Not realizing his mistake, the Groom stands waiting for the
Bridal Procession, apparently in high spirits and the best of
health. Such an attitude toward a wedding is in the worst
possible taste. PERFECT BEHAVIOR tells all about the correct
appearance and conduct of Bridegrooms.}

The Best Man has just been introduced to the Maid of Honor.
Instead of waiting for her to extend her hand and make the
acknowledgment, he has turned on his heel and bolted from the
room. This constitutes a social blunder, after the commission of
which he could never again, in polite society, be considered
quite a gentleman. PERFECT BEHAVIOR would have told him how the
man of birth and breeding learns to face anything with perfect
"Sang froid."}

The Groom has just presented his Best Man to his sister, who,
though she is more than eager to make every one feel at home, has
failed to make at once the pun "de rigueur" on the words "best
man." An awkward silence has ensued. What is to be done? Should
one of the gentlemen fill the breach by making the pun for her?
If so, which? PERFECT BEHAVIOR covers the whole subject of making
the "best man" pun authoritatively.
