9. In this matter, there should lie a reciprocity; a lady who suffers her friend to pay all such little costs is wanting in breeding. Such conduct in a man would be called selfish vulgarity, and he would be promptly denounced as a " sponge." 412 TWENTIETH CENTURY HOME COOK BOOK. VII. General Rules for Traveling. 1. In traveling, be considerate of others. Never occupy two seats while others are standing. 2. Make way prompt!}' and pleasantly; not as if you were doing a favor, but only granting a just right. 3. Never keep your window open, if it annoys a lady, or even a gentleman who is an invalid, or weaker or much older than yourself. 4. You are not obliged to continue an acquaintance begun while traveling, though if mutually agreeable there is no reason why a friendship may not be formed thus. 5. Never permit a lady to stand while you are seated. An aged gentleman demands the same courtesy. (j. Never enter into disputes with either passengers or officials. Avoid all causes of contention. If any imposition is practiced, it may be remedied by an appeal to the higher officials of the company, or if they should refuse to act, by bringing the matter into court. 7. Avoid all games of chance with strangers, however innocent they may seem. It is only a very silly person who is ready to volunteer to assist in making up a game of cards with strangers. A gambler, able to protect himself against swindling, might do so with impunity, but a gentleman can not afford to take such chances. 8. Avoid any exhibitions of activity in getting on and off trains while in motion, or springing to a wharf before a steamer has fairly landed. The shghtest slip may cause a loss of a limb or of life. VIII. Etiquette in Washington. The etiquette of the courts of Europe is firmly established by a code of enact- ment, as rigorously observed as is the civil, or penal code of the country. 1. Even at our national capital, a code has been agreed upon, to prevent the frequent clashing of rival claims. The order of public precedence has been fixed thus: First, The President and members of his family. Second, Heads of Departments. Third, Governors of States. Fourth, Justices of the Supreme Court. Fifth, Members of Congress. Sixth, The Diplomatic Corps. Seventh, Military and Naval Officers. Eighth, All others. 2. This is the order of reception on the First of January and the Fourth of July, when the public receptions of the President are held, beginning at noon. 3. On all other occasions the Supreme Judges rank next to the President and Vice-President. ETIQUETTE OF THE WEDDING, THE ROAD AND THE CAPITAL. 413 4. The Vice-President pays a final call on the President on the assembling of Congress. 5. From all others he is entitled to the first call. These calls he may return in person or by card. 6. The members of the Supreme Bench call upon the President and Vice-Presi- dent on the meeting of their court, which is in December. Also on New Year's day and the Fourth of July. 7. From all others they are entitled to the first call, and thus, socially, outrank all others, except the President and Vice-President. 8.
