Published in September 1942, Today’s Etiquette covers weddings, divorce, dinners, teas, children’s manners, and wartime etiquette. The wartime section gives this edition its particular interest: alongside the familiar rules of social life are the expectations of a country at war.

Lillian Eichler’s advice records the conventions people were expected to know, from formal occasions to behavior at home. Today, those instructions make the book a source for understanding the manners and assumptions of the period.

This New Home Library edition is bound in reddish-brown cloth with black decorative borders and a publisher’s emblem. The front board has been reinforced with professional document tape; otherwise, the copy is in very good plus condition. No dust jacket.
