A comprehensive manual of polite behavior and social ritual presents practical rules for introductions, letters of introduction, visiting, conversation, dress, and household entertaining, with separate guidance tailored to ladies and gentlemen. It offers detailed chapters on courtship, engagement, wedding etiquette, and married life, plus instructions for hosting dinners, carving, toasts, and the duties of a hostess or host. A ballroom guide explains organization, toilette, music, and step-by-step figures for popular dances, while additional sections cover riding, driving, staying with friends, and general hints.
