A somewhat ambivalent and patronizing post-war etiquette guide for African Americans visiting or residing in our nation's capital city. Mr. Edward S. Green advises the aspiring lady or gentleman on "correct styles" for dress and calling cards, on the art of conversation, on behavior at balls, dances, parties – and at church.
