Perfect Behavior [EPUB ebook] 
A Guide for Ladies and Gentlemen in All Social Crises

First published in 1922, this parody of etiquette and social mores makes fun of the pitfalls of courtship, engagement, and marriage, as well as such social settings as dinner parties, sporting events, and the theater. With satirical Jazz-era illustrations by Ralph Barton, known at the time for his caricatures of actors and other celebrities, the books humor holds up remarkably well today, with such crises as how to deal with a screaming baby in a crowded, confined space or how to write a proper love letter to ones fiancee. With Marx Brotherslike literary slapstick, Perfect Behavior is the perfect impulse gift for anyone who enjoys a good laugh over everyday social foibles.
