To Do Exactly As Your Neighbors Do

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.

Manner Is Personality—the Outward Manifestation Of One’s Innate Character And Attitude Toward Life.

Never Take More Than Your Share - Whether Of The Road In Driving Your Car, Of Chairs On A Boat Or Seats On A Train, Or Food At The Table.

Manners Are Made Up Of Trivialities Of Deportment Which Can Be Easily Learned If One Does Not Happen To Know Them.

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