A Dallas lady was giving her daughter instructions in etiquette, and how to acquire a husband. “If a gentleman enters the room, etiquette demands that you arise from your seat, and advance a few steps to meet him with a bright, sunny smile.” “But suppose no gentleman ever comes into the room?” “Then of course you don't change your position; you remain just as you are.”— Harper's Magazine, 1887
