It is never against any rule of etiquette to say or do a pleasant thing.  Etiquette means simply organized usages to prevent unpleasant situations.
In turning over the leaves of a book touch the uppoer corner of the right-hand page and turn it without rumpling the page.  It is violation of good sense and good manners to ill-treat a book.

A pretty ceiling decoration may be made with brass chains, dried grasses, and well-formed glass lamp-chimneys.
For the side walls use chromo lithographs, without frames, tacking them on with a piece of yellow or red braid as a border.  Avoid side lights, but if they must be used, let the light be from lanterns.
The chain circles around the glass chimney once, ...]]></description>

The following notes on sealing wax will interest many readers who are, or may like to be, punctilious on that point:
Sealing wax is fashionable once more, but the following distinctions and rules have been laid down as to the colors for various occasions.  Red sealing wax is to be used for business letters.  Letters written by a gentleman to the ...]]></description>

There are certain formalities in regard to ceremonials that are not considered in villages and country places, but it is well for the country cousins who visit the city to know something about them. Some of these would not be out of place anywhere, because they have so much to recommend them for their especial purpose. Country people who have ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a very great mistake to think you may receive an invitation to an entertainment or a wedding, and take no notice of it because you are going to accept it, and expect to be there, or because you do not expect to go.  The compliment in any case deserves graceful acknowledgement.]]></description>

It is both proper and polite to tell a lady or even a gentleman quietly if there is anything amiss about their dress.  For example, if a gentleman comes into a room after being out in the rain, or dust, or dew, and has had his trousers rolled up at the foot and forgotten to turn them down, the hostess ...]]></description>

The Ladies World &#8211; October, 1892
The duty of a chaperone is to prevent the possibility of gossip. The German equivalent for gossip, the &#8220;living newspaper,&#8221; has no malicious flavor in its definition, yet few families wish to have their private affairs discussed in the newspapers or told on the housetops. If all the relations in life were happy and prosperous ...]]></description>

October, 1895
The first ceremony practiced by our rural young people on Hallow-e&#8217;en is the pulling of a cabbage-stalk.  Each must pull the first stalk he comes to in the garden.  Its being short or tall will foretell the size of the future husband or wife.  The amount of earth that remains to the root will indicate the fortune.
There is another ...]]></description>

Dining Room and Chamber Fashions in China, August, 1892
The dinner bell has long since suffered a decadence, and it is rarely now that it sends its merry tinkle through the corridors of aristocratic houses.  It has been the custom to have meals announced by the butler, or by neat-aproned and capped &#8220;Phyllises.&#8221;  But the latest is the Japanese gong.  It ...]]></description>

For a five-o&#8217;clock tea-table to stand permanently in the drawing room or library, a pretty tea equipage is required, consisting of a teapot, cream jug and sugar basin and cups and saucers in some decorative china.  Over this small table should be laid a handsome linen cloth ornamented by drawn work, embroidery and lace.
For an occasional five-o&#8217;clock tea there must ...]]></description>

The latest fad of Washington Society, one brought from Europe, is to discover character by the clasping of hands.  The Washington Post thus describes the fad:
Just clasp your hands quickly.  Don&#8217;t stop to do it with intent.  Clasp them.  How did you do it?
If you are a woman, naturally you clasped them with the left thumb outside the right, and ...]]></description>
