This humorous etiquette manual is written for those seeking to navigate the complex and often absurd customs of high society, offering a plethora of do's and don'ts that emphasize the importance of proper behavior in various social situations. The book is structured around a series of chapters that cover specific aspects of social interactions, such as making calls, dining etiquette, and public behavior. Each section is filled with tongue-in-cheek rules and warnings, illustrating common faux pas and the potential embarrassments that might arise from ignoring them. Mentor employs a comedic tone to reflect on the pretentiousness of societal norms, framing etiquette as both a necessity and a minefield for those unacquainted with its intricacies. Through witty observations and exaggerated examples, the book ultimately serves as both a practical guide and a lighthearted critique of the social aspirations of its time.
