Harry was an Irishman living in New Zealand. He was very proud of himself, of his physique, and of how every woman seemed to swoon over him. Little did he suspect, on what appeared to be just an ordinary day, that it would all soon change. Unemployed, he began considering drastic solutions, one of which was becoming an airline steward. Helen, a friend, supported him through his transformation after he made the hardest decision of his life. And when he stepped into the aisle on his first flight, feeling the snug fit of his uniform, he unexpectedly caught the attention of someone he knew a little too well. Used to getting everything his way, this familiar acquaintance was ready to take things in a direction Harry had never imagined.

In preparing a book of etiquette for ladies, I would lay down as the first rule, "Do unto others as you would others should do to you." You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be impolite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us; a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; there can be no _true_ politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility.
