DEFINITION OF GOOD MANNERS
No Writer Has Made a Clearer State«

Nelson Page.
Manners, familiarly known as the
plural of manner, signify, in general,
good behavior and polite deportment.
In conforming to the usages of oti-
quette thus recognized, one need not
copy the example of Lord Chester
fleld, whose ambition was to be re
garded as the worthiest man in Eng
land, as a mirror of politeness in the
eighteenth century. Nor would any

One more quotation shall suffice, and
it is this from the pen of Thomas Nel-
