A Gentleman Should Never Take His Hat

Children Are All More Or Less Little Monkeys In That They Imitate Everything They See. If Their Mother Treats Them Exactly As She Does Her Visitors They In Turn Play "visitor" To Perfection. Nothing Hurts The Feelings Of Children More Than Not Being Allowed To Behave Like Grown Persons When They Think They Are Able.

Etiquette Requires The Presumption Of Good Until The Contrary Is Proved.

The Joy Of Joys Is The Person Of Light But Unmalicious Humor. If You Know Any One Who Is Gay, Beguiling And Amusing, You Will, If You Are Wise, Do Everything You Can To Make Him Prefer Your House And Your Table To Any Other; For Where He Is, The Successful Party Is Also.

The Good Guest Is Almost Invisible, Enjoying Him Or Herself, Communing With Fellow Guests, And, Most Of All, Enjoying The Generous Hospitality Of The Hosts.

Nothing Is Less Important Than Which Fork You Use. Etiquette Is The Science Of Living. It Embraces Everything. It Is Ethics. It Is Honor.
