They eat at the hotel table as daintily and with as polite regard for the comfort Of their nearest neighbor as though they were among critical acquaintances. They never elbow mercilessly through crowded theatre aisles, nor stand up in front of others to see the pictures of a panorama, nor allow their children to climb upon the car seats with muddy or rough-nailed Shoes nor do a score of other things that every day are to be Observed in public places, the mortifying tell-tale marks Of an habitual ill-manners.
