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.

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.
