Stewart, Donald Ogden. Perfect Behavior, A Guide for Ladies and Gentlemen in All Social Circles. Reprint Edition. 1922. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good minus condition—jacket shows chips and repaired tears. There is a facsimile underlay to disguise the chips.
Have a desire to learn more about etiquette but find reference books too tedious? This might be the perfect source for you. It is a playful parody of Emily Post written by a member of the Algonquin Round Table, who laments, “Speed, not manners, seems to be the motto of [the] century.” It is great fun, but contains enough kernels of truth to guarantee a better understanding of appropriate behavior. There is an extensive chapter on engagements, which could make this a fun book to give a recently engaged couple.
