The etiquette of making (and keeping) a promise
by Jay Remer, the Etiquette Guy
A handshake is as good as a promise. Well, at least it used to be. I remember when I was a young boy my grandfather explained to me how business deals in the good old days were often concluded with merely a hand shake, which was as good as a signature. It seems that over time the integrity of this informal agreement has sadly all but disappeared. It can be very disheartening for someone who has honorable intentions to be painted with the same broad brush as the unscrupulous. And in our changed world people are skeptical. erring on the side of caution. The verbal promise sealed with a handshake is no longer the acceptable way.

Applying makeup in public: not so genteel
by Prunella de Pedant
Call me old-fashioned, but I believe that there are some things we do for ourselves that should remain behind closed doors. Applying makeup is one such activity. Perhaps, it's because I believe that lipstick, blush and mascara belong in one's handbag or boudoir - not brought out to be shared with strangers in a moving carriage.
