Whatever laxity of _tenue_ has become habitual in private life, surely you can realize that it is very cheap to indulge in it in public, and that the fact that everything is cheap now is no reason for you, who are starting in life, and wish to be distinguished, to follow the fashion.

And when you are at the table, do not lean your elbows upon it! If you have this deplorable modern habit in your own or intimate friends’ houses, for heaven’s sake leave it behind you when you come out! To see a lot of--presumably--ladies lounging all over the cloth, as they lean forward eagerly to talk to their _vis-à-vis_ or the persons next them, is not an engaging sight, and only a few years ago it would have been considered as branding them as belonging to another world. DDLING IN THESE VERY NARROW SKIRTS ALL SELF CONSCIOUS AND PLAINLY AWARE THAT THEY ARE BEING OBSERVED BY THOSE SITTING ON THE CHAIRS AT THE SIDES OF THE HALLS IN A PUBLIC PLACE TRUE BREEDING SHOULD GIVE YOU THE SAME REPOSE AS AT HOME AND ALL BUT YOUR OWN PERSONAL ACQUAINTANCES SHOULD BE APPARENTLY UNOBSERVED SO CAROLINE CULTIVATE THIS UNCONSCIOUS BEARING FINISH YOUR TOILET IN THE WAY OF ADJUSTMENT OF GLOVES ET CETERA ET CETERA BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE DRESSING ROOM AND THEN WALK EASILY AND WITHOUT LOOKING ABOUT YOU TO JOIN YOUR PARTY AND WHEN YOU ARE AT THE TABLE DO NOT LEAN YOUR ELBOWS UPON IT IF YOU HAVE THIS DEPLORABLE MODERN HABIT IN YOUR OWN OR INTIMATE FRIENDS HOUSES FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE LEAVE IT BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU COME OUT TO SEE A LOT OF PRESUMABLY LADIES LOUNGING ALL OVER THE CLOTH AS THEY LEAN FORWARD EAGERLY TO TALK TO THEIR VIZOR V OR THE PERSONS NEXT THEM IS NOT AN ENGAGING SIGHT AND ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED AS BRANDING THEM AS BELONGING TO ANOTHER WORLD
