The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

Now,
my
friend,
do
not
swing
your
arms.
You
don't
know
what
to
do
with
them?
Your
parasol
takes
one
hand;
hold
your
dress
up
a
little
with
the
other.
Not
so!
No
lady
should
raise
her
dress
above
the
ankle.
Take
care!
don't
drag
your
dress
through
that
mud-puddle!
Worse
and
worse!
If
you
take
hold
of
your
dress
on
both
sides,
in
that
way,
and
drag
it
up
so
high,
you
will
be
set
down
as
a
raw
country
girl.
So.
Raise
it
just
above
the
boot,
all
round,
easily,
letting
it
fall
again
in
the
old
folds.
Don't
shake
it
down;
it
will
fall
back
of
itself.
Stop!
don't
you
see
there
is
a
carriage
coming?
Do
you
want
to
be
thrown
down
by
the
horses?
You
can
run
across?
Very
lady-like
indeed!
Surely
nothing
can
be
more
ungraceful
than
to
see
a
lady
shuffle
and
run
across
a
street.
Wait
until
the
way
is
clear
and
then
walk
slowly
across.
Do
not
try
to
raise
your
skirts.
It
is
better
to
soil
them.
(You
were
very
foolish
to
wear
white
skirts
this
muddy
day.)
They
are
easily
washed,
and
you
cannot
raise
all.
You
will
surely
be
awkward
in
making
the
attempt,
and
probably
fail,
in
spite
of
your
efforts.
True,
they
will
be
badly
soiled,
and
you
expose
this
when
you
raise
the
dress,
but
the
state
of
the
streets
must
be
seen
by
all
who
see
your
share
of
the
dirt,
and
they
will
apologize
for
your
untidy
appearance
in
a
language
distinctly
understood.
