you are out walking with a lady, don't

know she will run off home. Notice just
how she walks and modulate your gait

you meet a rival young gentleman at her

as possible to him; crush him, if YOU can,
with courtesy. Never laugh Loud in a
parlor, and remember to speak low. It's

on them, study their little p%eculiarities,
be always ready to escort them any
