4) Never tease to stay when the time comes to go.

5) Don't hinder your chaperon by loitering over your wraps; be ready
when she is, and leave the building with her.




DUTY TO YOUR HOSTESS

_But evil is wrought by want of thought,
As well as want of heart._

--Hood.


1) Before talking with others at a party greet your hostess; then the
older people present; finally, the young people.

2) As a guest you are not expected to say good-by to everybody; but
never leave without saying good-by to your hostess and expressing
appreciation of her efforts to give you pleasure.

3) Coöperate with your hostess in trying to make everyone present happy.
If you fail to pay this courtesy to your hostess, you stamp yourself as
an undesirable guest.

4) If the function is a dance, boys, avoid too many consecutive dances
with the same girl. Confining your attentions noticeably to the same
girl makes her conspicuous and mars the general pleasure.
