Excerpt: ...crossing, even if perfect strangers to him. A gentleman must hold his hat in his hand if he stops to inquire his own way, or to direct another. If a gentleman sees a lady alone hesitating at a bad crossing, or leaving a carriage at an awkward place, he may offer his hand to assist her in crossing or alighting, raise his hat, bow, and pass on. A lady may, with perfect propriety, accept such assistance from a stranger, thanking him, and returning his bow. If a lady leaves an omnibus or car alone, the gentleman nearest the door should alight, assist her out, and enter the omnibus again. Gentlemen should always pass up the fare of ladies in an omnibus. A lady is not expected to recognize any acquaintance on the opposite side of the street. In a public conveyance, a gentleman should offer his seat to any lady who is standing, and the lady should thank him audibly for the courtesy. To turn his back upon her at once, and thus force her to accept the courtesy in silence or shout her thanks, is rude. A polite bow exchanged is a sufficient acknowledgment. Loud talking and laughing in the street are sure signs of vulgarity. Never look back after any one passing; it is extremely ill-bred. Staring is a mark of low breeding. Whispering in a public conveyance is excessively rude. Never call out loudly to an acquaintance who may be passing. Cutting is to be avoided, if possible. There are other ways of convincing a man that you will not know him; yet, to young ladies, it is sometimes the only means available to rid them of a troublesome acquaintance. Cutting consists in publicly ignoring, by deed, and, if need be, by word, the acquaintance of the offensive person. A stiff bow will usually effect the desired object; if not, a purposed non-recognition will probably succeed. It must be a very bad case where it is necessary to tell one you have not the pleasure of an acquaintance with them. A gentleman must never under any circumstances, cut a lady; an unmarried...
