A Gentleman Should Never Take His Hat

Courtesy Demands That You, When You Are A Guest, Shall Show Neither Annoyance Nor Disappointment--no Matter What Happens.

Manners Are Like Primary Colors, There Are Certain Rules And Once You Have These You Merely Mix, I.e., Adapt, Them To Meet Changing Situations.

Manners Are Made Up Of Trivialities Of Deportment Which Can Be Easily Learned If One Does Not Happen To Know Them; Manner Is Personality - The Outward Manifestation Of One's Innate Character And Attitude Toward Life.... Etiquette Must, If It Is To Be Of More Than Trifling Use, Include Ethics As Well As Manners. Certainly What One Is, Is Of Far Greater Importance Than What One Appears To Be.

To Be A Good Sportsman, One Must Be A Stoic And Never Show Rancor In Defeat, Or Triumph In Victory, Or Irritation, No Matter What Annoyance Is Encountered. One Who Can Not Help Sulking, Or Explaining, Or Protesting When The Loser, Or Exulting When The Winner, Has No Right To Take Part In Games Or Contests.

To The Old Saying That Man Built The House But Woman Made Of It A 'home' Might Be Added The Modern Supplement That Woman Accepted Cooking As A Chore But Man Has Made Of It A Recreation.
