The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

See
that
your
guests
are
well
provided
with
partners,
introducing
every
gentleman
and
lady
who
dances,
to
one
who
will
dance
well
with
them.
Be
careful
that
none
sit
still
through
your
negligence
in
providing
partners.
Do
not
dance
yourself,
when,
by
so
doing,
you
are
preventing
a
guest
from
enjoying
that
pleasure.
If
a
lady
is
wanted
to
make
up
a
set,
then
dance,
or
if,
late
in
the
evening,
you
have
but
few
lady
dancers
left,
but
do
not
interfere
with
the
pleasure
in
others.
If
invited,
say
that
you
do
not
wish
to
take
the
place
of
a
guest
upon
the
floor,
and
introduce
the
gentleman
who
invites
you
to
some
lady
friend
who
dances.
It
is
very
pleasant
in
a
dancing
party
to
have
ices
alone,
handed
round
at
about
ten
o'clock,
having
supper
set
two
or
three
hours
later.
They
are
very
refreshing,
when
it
would
be
too
early
to
have
the
more
substantial
supper
announced.
It
is
very
customary
now,
even
in
large
parties,
to
have
no
refreshments
but
ice-cream,
lemonade,
and
cake,
or,
in
summer,
fruit,
cake,
and
ices.
It
is
less
troublesome,
as
well
as
less
expensive,
than
a
hot
supper,
and
the
custom
will
be
a
good
one
to
adopt
permanently.
One
word
of
warning
to
all
hostesses.
You
can
never
know,
when
you
place
wine
or
brandy
before
your
guests,
whom
you
may
be
tempting
to
utter
ruin.
Better,
far
better,
to
have
a
reputation
as
strict,
or
mean,
than
by
your
example,
or
the
temptation
you
offer,
to
have
the
sin
upon
your
soul
of
having
put
poison
before
those
who
partook
of
your
hospitality.
It
is
not
necessary;
hospitality
and
generosity
do
not
require
it,
and
you
will
have
the
approval
of
all
who
truly
love
you
for
your
good
qualities,
if
you
resolutely
refuse
to
have
either
wine
or
any
other
intoxicating
liquor
upon
your
supper-table.
