Manners Are Made Up Of Trivialities Of

Courtesy Demands That You, When You Are A Guest, Shall Show Neither Annoyance Nor Disappointment--no Matter What Happens.

People Who Picnic Along The Public Highway Leaving A Clutter Of Greasy Paper And Swill (not A Pretty Name, But Neither Is It A Pretty Object!) For Other People To Walk Or Drive Past, And To Make A Breeding Place For Flies, And Furnish Nourishment For Rats, Choose A Disgusting Way To Repay The Land-owner For The Liberty They Took In Temporarily Occupying His Property.

Excepting A Religious Ceremonial, There Is No Occasion Where Greater Dignity Of Manner Is Required Of Ladies And Gentlemen Both, Than In Occupying A Box At The Opera. For A Gentleman Especially No Other Etiquette Is So Exacting.

Never So Long As You Live, Write A Letter To A Man - No Matter Who He Is - That You Would Be Ashamed To See In A Newspaper Above Your Signature.

Never Think, Because You Cannot Write A Letter Easily, That It Is Better Not To Write At All. The Most Awkward Note Imaginable Is Better Than None.
