What is YOUR Etiquette Complex?, Hamilton Evening Journal, Ohio, May 23, 1925

7. “How should one acknowledge an introduction?”
Bow graciously and say: “how do you do?”. Add the name if you are sure you understood it correctly. Never use “delighted”, “pleased to meet you” or “charmed”.

9. “Please explain what is meant by ‘a lady on the left’.”
The best social authorities say that a “lady on the left” is NOT a lady. That is, a lady should always sit on a gentleman’s right in a car or a taxicab.

11. “Should a woman or a man give the first sign of recognition hen they meet?”
The woman has the privilege of acknowledging acquaintance with a man.
