FELICITY KING. ETIQUETTE DEPARTMENT F-l-x:--Yes, you should offer your arm to a lady when seeing her home, but don't keep her standing too long at the gate while you say good night. (FELIX, ENRAGED:--"I never asked such a question.") C-c-l-y:--No, it is not polite to use "Holy Moses" or "dodgasted" in ordinary conversation. (Cecily had gone down cellar to replenish the apple plate, so this passed without protest.) S-r-a:--No, it isn't polite to cry all the time. As to whether you should ask a young man in, it all depends on whether he went home with you of his own accord or was sent by some elderly relative. F-l-t-y:--It does not break any rule of etiquette if you keep a button off your best young man's coat for a keepsake. But don't take more than one or his mother might miss them. |
