Etiquette means behaving yourself a little better than is absolutely essential.

Ever thought of an art of getting along with people without being rude or demanding. Getting into a position where you make people feel at ease with you in social situations because they know you won't make thoughtless remarks.

So here's your solution for all those questions you have about etiquette.
Enjoy the read and don't forget to leave a line if you've liked the post.
My Fav part from the book.....
"To the French we owe the word etiquette, and it is amusing to discover its origin in the commonplace familiar warning--"Keep off the grass." It happened in the reign of Louis XIV, when the gardens of Versailles were being laid out, that the master gardener, an old Scotsman, was sorely tried because his newly seeded lawns were being continually trampled upon. To keep trespassers off, he put up warning signs or
tickets--etiquettes--on which was indicated the path along which to pass. But the courtiers paid no attention to these directions and so the determined Scot complained to the King in such convincing manner that His
Majesty issued an edict commanding everyone at Court to "keep within the etiquettes." Gradually the term
came to cover all the rules for correct demeanor and deportment in court circles; and thus through the
centuries it has grown into use to describe the conventions sanctioned for the purpose of smoothing personal
contacts and developing tact and good manners in social intercourse. With the decline of feudal courts and the rise of empires of industry, much of the ceremony of life was discarded for plain and less formal dealing.
Trousers and coats supplanted doublets and hose, and the change in costume was not more extreme than the
change in social ideas. The court ceased to be the arbiter of manners, though the aristocracy of the land
remained the high exemplar of good breeding"
