TOOTHPICKS should not be used in public. If necessity
requires it, raise the napkin over the
mouth, with the hand behind it, using the
toothpick as quickly as possible.
TOWN, RETURNING TO-WOMEN. Cards of the entire
family should be sent by mail to all acquaintances
when returning after a prolonged
absence.
When using cards, if out of town, the
place of a woman's permanent residence can
be written on the card thus: NEW YORK.
PHILADELPHIA.
TRAVELERS' VISITING-CARDS. A woman visiting a place
for a length of time should mail to her friends
a visiting-card containing her temporary address.
A man in a similar situation should call
upon his friends, and if he does not find
them at home should leave his card.
TRAVELING.
MEN WITH WOMEN. When traveling with a
woman, a man should see to the checking
and care of her baggage.
MEN. As it is exceedingly trying and difficult
for a woman to stand in a railroad train while
it is in motion, it is the height of good manners
for a man to offer her his seat and to
insist on her taking it.
EXPENSES. On a short boat or railroad trip a
man should pay the expenses of a woman
who accompanies him by his invitation. But
on a long trip she should insist on paying
her share, and he should accept her decision.
Of course, he is at liberty, however, to pay
all the expenses of slight entertainments-as,
fruit, magazines, etc.
He should see to the care of her baggage
and all other details.
PARLOR-CAR. When traveling a long distance
accompanied by a woman, a man should secure
seats in the parlor-car.
While it is admissible to offer assistance to
a woman traveling in a parlor-car without an
escort, it should be done in the most polite
and delicate manner, and be perfectly agreeable to her.
WOMEN. If a woman arrives at a strange place,
especially a large city, and no one meets her,
she should ask the station porter to attend to
her baggage and all such details, and, if
traveling farther, to see to her ticket and to
find for her the right train.
If at the end of her journey she gives him
the address she desires to go to and her trunk
checks, he should procure a carriage for her.
This saves her much worry and annoyance
and needless risk.
The same suggestions apply to steamboat
travel.
EXPENSES. If a woman is asked by a man to
take a short boat or railroad trip, he should
pay her fare and all other expenses. But if
on a long trip--as, a summer outing--and she
is escorted by a man, she should insist on
paying her own fare and all expenses, allowing
him, however, to pay the expenses of
slight entertainment--as, fruit, magazines,
etc.
