|  Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor. | | Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory. | | To do exactly as your neighbors do is the only sensible rule. | | Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use. | | To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a "home" might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation. |
