About this audiobook
This 1908 guide to high society tells you exactly how to behave in New York and Newport: at country-house weekends, dinners, dances, bridge, the theater and calls, and how to tip. It is written with a perfectly straight face and is entirely a joke. Its advice includes always arriving half an hour late and what to do when a lady bows from a passing carriage.
Frank Crowninshield wrote it for the rich, the almost rich and anyone who has wondered how they live. Mark W. Cohan reads it. It is a funny look at the manners and fads of the American upper class more than a hundred years ago.
For anyone who likes dry humor and period satire.
