Avoid
all
confidential
communications
or
private
remarks
in
the
dressing-room.
You
may
be
overheard,
and
give
pain
or
cause
annoyance
by
your
untimely
conversation.
When
you
enter
the
parlor,
go
immediately
to
your
hostess,
and
speak
to
her;
if
the
gentleman
attending
you
is
a
stranger
to
the
lady
of
the
house,
introduce
him,
and
then
join
the
other
guests,
as
by
delaying,
to
converse
too
long
with
your
hostess,
you
may
prevent
her
speaking
to
others
who
have
arrived
later
than
yourself.
If
you
have
no
escort,
you
may
with
perfect
propriety
send
for
the
master
of
the
house,
to
wait
upon
you
from
the
dressing-room
to
the
parlor,
and
as
soon
as
you
have
spoken
to
the
hostess,
thank
your
host
and
release
him,
as
the
same
attention
may
be
required
by
others.
Again,
when
alone,
if
you
meet
a
friend
in
the
dressing-room,
you
may
ask
the
privilege
of
entering
the
parlor
with
her
and
her
escort;
or,
if
she
also
is
alone,
there
is
no
impropriety
in
two
ladies
going
into
the
room
unattended
by
a
gentleman.
While
you
maintain
a
cheerful
deportment,
avoid
loud
talking
and
laughing,
and
still
more
carefully
avoid
any
action
or
gesture
that
may
attract
attention
and
make
you
conspicuous.
When
dressing
for
a
party,
while
you
show
that
you
honor
the
occasion
by
a
tasteful
dress,
avoid
glaring
colors,
or
any
conspicuous
ornament
or
style
of
costume.
Avoid
long
tete-a-tete
conversations;
they
are
in
bad
taste,
and
to
hold
confidential
communication,
especially
with
gentlemen,
is
still
worse.
