In driving, if impossible to raise the hat,
he should touch it with his whip.
The hat is gracefully lifted from the head,
brought to the level of the chest, and the
body inclined forward, and then replaced in
passing.
It is the woman's privilege to bow first if
it is a mere acquaintance. If, however, a
woman bows, and the man fails to recognize
her, he should bow in return.
A man may bow first to a very intimate
friend.
Meeting a woman to whom he has been
introduced at an entertainment, he should
wait until she bows first.
After bowing to a woman, the man may
join her, and with her permission may walk
a short distance with her.
He should not stand in the street and converse
with her any length of time. She may
excuse herself and pass on. He should not
feel affronted.
If he meets a woman he does not know
accompanied by a man he does know, both
men bow.
The man accompanying her should bow
to every man or woman to whom she bows.
WOMEN. A woman's bow should be dignified--
a faint smile and a gentle inclination of the
head.
Women bow first to men when meeting in
the street. A man may bow first if the
acquaintance is intimate.
When walking with a man, and they meet
another unknown to her, but known to her
escort, both men bow. If she meets a friend,
man or woman, unknown to her escort, he
bows.
Unless an introduction has taken place at
any function, no recognition is customary.
It is the woman's privilege, however, to decide
for herself whether she will recognize
the guest or not.
A man bowing and joining a woman on
the street must ask permission to do so.
She is at perfect liberty to gracefully decline.
If a man stops to talk on the street, she
may excuse herself and pass on. If she
continues the conversation and he stands
with his hat in his hand, she may request
him to replace it. Such conversations should
be brief.
BREAD should be broken into small pieces, buttered,
and transferred with the fingers to the mouth.
The bread should be placed on the small
plate provided for the purpose.
BREAKFASTS. Breakfasts are generally given from
ten to twelve in the morning. Very formal
breakfasts are held at twelve o'clock.
