Etiquette Made Easy

Good manners are simply kindness with polish. Edward Summers Squier's friendly guide from the early twentieth century takes the mystery out of social graces: introductions and invitations, table manners, calls and conversation, weddings, travel, and the small courtesies that smooth every room. His tone is practical and reassuring, never stuffy, written for real people who want to move through the world with ease. A century later it doubles as charming social history and surprisingly usable advice. Straighten your cuffs and step in; company awaits.
