To end a date, the girl should place her unfolded napkin to the left of her plate and look questioningly at her escort.
The male should always pay for the meal.
It is not proper for a single girl to have dinner in a bachelors apartment without an escort.
Men should stand when a woman enters or leaves a room.
Men should always enter a cab first so the woman doesn't have to "scoot" over in a dress.
Men should walk on the curb side of the sidewalk.
From the 1895 Book of Social Rules no doubt?

Common courtesy on the men's hat removal at ANY dining establishment. Any man keeping his on in a dining establishment is a crude lout. 'Nuff said.
