A gentleman
sometimes tips or takes off his hat
to show respect to someone.
A gentleman takes off his hat
when he stops outdoors to talk to a woman
he knows.
He tips his hat when he lets an old lady
sit down in his place on a crowded bus.
A gentleman takes off his
hat
when a lady enters the elevator of an
apartment house.
But he leaves his hat on
on the elevator of a bank or a store.
A gentleman should always take off his
hat
when national anthem is played in a
public place
or when the flag is carried past him on
parade.
A gentleman must know
when to remove his hat, when to tip it,
and when to leave it on his head.
And if a gentleman can't remember
when to do what with his hat,
maybbe the gentleman shouldn't wear a hat.
