casions BY CHARLES HARCOURT This thoroughly sensible and manly book is best described by a review which appeared in the Philadelphia "Public Ledger:" Books on etiquette are not generally of such a character as to be worth the notice of self-respecting men. They are generally left to the "young misses" and "gents" who live in mortal fear of being found out to be what they feel themselves to be. "Good Form for Men," however, is above the average of its kind, for it is conceived and written in a wholesome, manly spirit. There is nothing finical or foppish about the conventions which Mr. Harcourt undertakes to codify and explain. "Society," thereby meaning well-bred and cultured men and women, has as much right to lay down rules to dress and conduct as any "secret" society has to insist upon ritual and ceremony. Mr. Harcourt's book is a thoroughly sensible one and may be studied with profit by men who, not being to the manner born, desire to feel at ease among the cultured. 12mo, Cloth, extra $1.00 Bound uniformly with Good Form for Women. Good Form for Women A Guide to Conduct and Dress on All Occasions BY MRS. CHARLES HARCOURT The writer addresses the great mass who make up the backbone of our country and takes no account of the passing fads of fashion. Etiquette at its best means consideration and fair treatment of every one, and every womanly woman should have an understanding of its rules to help her over difficult places. This book contains chapters on Introductions, Invitations, Cards and Calling, Dress, Correspondence and Reading, Conversation, Dinners, Balls, Table Etiquette, Receptions, Luncheons, Suppers, Engagements, Weddings, The Young Wife, etc. Unlike so many books of the same character "GOOD FORM FOR WOMEN" is not dry and tiresome but bright and entertaining from cover to cover. The personal tone adopted by the author cannot fail to attract and charm the reader. It is a book written by a sensible woman for sensible readers, and is a reliable and helpful guide. 12mo, Cloth, extra $1.00 Bound uniformly with Good Form for Men. THE RENOWNED STANDARD JUVENILES BY EDWARD S. ELLIS Edward S. Ellis is regarded as the latter day Cooper. His books will always be read for the accurate pen pictures of pioneer life they portray.
