After all, it's just as rude today to neglect guests or finish someone else's sentences as it was in the nineteenth century.This vintage manual abounds in tips for proper behavior in every situation, from hosting dinner parties (See that no guest is left in silence from the want of attention) and taking public transportation (Make room for others if you see that the opposite side is full) to choosing clothes (Do not be too submissive to the dictates of fashion). Historical context adds a flavorful charm to advice on conducting morning calls and engaging in proper ballroom etiquette. Between its fascinating glimpses of a bygone era and its enduringly sound, common-sense suggestions, this book offers a uniquely instructive guide for navigating life with grace and confidence.
