Do
not
remove
all
the
chairs
from
the
parlor;
or,
if
this
is
necessary,
leave
some
in
the
hall,
for
those
who
wish
to
rest
after
dancing.
In
the
dining-room,
unless
it
will
accommodate
all
your
guests
at
once,
have
a
silk
cord
so
fastened
that,
when
the
room
is
full,
it
can
be
drawn
across
the
door-way;
those
following
the
guests
already
in
the
room,
will
then
return
to
the
parlor,
and
wait
their
turn.
A
still
better
way,
is
to
set
the
supper
table
twice,
inviting
the
married
and
elderly
people
to
go
into
the
first
table,
and
then,
after
it
is
ready
for
the
second
time,
let
the
young
folks
go
up.
Two
dressing-rooms
must
be
ready;
one
for
the
ladies,
and
the
other
for
the
gentlemen.
Have
both
these
rooms
comfortably
heated,
and
well
lighted.
Nothing
can
be
more
disagreeable
than
cold,
ill-lighted
rooms
to
dress
in,
particularly
if
your
guests
come
in
half-frozen
by
the
cold
of
a
winter's
night,
or
still
worse,
damp
from
a
stormy
one.
Be
sure
that
there
is
plenty
of
water,
soap
and
towels
on
the
washstand,
two
or
three
brushes
and
combs
on
the
bureau,
two
mirrors,
one
large
and
one
small,
and
a
pin
cushion,
well
filled
with
large
and
small
pins.
In
the
ladies'
room,
have
one,
or
if
your
party
is
large,
two
women
to
wait
upon
your
guests;
to
remove
their
cloaks,
overshoes,
and
hoods,
and
assist
them
in
smoothing
their
dresses
or
hair.
After
each
guest
removes
her
shawl
and
hood,
let
one
of
the
maids
roll
all
the
things
she
lays
aside
into
a
bundle,
and
put
it
where
she
can
easily
find
it.
It
is
an
admirable
plan,
and
prevents
much
confusion,
to
pin
to
each
bundle,
a
card,
or
strip
of
paper,
(previously
prepared,)
with
the
name
of
the
person
to
whom
it
belongs
written
clearly
and
distinctly
upon
it.
