Excerpt from Club Etiquette: A Conversation Between a Club Woman and a Non-Member Who Answer the Calling Question Over the Tea Cups
I believe, out of consideration for others, in removing the hat in all public assemblies.
I believe in occupying the seat farthest from the aisle when there are others to come, and, for the same reason, occupying front seats first.
I believe that club members should restrain themselves from whispering or the rustling of skirts or papers during club sessions.
I believe no woman should seek or use official position for self aggrandizement, or club affiliations for stepping-stones only, but that she should utilize her opportunities for the altruisms of life.
I believe the character and good name of each individual member of the club should be as sacredly guarded by all other members as are those of the family, and that the use of dishonorable political methods in club life for women will be the death knell of pure, womanly organizations.
I believe the Golden Rule for club women should be - Do right unto others, regardless of what others do unto you.
