Household Companion: The Home Book Of Etiquette
- Every one has a smile and a helping hand for the courteous man or
woman, while the rude person, even if mistaken through ignorance,
offends everybody. Ordinary politeness is so much governed by custom
that it is easy for anyone to learn and use in every-day life; and all
these rules are given in this book sensibly as practised by the best
society. The etiquette of conversation, parties of all kinds,
visiting, receiving guests, weddings, funerals, and all private and
public occasions, is made clear and easy to follow with
confidence. There are also valuable instructions in the art of
letter-writing, and what to wear on all occasions.
