The ladies in our house will occasionally pick from the bookshelf, How to be a Lady, a Contemporary Guide to Common Courtesy. Sometimes it gives us a good laugh and sometimes it pricks our conscience. Here are some entries:~A lady doesn't talk during a performance, a sermon, or a lecture.
~A lady should never ask if she looks fat in something.
~A lady does not whine.
~A lady does not dump the contents of her purse on the table for all to see.
~A lady doesn't wear white shoes before Easter nor after Labor Day.
(see girls, it's actually in print!)
~A lady donates the clothing she no longer wears to those less fortunate than she.
~A lady lets the gentlemen friends in her life know she appreciates their behavior toward her.
More to come.
