| | The terpsichorean monitor. By William E. Greene ... |
 | | Should the lady not wish to dance with the person addressing her, she should, as delicately as possible, beg to be excused, and it being ungentlemanly to press a lady to dance, the slightest excuse should suffice. |
 | | A gentleman meeting a lady friend at a grand ball, and wishing to dance with her, should be presented by her escort before taking upon himself the privilege of dancing with her; nor should he engage himself with the same lady friend for any subsequent dance without the approval of the lady's escort. |
 | | The lady in the meantime, after arranging her dress, retires to the ladies sitting room or awaits your arrival at the door of the dressing-room, according as the apartments may be arranged. |
