If
your
party
meet
for
reading,
have
a
table
with
the
books
in
the
centre
of
the
apartment,
that
will
divide
the
room,
those
reading
being
on
one
side,
the
listeners
on
the
other.
Be
careful
here
not
to
endeavor
to
shine
above
your
guests,
leaving
to
them
the
most
prominent
places,
and
taking,
cheerfully,
a
subordinate
place.
On
the
other
hand,
if
you
are
urged
to
display
any
talent
you
may
possess
in
this
way,
remember
your
only
desire
is
to
please
your
guests,
and
if
they
are
really
desirous
to
listen
to
you,
comply,
gracefully
and
promptly,
with
their
wishes.
If
you
have
dancing,
and
have
not
engaged
a
band,
it
is
best
to
hire
a
pianist
for
the
evening
to
play
dancing
music.
You
will
find
it
exceedingly
wearisome
to
play
yourself
all
the
evening,
and
it
is
ill-bred
to
ask
any
guest
to
play
for
others
to
dance.
This
victimizing
of
some
obliging
guest
is
only
too
common,
but
no
true
lady
will
ever
be
guilty
of
such
rudeness.
If
there
are
several
members
of
the
family
able
and
willing
to
play,
let
them
divide
this
duty
amongst
them,
or,
if
you
wish
to
play
yourself,
do
so.
If
any
guest,
in
this
case,
offers
to
relieve
you,
accept
their
kindness
for
one
dance
only.
Young
people,
who
enjoy
dancing,
but
who
also
play
well,
will
often
stay
on
the
piano-stool
all
the
evening,
because
their
own
good-nature
will
not
allow
them
to
complain,
and
their
hostess
wilfully,
or
through
negligence,
permits
the
tax.
