CHAPTER
VII.
VISITING.
ETIQUETTE
FOR
THE
HOSTESS.
When
you
write
to
invite
a
friend
to
visit
you,
name
a
time
when
it
will
be
convenient
and
agreeable
for
you
to
receive
her,
and
if
she
accepts
your
invitation,
so
arrange
your
duties
and
engagements
that
they
will
not
interfere
with
your
devoting
the
principal
part
of
your
time
to
the
entertainment
of
your
guest.
If
you
have
certain
duties
which
must
be
performed
daily,
say
so
frankly
when
she
first
arrives,
and
see
that
during
the
time
you
are
so
occupied
she
has
work,
reading,
music,
or
some
other
employment,
to
pass
the
time
away
pleasantly.
Have
a
room
prepared
especially
for
her
use,
and
let
her
occupy
it
alone.
Many
persons
have
a
dislike
to
any
one
sleeping
with
them,
and
will
be
kept
awake
by
a
companion
in
the
room
or
bed.
Above
all,
do
not
put
a
child
to
sleep
in
the
chamber
with
your
guest.
The
day
before
your
friend
arrives,
have
her
room
swept,
dusted,
and
aired;
put
clean,
fresh
linen
upon
the
bed,
see
that
the
curtains
are
in
good
order,
the
locks
in
perfect
repair,
and
the
closet
or
wardrobe
and
bureau
empty
for
her
clothes.
Have
upon
the
bureau
a
pin
cushion
well
filled,
hair
pins,
brush
and
comb,
and
two
mirrors,
one
large,
and
one
small
for
the
hand,
as
she
may
wish
to
smooth
her
hair,
without
unpacking
her
own
toilet
articles.
Upon
the
washstand,
have
two
pitchers
full
of
water,
a
cup,
tumbler,
soap-dish
and
soap,
basin,
brush-dish,
and
a
sponge,
wash
rag,
and
plenty
of
clean
towels.
