WHAT TO IN 60CIBTV,
(By A. Codger in Rockingharti PostDinner
and Other Occasions.
(By A. Codger in Rockingha raPoat-.
Dispatch.)
At the early dawn of civilization
when our primitive ancestors were
tirst enlightened by the faint flickering
rays of thought intelligence, the
idea of courtesy was probably spawned.
Manners, politeness, kindness and
courtesy are grouped "'idfr the word
etiquette. Most research* worker# iu
history, Jack Dempsey, dlabe Ruth
and other paleotologists agree that
the term originated when neolithic
man upon returning to his cave-like
domicile after the chase, having killed
and eaten a cat, replied to his ribs
invitation to supper, "No thanks. I
iiave just et u cat." Hence the word?
etiquette.
Caesar, who is known to have suffered
a great deal from (Jaul trouble,
was courteous to the last, and replied
to Brutus' question as to the
number, of eggs he had eaten on the
morning of the Ides of March, "Et tu,
Brute."
The stone age ushered in the idea
of calling on one's neighbors. The
visitor would merely bounce a stone
off the head of his neighbor instead of
leaving a card?certainly a more impressive
manner of making one's
presence felt. And their sense of etiquette
was so ingrained that nothing
hut had health ever prevented their
returning a call.
The rules of etiquette are so
broad that there is a particular set
for every type of activity, but in this
sketch we will only attempt to cover
a few general subjects that are unimportant.
At all formal dinners it is necessary
that the gentlemen have their
clothes on, and the rest of the men
should practice hypocracy on such occasions
The ladies as usual will wear
rings and necklaces.
Try and conceal your embarassment
and emotion on such occasions. You
should he at ease, as much as the man
who is about to relax in a chair connected
with some'ddgh^voltage wires,
as cool us a steamer stoker* in the
middle of July, as calm as a Jew over
jhe first customer on Monday morning.
If your feet hurt, take your
shoes off,:.us it impossible to enjoy
anything with a cow hide "persecuting
your bunions, and it naturally cramps
your style.
The proper use of the myriad at
the banquet board is always baffling,
as it is dolled up more than the surgeon's
deck for a major Operation.
The cave man first honed down the
rocks and made knives. A pretty
sharp trick for a cave man. The use
of the knife really takes practice and
dexterity to keep from cutting your
lip. * y
Peas and beans are frequently on
the menu and nothing is so annoying
to the parties near you as the beans
falling off your knife and bouncing
around over their food. Your should
guard against that carefully. A good
way is to crumble corn bread, mix
with molasses qnd the beans will stick
to the knife and a safe journey to the
; as ure i. You should not
i a g at the table unless acorn pan red
by the others over their soup bowl.
Soup can he passed up quickly if not
too hot. The main idea is to keep in
tune with the others. The meats and
salads of course should he oaten by I
mouth and no thought of host'or hostess
will serve the ice cream hot
enough to burn you. Usually the custom
determines proper conduct: therefore
the proper place for the napkin
is under the left foot.
It may be good breeding to sample
everything the hostess offers, but not
always good judgment. If she asks'
you to have some more corn, it is considered
excellent taste to say, "No
thanks, I prefer rye or Scotch."
Accidents will often occur and
should cause but little embarassment.
If you spill something on your neighbor
immediately assure him that you
didn't want it anyway, as that relieves
him. If the meat slips out of your,
plate while carving it a>nd lambasts
the guest opposite you, dd^not be rude
enough to try to reclaim the meat, as
to the visitor belongs the spoils of
victory. To knock an expensive dish
over with your elbow is usually a
costly break and is best passed off by
some complacent re-mark as "Deucedly.
poor pottery," etc.
If your teeth should drop out into
your plate, immediately grab the
l ight plate and replace, as this is better
than letting some molar plumber
tinker with it. Incidentally never take
jour glass eye out and lay it on the
plate, n ssoine guest who is fond of
stuffed olives may make a mistake.
If called on for an after-dinner
speech, say nothing, but do like all
i the others and consume about an hour
| ;.i saying it. After-dinner speeches
are not so popular now as they were
before the Volstead Act went into effect,
as a sober man often hates to
vaate his time.

the waiter "Jack" or "George" and do
! Dot fall to bawl him out so the other
guests can hear H. That marks you
I as a man used to handling men, a man
J of affairs; then every one immediately
knows that you are a section boss or
a traffic cop. You should complain no
matter how gobd the service is, In order
to show people what you are used
to. And don't forget to tip lavishly?a
dollar or more for the most trivial
service, as John D. Rockefeller and
Andy Carnegie were noted for dimaa
and quarters, as well as many individuals
who were well able to spot
more.
In small restaurants where they
have waitresses you need not bother
about form?let the waitresses take
care of that. It is very poor taste to
make a date with a homely waitress.
Some authorities say for you to act
natural, just as you would at home,
but you know better than that. You
couldn't get away with it. You would
either be kicked out or arrested.
Manners on the street and elsewhere
should be governed by the exigencies
of the .occasion,. Simply because
you have not been introduced
to a manNor happen not to be on
speaking tirms with him, does not
constitute a good reason formot yelling
ut him to "^watch his step" if he
is about to be run over by something
In walking along the street with your
wife you should be on the outside next
to the curb bo that anything falling
from the roof or windows would not
hit you. In walking with the other
fellow's wife you should eall a taxi.
In conversation always avoid sharp
remarks as they are very cutting and
may spoil your neighbor's evening, or
if he is a tough may spoil your own.
If married a good way to avoid making
verbal breaks is to have your wife
alorfg then she won't give you a
chance. It's the height of poor judgment
to pick a quarrel with a man
you cah't lick. No sober man . and
very few drunks will make this break.
Always be courteous to -those less
fortunate than yourselves.
Be kind to the elevator boy. He has
his ups and downs. c
Be patient with teachers; their
troubles are little ones, but many.
Be patient for doctors; because they
have to eat.
Be courteous to your boss; as you
have to eat, too.
Never be rude to a policeman: he
might hurt your feelings.
Be fare with the street car conductor;
he has his jolts.
The art of conversation was first
invented and fostered by the ladies;
as they practice it most, they are
most skijled in it. Can --you imagine
anything more crude or unhealthy
than arguing with your wife ot mother-in-law?
This break immediately
marks one as an injured imbecile.
Conversation is best carried in a basket
as there is less of it spilled then.
One of the most costly orrors is trying
to persuade a traffic cop against
his will. It is a serious blunder to
talk back to the judge when you are
in a hurry, as he may become so interested
in the subject that he would
detain you.
The sarpe rules of etiquette apply
to sports; they should imitate the
gentlemen as much as possible. The
golf course is very much like the
beach?you see both good and bad
form. , '
If you have a regard for the truthj
do not take up golf, as you will be
unable to compete with the others in
the locker room. If you are a real
estate agent by all means play the
game, as it will help you in your business.
Your lies will seem more natural
and less less forced. Most successful
recruiting officers, as well as many
other liars,, attribute their downfall
- to golf. But on the green you are
hound to your caddy by the links. It:
is a Scotch game and should be played
tight, although some sober people
play. The main idea is to win, but if
you can't win on the links you still
have a chance in the locker room.
It is hard to remember the rules
governing etiquette of the many
phoses of life. The subject is so polished
that it slips the mind. But try
and keep the closing thought?do not
let too much etiquette spoil your opportunity
to really enjoy yourself.
