, Pertinent
.. r'J rules for those
behs*
introductions.
When invited to a party you
can address any one you may

i^uccon; the general intro
duct.on as you enter the room is
sufficient, and all are supposed
inv^P?naneqUalit3'when "?U8

little to give her time to read it.
RECOGNITIONS AND 6ALUTA
, TIONS.
The superior in rank and sta
tion should first salute the in
ferior; great intimacy may oc
casionally warrant the disregard
of this regulation.
If you meet a lady in the street
and offer your hand, do not per
'VakiB* your ?love off
first if there is any difficulty in
so doing.
On meeting a lady in the street
do not detain her. but walk by
her side during the communica
tion. You will, of course, raise
your hat in bidding her adieu,
which should be at the corner of
the street.
If you speak for a short time
to a lady in the open air, intend
ing to leave her directly, remain
uncovered, unless she twice de
sires you to put on your hat.
If a lady with whom you are
walking should be bowed to, you
will return the salute. Use that
hand which is the most distant
from the person saluted ; if on
the right of the lady, use your
right hand, and vice ferns.
Let your salutation denote the
degree of your respect for the
person saluted.
If a gentleman raises his hat'
when saluting you, never fail *
do the same. Merely motioning
toward the nat is usually suffi
cient.
DRESS AND FASHION.
Let your dress harmonize
with your appearance. The
same style of the hair, color of
the cravat or cut of the coat may
appear preposterous in one in
dividual and appear elegant in
another.
Let your jewelry be remarka
ble for its taste and intrinsic
excellence ; select and not osten-.
tatious in its ubundance.
Clean linen, white as snow, is
indispensable if you wish to sup
port the appearance of a gentle
man. A bad coat, hat or boots
may be worn by a decayed gen
tleman, but dirty lien never ; it
would remove him from his
order.
Keep your finger nails scrupu
lously clean, particularly in
ladies' company.
Always wear your gloves at
church.
In the boxen of a theatre, in a
concert room, or upon sitting
down in a public refectory, re
move your hat. This is one of
those little observances that in
variably accompanies true polite
ness.
Do not affect singularity of
dress by wearing anything that
is so conspicuous as to demand
attention ; particularly avoid the
ruffian style, which requires great
elegance of manner and decision
of conduct to prevent the dress
characterizing the wearer.
CONVERSATION.
At all times avoid a loud tone
of voice, but particularly In ad
dressing ladies. Observe men of
the world and you will perceive
tha', however mild their ordina
ry address, their voice assumes
an increased softness in address
ing the other sex.
When addressing any one, al
ways look at him ; and if several
present, address portions of yon r
conversation to each one.
In company endeavor to know
something about those you are
with, for fear any of your re.
marks might (jive offense. Do
not ask questions of those you
are not acquainted with?they
might be inconvenient to answer.
Never speak of private matters
in company unless you previous
ly explain the business you wish
to converse about, and to a new
comer in the party explain your
subject before you continue to
converse upon it.
Never laugh at your own re
marks ; it may be a very
agreeable excitation, but it in
variably spoils what you are say
ing.
be sparing of anecdote. I
Do not attempt to relate every
particular, but seize upon the
grand points. Never relate the
same anecdote the socond time to
the same company.
When conversing with young
and gay women, do not discourse
of metaphysics, but chat about
the last fashion, the new opera,
or play, the last concert or novel,
etc. With single ladies past 25,
speak of literary matters, music
etc., and silently compliment
them by a proper deference to
their opinions. With married
ladies, inquire about the health
of their children, speak of their
grace and beauty, etc.
Ladies in conversing have fre
quently a highly exaggerated
method of expression, therefore
do not interpret too literally their
remarks.
VISITS AND CALLS.
Never have your cards printed,
but engraved. A written card,
though passable, is not perfectly
au fait If you write them never
first draw a line across the card
to guide you; it betokens ill
breeding.
The subject for conversation
should harmonize with the char
acter of your visit and prevent
your introducing a gay conver
sation when paying a visit of
condolence, or subjects requiring
deep thought and reflection upon
causal visits or cails of cere
mony.
THE BALL BOOM.
Go quietly through the dance
an3 let the gracefulness of your
deportment be more obvious
than the complexity of your step.
If a lady waltz with you beware
not to press her waist; lightly
touch it with the open palm of
? your hand, lest you leave a disa
greeable impression on her mind.
DINNER PARTIES.
To carve with ease and ele
gance should be understood by
every gentleman, and while carv
ing retain your seat.
In helping sauce or vegetables
place them upon the side of the
viands in the plate.
At dinner, where the common
household bread is used, it should
never be cut less than an inch
and a half thick.
As a general rule never touch
with your fingers what you offer
another.
In sitting next to a lady see
that she wants for nothing, with
out appearing to watch her plate
too closely.
If anything is sent you from
the host or hostess, do not offer
it to any other person; and when
helped do not wait until others
are served, but at once arrange
your napkin, and proceed to the
important business of the mo
ment.
In helping, whenever a spoon
can conveniently be ttsed it is pre
ferable to the use of the knife
and fork.
When the soup is removed, if
no one near the lady of the house
asks her to partake of wine, the
the host should then select some
lady to drink with, which is the
signal for others to partake.
When you give a dinner party,
do not have coffee brought into
the dinning room. It has the
appearance of inhospitality, and
coffee soon after dinner is highly
injurious to the digestive organs.
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.
Your letters to either sex
should be upon the best paper,
though plnin, inclosed in an en
velope and sealed to gentleman
with red wax, to ladles with
colored wax, not perfumed.
An unmarried man should not'
cover his fingers with rings.
If there be another chair in
the room, do not offer a lady that
j from which you have just risen.
When entering a concert or
lecture room whurt> ladies are
present carry your hat under
your left arm. or to your hand
with the cavity tamed toward
you.
If walking with a lady in the
country and she should ait upon
the grouud, remain standing un
less requested to be seated.
If you are at a concert or a
private musical party, do not
beat time with your feet of cane
upon the floor.
