A lady when dancing.
A lady cannot refuse to dance with any gentleman who invites her unless she has a previous engagement. Young ladies must be careful how they refuse to dance. She should give a good reason, lest the gentleman takes it as a personal dislike. Once a lady refuses, she should not accept another invitation for the same dance.

Lady Moment...11th week/tip
A lady never shouts or raises her voice.
There really isn't too much to add to this one. Just remember to keep your voice controlled.

Lady Moment...10th week/tip
Refrain from staring when observing others/the unpleasant.
A lady never points out negative observations about someones manners, the bad behaviour of someones child, the state of her house or car etc.
She makes people feel at ease, never takes it personally, is never offended if they did not do as she would have done.
She pretends to not notice at the child's bad behaviour, a person's unkempt appearance, knowing that she might have had a bad time at home before she came out.
She never stares when someone chews with their mouth open, talks with their mouth full, spills, knocks over the coffee cup, sneezes, coughs.
She does not stare or point no matter what.

Lady Moments...9th week/tip
A Lady doesn't make jokes at other's expense.
The lady who wrote this states:Even though it has been many years, I can still recollect the painful memories when I was a child, a teenager, a young woman of being laughed at. They could be due to the lack of income, of designer things, lack of sophistication, lack of knowledge of clever things etc.
I get laughed at my inability to speak fluent 'local' Mandarin, for being too skinny, for saying a wrong word etc.
I never want others to ever feel how I felt and go through extra pains to never make anyone feel terrible about themselves. Its better to encourage them.
**From personal experience I too can say that it is no fun to be on the receiving end of someones joke. Sometimes it can take years to overcome and realize that it is not the truth.
Always remember to put yourself in their shoes.
