2577. Having dressed yourself, pay no further attention to your clothes. Few things look worse than a continual fussing with your attire.
2578. Never scratch your head, pick your teeth, clean your nails, or worse than all, pick your nose in company; all these things are disgusting. Spit as little as possible, and never upon the floor.
2579. Do not lounge on sofas, nor tip back your chair, nor elevate your feet.
2580. If you are going into the company of ladies, beware of onions, spirits, and tobacco.
