The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

First,
your
dress.
Not
that
scarlet
shawl,
with
a
green
dress,
I
beg,
and--oh!
spare
my
nerves!--you
are
not
so
insane
as
to
put
on
a
blue
bonnet.
That's
right.
If
you
wish
to
wear
the
green
dress,
don
a
black
shawl,
and--that
white
bonnet
will
do
very
well.
One
rule
you
must
lay
down
with
regard
to
a
walking
dress.
It
must
never
be
conspicuous.
Let
the
material
be
rich,
if
you
will;
the
set
of
each
garment
faultless;
have
collar
and
sleeves
snowy
white,
and
wear
neatly-fitting,
whole,
clean
gloves
and
boots.
Every
detail
may
be
scrupulously
attended
to,
but
let
the
whole
effect
be
quiet
and
modest.
Wear
a
little
of
one
bright
color,
if
you
will,
but
not
more
than
one.
Let
each
part
of
the
dress
harmonize
with
all
the
rest;
avoid
the
extreme
of
fashion,
and
let
the
dress
suit
you.
If
you
are
short
and
plump,
do
not
wear
flounces,
because
they
are
fashionable,
and
avoid
large
plaids,
even
if
they
are
the
very
latest
style.
If
tall
and
slight,
do
not
add
to
the
length
of
your
figure
by
long
stripes,
a
little
mantilla,
and
a
caricature
of
a
bonnet,
with
long,
streaming
ribbons.
A
large,
round
face
will
never
look
well,
staring
from
a
tiny,
delicate
bonnet;
nor
will
a
long,
thin
one
stand
the
test
much
better.
Wear
what
is
becoming
to
yourself,
and
only
bow
to
fashion
enough
to
avoid
eccentricity.
To
have
everything
in
the
extreme
of
fashion,
is
a
sure
mark
of
vulgarity.
