Chapter Two
A GENTLEMAN GETS DRESSED
No matter what his age, a gentleman does not let his pants slip below his waist. Unless he is being photographed for an advertisement, he does not expose his underwear in public. In warm weather a gentleman always wears an undershirt. Unless he is a Texas Ranger or a cattle rancher, a gentleman does not wear cowboy boots with a suit.
A gentleman’s pants cuffs fall in a gentle break over his shoes. When he stands, his socks do not show. When a gentleman wears a double-breasted suit or a double=breasted sports coat, he never leaves his jacket unbuttoned.
A gentleman clips his nose hairs and the unsightly hair in his ears. As he grows older, he may also find it necessary to trim his eyebrows. As he grows older, a gentleman invests in a battery-operated hair trimmer so that he does not have to subject himseIf to the pain of plucking his nose hairs, much less his ear hairs, by means of a pair of tweezers.
A gentleman does not carry unnecessary paraphernalia in his pockets. A bulky key ring or a Swiss army knife destroys the line of even the most expensive pair of slacks.
