Wits Manual Notes Courtship Etiquette and Travel Etiquette
A mixed excerpt from the 1880 Wits Manual of Social Forms and a colonial era column. It outlines a gentleman accompanying a lady, handling expenses, tickets, and hotel stays during long journeys. It also references social conduct on trips and a few unrelated notices including New York and New Haven Bankers Express service and a poetic aside.
