White Gloves and Party Manners door Marjabelle Young
Already out of date when I read it, but it went with the class that my mom put me in. I enjoyed the class, though. Still have the book with Marjabelle Stewart's obituary tucked inside it from a newspaper clipping. I no longer have the white gloves, though. In fact, I don't think I ever had an occasion to wear them.
This is a simple book on manners written in 1965. While some of the instructions seem old fashion, most are relivant regardless of time. We may not have maids that serve our meals, but not talking with your mouth full is good manners today as well as 50 years ago. Instructions on basic introductions, good table and phone manners, parties, going out to restaurants and movies, and general social interactions are all covered.
Like all books such as this, it's an excellent resource. But most children will learn their manners from parents, not a book. For me, it reminded me of the basics that my mother sought to teach me and how I've let myself slide a bit as grew. This was a refresher course for me, and I recommend it to anyone looking for the same thing.… (meer)
