The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness
·
Florence Hartley
67
A
well-bred
lady,
who
is
receiving
several
visitors
at
a
time,
pays
equal
attention
to
all,
and
attempts,
as
much
as
possible,
to
generalize
the
conversation,
turning
to
all
in
succession.
The
last
arrival,
however,
receives
a
little
more
attention
at
first,
than
the
others.
If
it
is
not
agreeable
to
you
to
set
aside
a
day
for
the
especial
reception
of
callers,
and
you
have
a
large
circle
of
acquaintances,
be
ready
to
receive
them
each
day
that
you
are
at
home.
If
you
are
engaged,
let
the
servant
say
so
when
she
opens
the
door,
and
do
not
send
down
that
message
after
your
friend
has
been
admitted.
If
she
is
told
when
she
arrives
that
you
are
engaged,
she
will
understand
that
you
are
denied
to
all
callers,
but
if
that
message
comes
after
she
has
sent
up
her
card,
she
may
draw
the
inference
that
you
will
not
see
her,
though
you
may
see
other
friends.
Never
keep
a
caller
waiting
whilst
you
make
an
elaborate
toilette.
If
you
are
not
ready
for
visitors,
it
is
best
to
enter
the
parlor
in
your
wrapper,
apologizing
for
it,
than
to
keep
your
friend
waiting
whilst
you
change
your
dress.
If
a
stranger
calls,
bringing
a
letter
of
introduction,
and
sends
the
letter,
you
may
read
it
before
going
down
stairs,
but
if
they
wait
till
you
are
in
the
parlor
before
presenting
the
letter,
merely
glance
at
the
signature
and
at
the
name
of
your
caller;
do
not
read
the
letter
through,
unless
it
is
very
short,
or
you
are
requested
by
the
bearer
to
do
so.
