Dutton & Co. Come, simple folk and social queens And guests and hosts and party-plan- ners And matrons, brides and sweet sixteens, Peruse this work and mend your man- ners! Be taught to welcome all and each With just the right degree of unction, To use permitted forms of speech And Row to act at every function; And how to dress for out-of-doors And when to don your fine externals, And what to say to Senators, Archbishops, admirals and colonels. To master corn upon the cob (A dish that always raises ructions), Or artichokes—a ticklish job— You merely have to read instructions. The way to eat the festive clam You'll find beneath the proper heading; A sort of football diagram Informs you how to run a wedding. Some pages treat of chicken-bones And further mysteries unravel Of teas and toasts and telephones, Of toothpicks, tail-coats, tips and travel. You'll never make a break again; With such a guide a person couldn’t. At last you'll know precisely when You should, and also when you shouldn't. Yet Graciousness remains the clue To every Shouldn’tness and Should- ness; So, if you're good, be gracious, too, And make your motto, ‘Gracious Goodness!” Arthur Guiterman.
