Should a man remove his hat to kiss a lady?

— B.R.J., Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

A man kissing a lady on the street—in greeting or farewell (only)—should always remove his hat, no matter what the weather. He should be careful concerning this courtesy even—or perhaps I should say especially—with his wife or daughter.
