotel,
as
it
is
usually
travelers
who
are
the
guests
at
the
table.
After
breakfast,
pass
an
hour
or
two
in
the
parlor,
unless
you
are
going
out,
whilst
the
chambermaid
puts
your
room
in
order.
You
should,
before
leaving
the
room,
lock
your
trunk,
and
be
careful
not
to
leave
money
or
trinkets
lying
about.
When
you
go
out,
lock
your
door,
and
give
the
key
to
the
servant
to
hand
to
the
clerk
of
the
office,
who
will
give
it
to
you
when
you
return.
You
may
do
this,
even
if
you
leave
the
room
in
disorder,
as
the
chambermaids
all
carry
duplicate
keys,
and
can
easily
enter
your
room
in
your
absence
to
arrange
it.
The
door
should
not
be
left
open,
as
dishonest
persons,
passing
along
the
entry,
could
enter
without
fear
of
being
questioned.
