HOW TO BEHAVE.
A second serving of soup should never be taken, Avoid touching people when you wish to emphasise anything you my be Baying. Don't sit jammed up against the meal table. Neither keep your chair at any distance from the table. It is bad form to bend over your plate, or drop your bead to meet each mouthful; you should sit as upright as possible. Don't look at your watch in company; this gives people the impression you are bored, and anxious for the time to pass in consequence. Never beat time at a concert with your foot or umbrella, nor hum tunes beneath your breath. Be careful in speaking to sound your , k'b. Don't say ' goih',' ' singin',' or 'coinm',' for 'going,' singing,' and ' comingr,' It. is rude to carry on a correspondence on postcards. A business message may be conveyed in this way, but anything of a private communication on an open card should be avoided.
