1932 The Mirror Washington's Rules of Civility Every action in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those present. Be no flatterer, neither play with anyone that delights not to be played with. Read no letters, books or papers in company, but when there is a necessity for doing it, you may ask leave. t'ome not near books or writings so as to read them unless desired nor give your opinion of them unasked, also, look not nigh when another is writing a letter. Sleep not when others speak, sit not when others stand, speak not when you should hold your peace. Show not yourself glad at the misfortune of another, though he were your enemy. Undertake not what you cannot perform, but be careful to keep your promise. Let your discourse with men of business be short and comprehensive. Undertake not to teach your equal in the art he himself professesg it savors of arrogancy. Mock not nor jest at anything of importance, make no jests that are sharpbiting, and if you deliver anything witty and pleasant, abstain from laughing thereat yourself. Wherein you reprove another be unblamable yourself g for example is far more prevalent than precepts. Use no reproachful language against anyone, neither curse nor revile. Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the disparagcment of any. Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for it is better to be alone than in bad company. Be not angry at table, Whatever happens, and, if you have reason to be so, show it not, put on a cheerful countenance, especially if there be strangers, for good humor makes one dish of meat a feast. Let your recreations be manful, not sinful. 'Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience. Page Eleven
