quise de Gansy on the decline Of French
polteness due to the AmericanizatiOn OF

brusquerie. The marquise herself led the

bitterly that men never dreamed of giving
up their seats to ladies I'm public convey

to them at restaurants, and used most OBJ

the causes which were asserted in turn 20

theaters, OF modern education which neg

with pugliists trainers, jockeys and other
professionals.
