Our Deportment

This book is an authority on the mannerisms of the late 1800’s. Although much of it may be outdated as the times and society has changed, it is still a valuable reference and a mirror look into a time when social skills and values were defined by people and their actions, rather than digital posts. This guide comes complete with examples of the proper styling of form letters in reference to invitations and other correspondence. The book gets deep into all aspects of social mannerisms and if nothing else, a great snapshot of the mannerisms and its expectations in society at the turn of the century. It is authentic and very fluid. Everything from proper dress to everyday mannerisms is covered with nothing over looked. It is a detailed guide to becoming a respected high society participant. The book is well written and offers all the extras to set it apart from other texts on the subject. And yes, it is from a different era but the fact remains it is the foundation for today’s acceptable mannerisms. The book is a wonderful historical reference and can even be used as personal guideline for improving your own high society mannerisms.
