A lady at a ball should not burden a gentleman with her gloves, fan and bouquet to hold while she dances, unless he is her husband or brother. Amateur musicians should commit a few pieces to memory. If they carry music along, it has an appearance of conceit, but if they are asked to play or sing, it is ungracious to refuse. Do not place your arm on the back of a chair occupied by a lady. Ladies do not pass in or out of the general entrance of a hotel, but by the ladies' entrance only.
Ladies can make each other's acquaintance in the hotel parlor, or at the table.
It is optional with them how far its carried. It is not polite at a wedding to congratulate the bride. She should receive wishes for her future happiness. When servants at a hotel are disrespectful, lay a complaint before the proprietor. Orders to servants should be given in a pleasant tone, without a shade of familiarity.
