Salutation Given Indicative
OF Ones Real Breeding

It is said that the salutation is the
dOucnstone OF good breeding.
The manner in which the bow or saIu-
tatton is made indicates ones training
nurture OF culture, because a cultivated.
Well-bred person is careful in an the
trivial civilitias Of life
A well-bred person feels it incumbent
on seif-respect to be courteous to all
sorts and conditions of people, not 81
ing cordial bow to a person who may
be considered of importance and then
greeting one inferior in the social scale
with a careless nod or a mere deviation
of the eyebrows
In this age of careless haste people
are often too brusque In their manners.
but while a brusque manner Is rude. "A
very ehusive manner and low bow
are worse. The correct salutatiOn is
between these two extremes.
Good manners are not a superficial
veneer, a taln covering over q rough
surface but they are founded on kind
ness and common sense. They show the
nature. the heart. the disposition
Bad manners are attributed TO a Tack
OF fine perception which sees little
Things, q want Of that delicate touch
which handles them. and of that fine
sympathy which a superior moral or
ganization always bestows."
Be Pleasant.
Some one has said that, of the people
we casually meet, we ask only that the
salutatiOn be pleasant This seems to
be at the root of the entire matter of
greeting-to be pleasant A bow is made
instinctively and promptly as soon as
one meets the eye of an acquaintance
whether on the street or in a room.
When bowling. the head IS inclined
slightly. Even when persons know
each other very well il is not correct
to accompany bow with broad
smile, but there may be a smile in the
eyes, a beam of goodwill which light
ems the countenance and prevents an
impression Of GOODNESS, Indifference or
observation-disclosures, the death blow to
friendship.
With such one can be only Ienient
and charitable and slow 10 take Onense,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-11-10

remembering that the acquaintance may
not be aware of her conduct. She may
be self-centered and selfish, but, If she
IS valued as friend, she may be asked
why her manner is so variable, and TINS
may bring her 10 sense of her Pc
Culiarities. But if she is not really
friend, it would be impossible to make
any inquiry about her manner.
When passing acquaintance several
times it is only necessary TO bow at
the first meeting and il IS not correct
TO mention the name OF the person to
whom one bows.
A bow to an older or a superior per
son should be respectful IF bowling to
persons one knows slightly, the bow IS
slight; If bowling to those one knows
well, the bow is more cordial.
Men Must Wait
An important rule is that man must
wait to be recognized by a lady before
he bows, but between friends the act
of bowling is almost simultaneous.
In -bowine a man lifts his hat and
replaces il quickly. He does not hold
it off at arms length, bot lifts it, not
too far from mis- head. He raises his
hat when he is with q lady VINO bows
10 any one, although such person may
be a stranger TO MIN. when he passes
81 man whom he knows who is with
ladies, when he IS with man who
bows TO a lady; when he is with lady
and meets a man whom he knows
There are other small but important
points about bowling which distinguish
a Well-bTed man. He raises his hat
when offering any civility TO a lady
who is stranger, when he apologies
if by accident he has stepped on a
ladVs dress in passing or has acct
dentally touched against her when he
passes her on "a stairway or when he
offers any small courtesy In public
conveyance.
When he takes leave. of a lady after
speaking to her he lifts his hat He
removes his hat in hotel elevator, or
IN hotel corridors when ladies are pres
ent. He raises his hat when acknOvS
edging any service done by a man 20
a lady whom he is escorting.
If a man is smoking q cigar when
meeting a lady who bows TO him, he
should remove the cigar when bow
ing; and II he wishes to speak TO a
lady he must throw il away.
