Excerpt from Etiquette Made Easy

Mhero, first place is usually given to the French in matters of politeness. There is an old story that illustrates with remark able precision the national traits English and German. This has to do with the manner of lighting a cigar. The Frenchman strikes a match, offers the flame to his companions, then makes a light for himself. The Englishman lights his own cigar first, and then offers the match to his companions. The German lights his own 'cigar, then throws the match away. The brief recital contains something deeper than mere humor in its analysis of national characteristics. The consideration of the Frenchman for others rs indeed the essen tial basis for all true courtesy. Genuine politeness has its root always in a very real regard for the feelings of others.
