Don't, when drawing a trick towards you, pause in the act to smile
disdainfully upon your opponents. They may not admire a spectacular
arrangement of your features, and if they happen to be in a bad humor
your facial expression may be ruined for life.

Don't labor under the erroneous impression that your opponents have no
right to trump your ace if they can. Neither is it considered elegant or
refined to hit them carelessly across the forehead with the bric-a-brac
for so doing.

Don't make an earnest endeavor to split the table asunder when playing a
winning card. People may think you are eccentric if you try to make
kindling wood of the table every time you lay down an honor.

Don't lead the three of clubs in mistake for the ace of trumps, and then
get mad and jump seventeen feet in the air because you are not permitted

uncomplimentary remarks from your opponents and sometimes occasions the
use of a club.

Don't fall off the chair in horrified dismay when your opponent puts
your ace to sleep with a little trump. Trumps were invented for that
purpose, and horrified dismay is not becoming to every style of beauty.

climbs out over his collar, and who shows symptoms of being dazed and
