From the Publick Ledger. A Card to the Managers of the
Assembly at Haberdashers-Hall.
The young ladies frequenting the Assembly at Haberdashers-
Hall, present their compliments to the managers, beg that
the ensuing season they will make certain conditions in the
admission of young gentlemen, who are desirous of becoming
subscribers, to oblige them to dance; as at present, by the
laziness and incivility of the beaux, many ladies, who are
very fond of the amusement, are disappointed of their
evening's amusement, as many, instead of devoting themselves
to the service of the ladies, are utterly inattentive to
them, and associate in parties to converse about their
horses and dogs, not to mentioned other indelicacies.
N.B. Some of the new members who have taken particular
pains to get admitted, and who were taken in, that the
ladies might be accommodated with partners, are now totally
negligent of their duty, and seem to prize themselves in the
disappointment of the ladies.
The gentlemen who are managers for the night are desired
to give their ticket to none, but such who have politeness
enough to devote themselves to the service of the ladies.
The ladies return their particular thanks to the
following gentlemen for their great attention and civility
at the last assembly on Thursday the 15th instant. . . [3
