Well-bred people arrive as nearly at the appointed dinner hour as they can. It is a very vulgar assumption of importance purposely to arrive half an hour behind time; besides the folly of allowing eight or ten hungry people such a tempting opportunity of discussing your foibles. It may be a hundred and fifty years since this essential etiquette bible was first published, but within its pages are some astute observations and timeless advice. Hints on Etiquette dispenses wisdom on decorum and all manner of matters, from the dinner table to marriage, and from smoking to fashion. For the best tips on fitting in with best society, this distinguished little book is in a class of its own.
