part, unless you are requested to prolone
your stay.
Be stone blind, deaf AID dumb to all
family matters of an unpleasant nature IL

be late is disrespect to your hostess-bad
form for yourself
Never interfere with interiors when Wis
iting. 1t is breach of good manners
To be constantly correcting your hostess
children will in time make you an objec-
tionablo visitor. Mothers resent this.
Always express a willingness to retire
at the family bedtime. In your own room
you can remain up as long as you choose.
All visitors should recollect that the
evenings belong to their host and hostess,
and they are expected to add to their en-.
joyment.
the bookroom unless permission Is asked.
When finished, return them to their
shelves.
To ask questions of private nature is
very bad form.
Recollect the hosts chair and the host 8
desk are not to be invaded.
1t is bad form to lounge on sofas all
times in the day, reading novels and tax
ing no interest in those around you You
are a visitor, and formality should DO OBJ
served. Besides you are expected to DO
entertaining.
Absent yourself some hours in the morn
ing, so that the mistress of the house will
have a chance to settle her affairs. This
sort of consideration is appreciated
1t "a pleasure is proposed, accept it. You
are expected to be entertained.
Be agreeable to all guests, whether you
like them or not.
Recollect that the amenities of life are
many But by abiding by them you are
saved many trials, many annoyances.
