How to make a party pleasant: Party etiquette for the gentleman from an 1800s handbook on manners...

- Etiquette Guide: These are of two kinds, large and small. For the first, you will receive a formal card, containing the compliments of your hostess for a certain evening, and this calls for full dress, a dress coat, and white or very light gloves.
- Modern Translation: Someone will blast something out on social media. Make sure you show up wearing clothes and don't dis whoever is throwing the party

- Etiquette Guide: If you are to act as escort to a lady, you must call at the hour she chooses to name, and the most elegant way is to take a carriage for her.
- Modern Translation: Pull up with your music blasting and honk the horn. Flip off anyone that looks at you for more than three seconds (unless it's your girl .. then waggle your tongue at her).

- Etiquette Guide: When you reach the house of your hostess for the evening, escort your companion to the dressing-room, and leave her at the door. After you have deposited your own hat and great-coat in the gentlemen’s dressing room, return to the ladies’ door and wait for your companion.
- Modern Translation: That ho is on her own. Tell her not to cramp your style and go hang with your bros.

- Etiquette Guide: There is one piece of rudeness very common at parties, against which I would caution you. Young people very often form a group, and indulge in the most boisterous merriment and loud laughter, for jests known only to themselves. Do not join such a group. A well-bred man, while he is cheerful and gay, will avoid any appearance of romping in society.
- Modern Translation: Get with your bros and dominate the keg! Be the center of attention and ridicule anyone not in your group.

Boy, talk about forgotten rules and etiquette !

I’m a Poole Party everywhere I go! So I’m good!!!!
