Perfect Behavior: A Guide for Ladies and Gentlemen in All Social Crises

However, if you do decide to come here, perhaps it would be better to leave father in New York because I know he wouldn’t like it at all with nothing but women and girls around and I am sure that he couldn’t get his glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast and he would have a much better time in New York. But if he does come please mother don’t let him wear that old gray hat or that brown suit, and mother couldn’t you get him to get some gloves and a cane in New York before he comes? And please, mother dear, make him put those “stogies” of his in an inside pocket and would you mind, mother, not wearing that brooch father’s employees gave you last Christmas? I shall be awfully glad to see you both but as I say it would be better if you let me come to New York where you and father will be ever so much more comfortable. Your loving daughter, JEANNETTE.
