PREFACE.

This book, "YOUTH'S EDUCATOR FOR HOME AND SO-
CIETY", is designed as a manual of correct deportment, not
only for young people just entering society, but for the many
older ones who have so often felt the want of proper infor-
mation upon this subject. Our aim has been to make it
simple, practical and reliable, omitting the technique of eti-
quette and confining ourselves to the forms and usages of
true gentlemen and ladies.
Its classification is such that any subject treated in its pages
can be readily found. Not only have we embraced the forms
current in good society (except among those who make
society their all), but we have treated kindred topics as fully
and as clearly as our limited space would allow. We have
tried not to forget that good sense is always good form, in
the parlor as well as in the counting room, and have avoided
all that savors of affectation.
With the conviction that we have prepared a complete and
valuable work for the every day use of young and old we
send this volume forth upon the great sea of public opinion,
there to battle for the simple grace, the manly bearing, the
kindly spirit and the true politeness which we hope may be
the inheritance of the rising generation.
