After lunch it will be time to return home, and after you and
father have ruined your clothes in repairing the punctures, the

Nowhere is the etiquette of travel more abused than our subways.
The gentleman shown above is en route to his fiancee's flat in
the Bronx. He has neglected to purchase the customary bouquet for
his intended and has offered his seat to the lady, who is
standing, in exchange for her corsage bouquet. Should she accept

guard to introduce the gentleman first?}

The young lady has received an invitation to a quilting-bee from
a Mrs. Steenwyck and, anxious to make a correct reply, she has
bought a Complete Letter Writer to aid her to this end. To her
surprise and dismay, she finds that it contains three model
replies to such an invitation beginning "Dear Mrs. Peartree,"
"Dear Mrs. Rombouts," and "Dear Mrs. Bevy," and one invitation to
a christening beginning, "Dear Mrs. Steenwyck," but no reply to
an invitation to a quilting-bee beginning "Dear Mrs. Steenwyck."
PERFECT BEHAVIOR settles such perplexities.}
