Ed Howe on parties: Men should e
early to party, even if they have to e
before supper, and sit in the parlor al
alone while the hostess is dressing. If {
man is late, he is taken around circle o
about forty people and introduced to every
one of them, and there is nothing mor'
awkward than man when he tries Il
bow. Every one in the room stops talk
ing and stares at him, and if there are an
16-year-old girls present he can hear l
suppressed giggle when he is trying hi
best to be graceful. A man is never grace
full except when he is saving wood o.
hammering nail. and society should no
expect him to bow like a woman who ha
spent years learning how to handle he
feet and hands.
