  • Do not borrow things. But if your host lends you a book or a raincoat, return them (with thanks) before you leave.

  • If you lose or damage something, own up to it. Offer a replacement or repairs.

  • Never, ever complain. And show your appreciation. Compliment the decor. Compliment the cooking. Even if you hated the visit, says manners expert Letitia Baldrige, "never criticize your hosts behind their backs."

  • Always use coasters.
