The Amateur's Preceptor on Dancing Etiquette #263790

If a gentleman wishes to dance with any lady with whom he is unacquainted, it is proper for the gentle man to apply to the Master of Ceremonies for an introduction. It is highly indecorous in either lady or gentle man to give way to immoderate laughing, comment ing or sneering at those who are present. If you are not pleased with the company you may be in, better to withdraw at once.
