The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

If
your
friend
is
at
home,
after
sending
your
card
up
to
her
by
the
servant,
go
into
the
parlor
to
wait
for
her.
Sit
down
quietly,
and
do
not
leave
your
seat
until
you
rise
to
meet
her
as
she
enters
the
room.
To
walk
about
the
parlor,
examining
the
ornaments
and
pictures,
is
ill-bred.
It
is
still
more
unlady-like
to
sit
down
and
turn
over
to
read
the
cards
in
her
card
basket.
If
she
keeps
you
waiting
for
a
long
time,
you
may
take
a
book
from
the
centre-table
to
pass
away
the
interval.
Never,
while
waiting
in
a
friend's
parlor,
go
to
the
piano
and
play
till
she
comes.
This
is
a
breach
of
good-breeding
often
committed,
and
nothing
can
be
more
ill-bred.
You
may
be
disturbing
an
invalid
unawares,
or
you
may
prevent
your
friend,
if
she
has
children,
from
coming
down
stairs
at
all,
by
waking
the
baby.
If
you
are
a
stranger
in
the
city,
and
bring
a
letter
of
introduction
to
your
hostess,
send
this
letter
up
stairs
with
your
card,
that
she
may
read
it,
and
know
how
to
welcome
you
when
she
comes
down
stairs.
In
this
case,
write
upon
the
card
the
name
of
the
hotel
at
which
you
are
staying,
and
mention
in
the
course
of
conversation,
how
long
you
will
be
in
the
city.
If
you
have
a
visitor,
and
desire
to
introduce
her
to
your
friends,
you
may
invite
her
to
accompany
you
when
paying
calls.
