About this book
Manners and Social Usages is by M. E. W. Sherwood, in a new and enlarged edition, revised by the author. The text says it is well for all house-keepers to devote one day in the week to the reception of visitors. The text says nothing is more vulgar than that a caller should ask the servant where his mistress is, when she went out, when she will be in, how soon she will be down.
The text says that an old-fashioned entertainment was called a drum, and the tea suggested kettle, and the name fitted the circumstances. The text says a young lady should not write letters to young men, or send them presents, or take the initiative in any way. The text says a friendly correspondence is very proper if the mother approves, but even this has its dangers.
