Enquire
of
your
visitor
if
there
is
any
particular
habit
she
may
wish
to
indulge
in,
such
as
rising
late,
retiring
early,
lying
down
in
the
daytime,
or
any
other
habit
that
your
family
do
not
usually
follow.
If
there
is,
arrange
it
so
that
she
may
enjoy
her
peculiarity
in
comfort.
If
there
is
any
dish
which
is
distasteful
to
her,
avoid
placing
it
upon
the
table
during
her
visit,
and
if
she
mentions,
in
conversation,
any
favorite
dish,
have
it
frequently
placed
before
her.
If
she
is
accustomed
to
eat
just
before
retiring,
and
your
family
do
not
take
supper,
see
that
something
is
sent
to
her
room
every
night.
If
your
friend
has
intimate
friends
in
the
same
city,
beside
yourself,
it
is
an
act
of
kindly
courtesy
to
invite
them
to
dinner,
tea,
or
to
pass
a
day,
and
when
calls
are
made,
and
you
see
that
it
would
be
pleasant,
invite
the
caller
to
remain
to
dinner
or
tea.
Never
accept
any
invitation,
either
to
a
party,
ball,
or
public
entertainment,
that
does
not
include
your
guest.
In
answering
the
invitation
give
that
as
your
reason
for
declining,
when
another
note
will
be
sent
enclosing
an
invitation
for
her.
If
the
invitation
is
from
an
intimate
friend,
say,
in
answering
it,
that
your
guest
is
with
you,
and
that
she
will
accompany
you.
It
is
a
mistaken
idea
to
suppose
that
hospitality
and
courtesy
require
constant
attention
to
a
guest.
There
are
times
when
she
may
prefer
to
be
alone,
either
to
write
letters,
to
read,
or
practice.
Some
ladies
follow
a
guest
from
one
room
to
another,
never
leaving
them
alone
for
a
single
instant,
when
they
would
enjoy
an
hour
or
two
in
the
library
or
at
the
piano,
but
do
not
like
to
say
so.
