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

Upon
the
bureau
in
the
ladies'
room,
have
a
supply
of
hair-pins,
and
a
workbox
furnished
with
everything
requisite
to
repair
any
accident
that
may
happen
to
the
dress
of
a
guest.
It
is
well,
also,
to
have
Eau
de
Cologne,
hartshorn,
and
salts,
in
case
of
sudden
faintness.
In
the
gentlemen's
room,
place
a
clothes
brush
and
boot-jack.
It
is
best
to
send
out
your
invitations
by
your
own
servant,
or
one
hired
for
that
purpose
especially.
It
is
ill-bred
to
send
invitations
either
by
the
dispatch,
or
through
the
post-office;
and
besides
being
discourteous,
you
risk
offending
your
friends,
as
these
modes
of
delivery
are
proverbially
uncertain.
Be
dressed
and
ready
to
receive
your
guests
in
good
season,
as
some,
in
their
desire
to
be
punctual,
may
come
before
the
time
appointed.
It
is
better
to
be
ready
too
soon,
than
too
late,
as
your
guests
will
feel
painfully
embarrassed
if
you
are
not
ready
to
receive
them.
For
the
early
part
of
the
evening,
take
a
position
in
your
parlor,
near
or
opposite
to
the
door,
that
each
guest
may
find
you
easily.
It
is
not
necessary
to
remain
all
the
evening
nailed
to
this
one
spot,
but
stay
near
it
until
your
guests
have
all
or
nearly
all
assembled.
Late
comers
will
of
course
expect
to
find
you
entertaining
your
guests.
As
each
guest
or
party
enter
the
room,
advance
a
few
steps
to
meet
them,
speaking
first
to
the
lady,
or
if
there
are
several
ladies,
to
the
eldest,
then
to
the
younger
ones,
and
finally
to
the
gentlemen.
If
the
new
comers
are
acquainted
with
those
already
in
the
room,
they
will
leave
you,
after
a
few
words
of
greeting,
to
join
their
friends;
but
if
they
are
strangers
to
the
city,
or
making
their
first
visit
to
your
house,
introduce
them
to
a
friend
who
is
well
acquainted
in
your
circle,
who
will
entertain
them
till
you
can
again
join
them
and
introduce
them
to
others.
