In the publisher's note: "The publisher is not at liberty to mention the name of the writer." If one has extra service as a guest at another's house, it is expected that gratuities be paid to those domestic servants, whether at the stable, or to the porter who carried one's luggage upstairs. For a small book, quite a bit of decorum is covered, including "yachting dresses." Contains a roster of New York society dames who endorse the book, including Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, Mrs. Chauncey M. Depew, et al.
