I bought two funny books yesterday. One is 'Ettitique for Men', the other 'Ettitique for Women'. They were first published in 1927 and have some helpful hints on making your way in society. For example, I think I remember reading that you should make sure your calling cards are 3 and 1/4 inches long and 2 and a 1/2 inches high, whilst your husbands should be 3 inches long and 1 and 1/4 inches high. If you are calling on a woman and leave cards, leave three - one of yours for her, one of your husbands for her and one of your husbands for him. This is unless your husband is there, however, chances are, of course, that he will be busy with more important things in the city to accompany you on your calls.

I've placed these books in my fantasy section of my book room.
