About This Book

This volume provides comprehensive, practical rules of social etiquette and self-presentation for polite society. It addresses introductions, salutations, the art of conversation, visiting cards and customs, invitations, courtship and marriage, weddings, and funeral observances. Practical guidance covers hosting and attending parties, table manners, dances and entertainments, public behavior, travel and modes of transport including bicycling, club conduct, and etiquette for children. Chapters on dress, color and personal appearance, letter-writing with sample forms, and artistic home decoration complete the household reference.

Transcriber’s Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variations in hyphenation and accents have been standardised but all other spelling and punctuation remains unchanged.

There are several illustrations of visiting and invitation cards in the book. An appendix has been added containing the plain text of these.

The cover has been created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
