How did one behave in the drawing rooms of 1830? Madame Celnart knew every rule. Her celebrated French manual, translated for American readers, covers the whole theater of polite life: dress and conversation, dinners and balls, letters, visits, and the delicate art of never giving offense. It is a window into a vanished world of calling cards and candlelight, fascinating as history and often wiser than it first appears. For lovers of period drama and students of human nature alike. The carriage is waiting; mind the gloves.
