If
the
evening
of
your
party
is
stormy,
let
a
waiter
stand
in
the
vestibule
with
a
large
umbrella,
to
meet
the
ladies
at
the
carriage
door,
and
protect
them
whilst
crossing
the
pavement
and
steps.
When
your
guests
take
leave
of
you,
it
will
be
in
the
drawing-room,
and
let
that
farewell
be
final.
Do
not
accompany
them
to
the
dressing-room,
and
never
stop
them
in
the
hall
for
a
last
word.
Many
ladies
do
not
like
to
display
their
"sortie
du
soiree"
before
a
crowded
room,
and
you
will
be
keeping
their
escort
waiting.
Say
farewell
in
the
parlor,
and
do
not
repeat
it.
If
your
party
is
mixed,
that
is,
conversation,
dancing,
and
music
are
all
mingled,
remember
it
is
your
place
to
invite
a
guest
to
sing
or
play,
and
be
careful
not
to
offend
any
amateur
performers
by
forgetting
to
invite
them
to
favor
the
company.
If
they
decline,
never
urge
the
matter.
If
the
refusal
proceeds
from
unwillingness
or
inability
on
that
occasion,
it
is
rude
to
insist;
and
if
they
refuse
for
the
sake
of
being
urged,
they
will
be
justly
punished
by
a
disappointment.
If
you
have
guests
who,
performing
badly,
will
expect
an
invitation
to
play,
sacrifice
their
desire
to
the
good
of
the
others,
pass
them
by.
It
is
torture
to
listen
to
bad
music.
Do
not
ask
a
guest
to
sing
or
play
more
than
once.
This
is
her
fair
share,
and
you
have
no
right
to
tax
her
too
severely
to
entertain
your
other
guests.
If,
however,
the
performance
is
so
pleasing
that
others
ask
for
a
repetition,
then
you
too
may
request
it,
thanking
the
performer
for
the
pleasure
given.
