Arranged like a dictionary, this guide answers every question of American social usage in the early twentieth century. It explains how to address envelopes, hold an at-home, give a bachelor’s tea or a debutante ball, bow in the street, leave visiting cards, dress for a summer wedding, and accept or decline invitations.

A revealing and often amusing record of the rules that governed polite society a century ago. Download the free EPUB.
