Currier and Ives Print: Middle Age: The Season of Strength, by Charles Parsons and Lyman Atwater, 1868

Etiquette is something everyone needs to know...Civilian and Military roles both. Ladies I know you want your husbands acting as gentlemen when they're not fighting but escorting you around. Before you look at the etiquette specifically for the ladies or gentlemen take a quick look at etiquette for everyone.

For everyone:

When friends come to call on you, don't look at your watch, lest they think you desire them to leave.

NEVER pick the teeth, scratch the head, blow the nose or clean your nails in company.

Never correct a person publicly.

Do not laugh at funny things being said until the climax is reached.

Do not go into public smelling of onions or garlic.

"It is not polite at a wedding to congratulate the bride. She should receive wishes for her future happiness. The bridegroom in the one who is to be congratulated; he is the fortunate one."

A husband and wife should not play cards together, nor should two persons be partners in every game.

Always be on time.

"Do not laugh at your own wit, allow others to do it."
