Summary "The Etiquette of To-day" by Edith B. Ordway is a handbook on social manners and etiquette written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a guide to navigating social interactions with grace and confidence, outlining rules of conduct that have been developed over generations. Ordway emphasizes that etiquette is essential for achieving happiness and successful interpersonal relationships, making it a vital aspect of personal development for both men and women in society. At the start of the handbook, the author introduces the concept of etiquette as a social game governed by rules, suggesting that those who play well will reap rewards in terms of happiness and social acceptance. She encapsulates the essence of modern etiquette with the "Golden Rule": treating others as one wishes to be treated. Furthermore, she discusses the importance of personality and character in executing good manners, emphasizing that true etiquette arises from unselfish consideration for others. The opening sets a foundational understanding of etiquette's value not only in social contexts but also in business and personal relationships, preparing readers for the detailed guidelines and insights that follow in subsequent chapters.
