manners gentle and winsome.

Boys, the word _gentleman_ means, ideally, a fine, athletic, manly
fellow who is an all round good sport in the best sense, and who has
manners that do not prevent other people from seeing how fine he is.




THE STREET

_Remember this,--that there is a proper dignity and proportion to
be observed in the performance of every act of life._

--Marcus Aurelius.


1) If you are well brought up, girls, you will not loiter on the street
to talk to one another; much less to boys. Street visiting is taboo.

2) Boys, a gentleman does not detain on street corners a girl or woman
friend. If he meets one with whom he wishes to speak more than a moment,
he asks permission to walk a little way with her. During the moment that
he does detain her, a gentleman talks with his hat in his hand.

3) You know that a boy should lift his hat or cap in recognition of a
girl or woman acquaintance whom he meets on the street. But perhaps you
don't know that the same courtesy may well be offered to a man, and must
be, if the man is walking with a girl or a woman.
