7) When you call on a girl, you shouldn't remain after ten o'clock even
though the girl wants you to. Girls, you should not urge. And, girls,

8) A gift you should acknowledge at once and cordially. But, boys, let

your part.

10) Girls, it is poor policy to call up boys often by telephone, and bad
manners to whistle to attract their attention.

11) For you to sit at a social gathering with hat and coat on,
girls,--even though you must leave in a few moments,--is discourteous
both to your hostess and to the other guests.
