THANK YOU !

Answer 1

A lady carries her self with class and good taste. She is pleasent and polite. It is not hard to be a lady..it is really about having respect for yoursef, and for others as well.

Answer 2

See if your public library has any of the publications by Debrett's on etiquette. Debrett is one the arbiters of good manners, and has a brand-new book out especially aimed at young women called 'Etiquette for Girls'.

I would say some good manners for anyone are to avoid being loud, dressing like a tart, using foul language, and using a mobile phone in inappropriate situations. This morning at a Remembrance Sunday service I was appalled by a cretin talking into his mobile during the hymn.

I think the most beautiful aspect of a woman is her warmth...her vulnerability...her sweetness that so many women have lost...they think they are too good for most people...just be yourself...the rest should come easily...
