The Laws of Etiquette - Time to Prepare

The Laws of Etiquette are cultural norms that govern social behavior. They point to appropriate ways in which people should react, behave and interact with each other given the situation they find themselves in. It is often difficult to pinpoint what may be considered rude or acceptable, as there are subjective opinions on many topics across cultures. Nonetheless, it’s important for us all to know the most common etiquette rules and ensure we’re following them at all times.,

The “art of manliness arm wrestling” is a book by Jack Donovan. It covers the social rules for life in general.

Last summer in Vermont, Kate and I came upon a book called Hill’s Manual of Social and Business Forms. It was first printed in 1880. The book contains a jumble of knowledge that would have been valuable to a businessman in the late 1800s. There are parts on handwriting, business letter writing, and social and business etiquette dos and don’ts. “Unclassified Laws of Etiquette” is the title of one part of the book. It’s a collection of etiquette standards that didn’t quite fit into the other categories (funeral etiquette, etiquette in the home, etc.). The advice is still surprisingly relevant, despite the fact that the list was published over a century ago and some of the ideas are a little odd and outmoded. It successfully bridges many of the etiquette gaps that have turned society into a real Swiss cheese of incivility. If a guy follows these ideas, he will stand out among the other knuckleheads out there attempting to acquire a job or attract the attention of a good-looking lady. Looking down the list, I notice a few places where I could use some work. I’m sure you will as well!

Never refuse a gift because you believe it will be of no benefit to you.

If you’re a gentleman, you should always be nice and courteous to females.
Never draw attention to anyone’s appearance or attributes.
Never mention a present you’ve given or a favor you’ve done.
Never hang out with scumbags. Having nice company is preferable than having none.
Never peer over someone’s shoulder who is reading or writing.
Never seems to notice anyone’s scar, deformity, or flaw.
Touch should never be used to get someone’s attention. Make contact with him.

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
When visiting overseas, never exaggerate your pride in your own nation.
Unless specifically asked, never address a new friend by their first name.
Unless you have permission, never lend an item you have borrowed.
Never try to focus the company’s attention on yourself all of the time.
When an accident occurs, never show wrath, impatience, or enthusiasm.
Never pass between two people who are conversing without first apologizing.
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Never forget that if you are loyal in a few things, you have the potential to govern over many others.
If you show too much familiarity with a new friend, you may offend them.
A gentleman will never mention any exploits he may have had with females.
Never commit the heinous crime of opening a private letter written to someone else.
Never neglect to give an ill, an old person, or a woman the easiest and finest seat in the room.
Never fail to do the task that your buddy has entrusted to you. You must not overlook this.
Never put a visitor who is used to a comfortable room to sleep on a chilly, wet spare bed.
Never enter a room full of people without first bowing to the rest of the group.
Never fail to respond to an invitation within a week of receiving it, whether in person or by writing.
When the occasion arises, never take favors or hospitality without exchanging civilities.
Never cross your leg and position one foot in a streetcar or anywhere else where it may annoy those passing by.
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever You will be rewarded if you are honest. If you mislead, you will get your penalty.
Never take out a loan and fail to repay it. If you do, you will quickly become recognized as a business scumbag.
Never write to another person without attaching a postage stamp for the reply if you’re requesting information or a favor of any type.
Never neglect to provide comfort and encouragement to those who are in need. Your thoughtfulness might help them get out of their funk.
Never refuse to accept apologies. You may not obtain friendship, but decency demands that you accept an apology when it is made.
The cards in the card-basket should never be examined. While they may be visible in the drawing room, you are not required to give them over until specifically requested.
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever It is too concerned with form.
When you’re asking someone for a favor, never offend them with harsh remarks. Kind words don’t cost much, but they may provide a lot of joy to the person who hears them.
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever If you’re a merchant, you address your clerk; if you’re an overseer, you address your worker; if you’re in any position of power, your nice manner of address demonstrates that you’re a gentleman.
By copying the flaws of famous persons, you will never give the idea that you are a genius. It doesn’t mean you’ll be great by mimicking their oddities, just because some great guys were lousy penmen, sported long hair, or had other quirks.
Never give strangers all of your lovely words and smiles. The loveliest looks and kindest remarks should be kept at home. Our home should be a haven for us.

“We have cautious thinking for the stranger, and smiles for the occasional visitor; yet we often have a harsh tone for our own, despite the fact that we love our own the most.” Ah! “It would be a harsh destiny if the night arrived too late to erase the work of the morning.”
