The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-05-27

I take at random two specimens
from an early Victorian manual: !:
when entering the boudoir of a
lady friend, a gentleman should be
very careful to remove his hat, /"
and "If at dinner party you have
the honor to sit next your hostess,
and she depute to you the duty Of
carving leg of mutton, and if, in
doing so. you inadvertently upset
this joint into your hostess lap, do
not, as the vulgar would, apologize
profusely and offer to buy her a
new dress, but pass it off lightly as
a joke. /" Strange though 4 neems,
the arbiter of conversation and eti-
quette in the present day has made
no great advance from such modes
