PREFACE

In civil society there exists a system of manners and customs which furnishes a social formula or code of etiquette to determine the behaviour of the individual among his fellows. The object of this social code is to subdue the natural rudeness that belongs to man as a mere animal and thus clothe the brutal with a garb of unselfish forms. Kindness and consideration for the needs or wishes or feelings of others lie back of the conventional forms that are the measure of good manners.

The essence of politeness consists in treating others as if they were perfectly ideal people. The polite person utterly ignores all rudeness shown him and treats others as if they intended the same politeness toward him.

This book has been prepared to meet a demand for a record of forms that obtain in polite society, and it is hoped that these forms, interpreted in the light of the principle back of them, may be of service to those for whom the book has been written. The Editor

Typos corrected I found this yesterday in a book copyright 1914 in a small town of northern Saskatchewan... thanks to PVA
