  Dressing-rooms. At all entertainments,
       dressing-rooms should be provided for both
       the men and for the women, with suitable
       attendants, where all outer wraps, coats, over-
       shoes, etc., should be left.

DRIVING

  Men.  When driving with a woman, a man should
       be careful that the carriage is well drawn up
       to the steps, and that she be given time in
       which to comfortably seat herself before he
       begins to drive.

A man when driving with a woman should refrain from asking her permission to smoke, and, of course, would never do so without her permission.

       He should be careful to lift his hat as if he
       were on the street, and if this is not possible,
       to touch it with the whip in place of a bow.

The host of a coaching party, if he is also the whip, would give the chaperone the seat on the box at the left of his, unless he wished that seat to be occupied by some special young woman.  The person occupying this seat should always be helped by the host to climb to her place.

It is customary when the coach is a high one to seat a woman between two men, and they would ascend and descend in the order in which they were seated.

Even if the woman asks a man to drive with her, he should help her to her seat, and be ready to step down when a halt is made to assist her to alight.

It is not customary when a woman has asked a man to drive with her for her to call for him at his club or home, but to meet him at her house.

  Dress.  The whip wears a gray suit with a gray
       high hat and gray gloves, with a white silk
       tie and white linen.  But in summer this costume
       is often made lighter and more comfortable
       to suit the weather, and a straw hat
       or panama, with flannel trousers and dark
       serge sacque coat, would be in good taste.

       There are no hard and fast rules governing
       the dress of men when driving.

  Women.  The etiquette in general is the same
       for a woman as for a man.
