gain have ladies' days, at which a reception to the fair
friends of the members is given. All this depends on the rules of the
club. As soon as you are made a member you are given a little book in
which these are contained, and you should study them carefully. The name
of a guest should be entered on the visitors' book with that of his
host. If the visitor is put up for a certain period a card to the club
is sent him, and during his stay he has all the privileges of a member.
He can run up an account, but he should certainly settle it before his
term expires, otherwise his host will be held responsible.

A clubman never pays an attendant for refreshment or food served.
Gratuities of any kind to servants are forbidden. When refreshment is
required, you press the electric bell, of which there are a number in
all the rooms, and the attendant comes to you for your order. When he
brings it he has with it a check which you sign. These checks are, of
course, debited to you, and you receive your bill once a month, or you
can make arrangements to pay at the steward's or cashier's desk daily.

You order your meals in the same manner, and when they are ready, the
servant will notify you.

At most of the clubs smoking is not permitted in the dining rooms until
after nine, nor are refreshments allowed to be served in the visitors'
room or library at any time. Books and magazines are not to be removed
from the reading room or library, nor any publication belonging to the
club from the clubhouse.

There is still a prejudice against pipe smoking in many of the clubs,
and you must consult the rules before you attempt this practice. A man
does not remove his coat or sit in his shirtsleeves in any of the public
rooms. An allowance, however, is made in the billiard room.

The loud-voiced man is one of the nuisances of a club. Loud talking may
be endured in the smoking or general room, but certainly not in the
library or the reading rooms.

The "kicker" is another objectionable person. He should remember that
the best way of rectifying abuses is to send to the house committee all
complaints of any deficiency in the service of the club, of overcharges,
mistakes, or defects. The club is not a place to conduct one's
commercial interests. Invitations and special correspondence can be
conducted on club paper, but certainly it is a breach of club etiquette
to use it for business purposes.
