For man to sit with his feet ele-
vated in the presence of a woman,
whether at home or in his Office, is the
height of bad breeding.
Strictest etiquette forbids that men
should put one foot over the other
knee at any time. 1t is considered
exceedingly bad form when calling on
women.
Decorous attitudes in the presence
of women are possibly not the com
Portable postures, but they are neces-
sary to elegant society.
In public conveyances, by assuming
unconventional positions where wo-
men are present, others are incon-
venienced. and the test Of good man
ners is how little discomfort each
member Of the community inficts up-
on others.
ETIQURTTE FOR MEN.
It is very bad manners for men to
sit in car in such a way as to en-
croach on the space belonging to 9th
ers. They should never stretch out
their feet in the aisle of public con-
yeyance, or otherwise occupy more
than their allotted space, as their care
less attitude may, and probably will
be stumbling block in the way of
their fellow passengers. Considera-
ton for our neighbors is the essence
of good breeding, and disregard Of
their rights or comfort shows the alb
sence Of it.
1t is considered bad form for men to
complete their toilettes by turning up
the trousers after they have left the
house, or having their shoes polished
on the street corner Well-bred men
finish every detail Of their toilets at
home.
Men should remember that tan
shoes are out of place with froek
coat. Any eccentric or conspicuous
footgear is always in bad taste. |

man say:
"When I can remember what gen
tleman wears after he has left me, /
