- Dinners in Society, by S.F.A. Caulfeild
(Girl's Own Paper, 1881)
- An excellent guide to how one is expected to behave, and what one can expect, at a society dinner, from how one will be greeted at the door to what courses to expect at the table. Amongst other excellent advice, "observe how highly-bred people eat asparagus..." and there by avoid the disgusting spectacle of drawing the mangled end from one's mouth in a ragged fringe!
- Table Manners, by Mrs. S.O. Johnston (Ingalls' Home Magazine, 1889)
- "Good manners at the table are of the greatest importance, for one can, at a glance, discern whether a person has been trained to eat well... to drink quietly, and not as a horse or cow drinks... There is no position where the innate refinement of a person is more fully exhibited than at the table."
- Some of the Social Graces, by Ruth Ashmore (Ladies Home Journal, 1896)
- Etiquette tips on visiting, invitations, weddings, table manners and more.
- The Touchstone of Good Manners, by Mrs. Burton Kingsland (Ladies Home Journal, 1896)
- All about good table manners, at home and abroad.
- After-Dinner Oratory, by Brander Matthew (Century Magazine, 1898B)
