o his little daughter, as he would
to his wife.

On the street, a man must wait for a lady to recognize him, but should be
ready to remove his hat simultaneously with her greeting, raising and
replacing it quickly. The fashion of removing the hat after meeting a lady
is absurd. How does she know the courtesy has been extended?

When a man is with a lady who recognizes an acquaintance, he must raise
his hat, whether he knows the individual or not. He should, however, keep
his eyes straight ahead, not looking at the person.

If he meets a man walking with a lady whom he does not know, he waits the

A man removes his hat in an elevator if women enter or are already inside.
This rule is often ignored in large public buildings.

If a woman bows to a man in any place where it is his privilege to wear
his hat, he removes his hat and does not replace it while she is talking

They also stand uncovered when the United States flag is borne past, or
the national hymn--the "Star Spangled Banner"--is played in public, at a
military review, etc.

When a man passes a lady in the corridor of a hotel, or on the stairway,
he should raise his hat.

When he takes leave of a lady, the same act of deference is expected.

Hat and Coat When Calling.--When calling, the man looks after his own hat,
overcoat and stick. His hostess does not offer to relieve him of them, nor
suggest the removal of his coat. He deposits his hat and stick on table or
seat in the hall before entering the drawing-room, and take
