Proper Etiquette in 1918: Gentlemen, Remove Your Hat When You Eat
From the October 17, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Bacl."
1918, 100 Years Ago.
"The old-fashioned man who is used to running into the house at meal time, sitting down to the table without removing his hat, consuming the meal before him and again rushing out, only to spend the time doing nothing. In a local restaurant an elderly man accompanied by a woman stopped for dinner, and the man calmly sat at the table, did not remove his hat and hurriedly ate his food.
"There were others in the dining room at the time but the man cared not, for he did not remove his hat all the time he was in the place. It is not often that such people are seen nowadays, as nearly everyone knows that when he sits at a table in a restaurant he is expected to have respect enough for other women, if not for the one he is with, to remove his hat."
If you ate your food in front of my mom and left your baseball cap on, you'd sure hear about it.
