Specifikacia Book of Etiquette Two Volumes in One
This guide to good manners was produced by Lillian Watson in 1921 as a rewrite of the Encyclopedia of Etiquette by Emily Holt. Mining her own experience as a social misfit and would-be social climber for material, it was a huge hit with those aspiring to a grander station. Originally published in two volumes, but presented here in one combined edition, The Book of Etiquette covers: . the secret of social success . engagements and weddings . the intricacies of the social call . correspondence and invitations . use of the napkin . yachting parties for bachelors . musicals and private theatricals . some important rules about golf . the charm of correct speech . and much more... The only serious competitor to Emily Post as etiquette maven to America between the wars, LILLIAN EICHLER WATSON (b. 1902) was a 19-year-old copywriter for the book publisher Doubleday when she was commissioned to rewrite the outdated Encyclopedia of Etiquette by Emily Holt.
