Everybody was more polite than they are now. At least in my head. Caution: Ignore the bit where they tell you to only tip your waiter 10. It was written in the 30's. Now 20 is acceptable, anything less is cheap. Never once does the reader feel condescended to and the examples of what not to do that they use are never vicious. They talk about the importance of gratitude (you may not have to write a thank-you-note, but at least say thank you to your hostess), drinking (it's alright to have a cocktail, but for God's sake know your limits), self awareness (your mirror truly is your best friend), and money (don't live beyond your means and know how to balance an account book). As I said, this is not a rule book, but it is a book on how to put your best foot forward and I think it's a great little read. It's slim, only 156 pages, and it goes quickly. Pick it up if you've got an interest in being charming or if you want to research what women were told in the 1930's. It's great as an historical curiosity and a reference book. So funny (because it was written in 1938) BUT still surprisingly relevant to 2012 in many ways. It's like reading advice from a spunky grandmother (in fact, I can actually imagine my own grandmother saying some of these things.) Love it!

Sure, the first half of the book dwells on physical appearance for far too lon. I give it three and a half stars. Sure, the first half of the book dwells on physical appearance for far too long, but it makes sense that careful grooming and personal hygiene are desired in every era.http://ghalemdi.com/userfiles/dirks-manual-records.xml I like that the two authors of this book sound remarkably advanced in their beliefs and values; they have progressive ideas about race and gender, and their witticisms liven up the pages of this short, engaging book.Reads like a primer for an aspiring Martha-Stewart wannabe in a nice English countryside, as told by a well-meaning grandmotherly type, before the days of magazines and mooks. Reads like a primer for an aspiring Martha-Stewart wannabe in a nice English countryside, as told by a well-meaning grandmotherly type, before the days of magazines and mooks. However, there are still some things to be gained from parts of the book. Would love to read a more modern etiquette book. It's a little dated but worth a read. I am so glad Chronicle books reprinted this 1938 masterpiece. It's a little dated but worth a read. I like this one because it is largely behavior-focused, as opposed to the numerous charm books that spend a lot of time stressing the importance one’s outward appearance. Sure, it helps to be presentable (and yes, it is covered a bit here) but we all know true beauty comes from within. This little guide is a good reminder that it’s not your job to correct others, to make your feelings known about every topic discussed, or to always be “right.” I like this one because it is largely behavior-focused, as opposed to the numerous charm books that spend a lot of time stressing the importance one’s outward appearance.

When I initially picked up this “Guide to Charm,” originally published in 1938, I wondered what relevance remained for a book that guides its readers on skincare for a generation raised on Retin-A and Proactiv. But for all we know and all we’ve learned in the past seventy years, we haven’t exactly perfected the art of charm. While it’s all generally good advice, it is more often than not antiquated. I’m much more likely to hit the gym, than perform the exercises illustrated in this book. And no matter how much I practice lowering myself gracefully into my chair while in public, at the end of the day, I’m still going to plop down on my couch in sweatpants. The book’s second section, while still providing a dose of “Duh” advice, thoughtfully reminds its modern readers of easily forgotten manners. Perhaps, we shouldn’t be overly generous with our “Thank Yous” for fear that its genuine meaning get lost. And I can think of about a million people I’ve encountered on public transportation who could use a friendly reminder of how to talk on the phone. Throughout, our authors are careful not to criticize and maintain an evenhanded and good humored tone about what they are dishing out.http://condit-pack.com/images/como-fazer-la-os-manual.pdf They emphasis the importance of learning to accept yourself as you really are, advising, “Never be afraid of doing the wrong thing.” The only bad manners are those in which one intends harm, and in this world of constant speculation, where tweets go up faster than a weave in flames, we too often worry to excess how we come across. So, while parts of the guide might be out of date, (too few women work for money to know how to manage it), some things never change (if you talk too loud, people will shut their ears off to you). Likely, no matter your experience or disposition, you’ll take away some gem of advice or a friendly reminder. It may also be the perfect gift for the young girl in your life who you fear might one day end up on For the Love of Ray J 9. Though the idea of charm may endure, the specifics of what is considered charming and chic has changed.Though the idea of charm may endure, the specifics of what is considered charming and chic has changed. However, it can be boiled down to some sense: cleanliness and general inoffensiveness can set the stage for a good interaction. I found myself appreciating just how funny the examples are (though really, I've found myself in a similar boat). The illustrations too are worth a chuckle. Overall, very much like a well-meaning, if slightly silly aunt with lots of opinions and good advice who somehow manages to coax laughs and avoid being annoying.

And, at it's heart, thats a mood I can get behind. And it is still worth reading. Not all of the advice is applicable, of course -- times do change -- but it is worth reading for the understanding the history at the time and for taking what still works. Unintentionally (and sometimes intentionally) hilarious and fun to read. It gives insight into the mind of the American female WASP.

I offer summary of the philosophy put forth in this guide: Charm is the result of genuinely unself-conscious kindness and respect towards yourself and others. Forget all the old maxims about not judging a book by its cover, and remember that first impressions MUST be surface impressions.It had some tips on things like making good conversation (which I badly need), good skin care and makeup habits, choosing a well curated wardrobe even on a tight budget, and weight maintenance (on which I can also use help).

The only thing that bugged me were the descriptions of weight loss exercises, which I couldn't make heads or tails of. I was all excited to get fit doing some really old-timey exercises for elegant ladies, but I couldn't figure out what the movements were supposed to be. Otherwise, I really loved this book. I love reading etiquette advice, especially from decades ago. I loved it for two reasons: 1) The advice is still good for modern day. Much of the book you can read and not even realize that you are reading something written for an audience in the 1930s. I expected the book to be dated and give me a laugh.

To assemble the ingredients, read. Read lots of different things. Read newspapers that express a viewpoint contrary to your own; read periodicals that have thoughtful, provocative articles; read books that tell of places and persons of current interest; read fiction, of course, but not to the exclusion of all other things.” Think how they feel, how they react, and guide your own conduct by that.”.

The languorous woman had her place in the secure world of the eighteen nineties. The hoyden had her place in the shattered postwar epoch. Both were charming in so far as they blended with the scenery and needs of their period. In short, charm has many ageless qualities, but its outward signs are born of the period, the day’s news, the tempo of the times. The charming woman, whether she slopped around in unbuckled galoshes, or drove part-time shifts in a prairie schooner, was the one who evaluated her epoch and accepted its standards, at least sufficiently to spare herself accidental bumps. This restless time is so varied, so quick in its changes, that it takes a mental trapeze artist to discover and accept its framework. New social orders have come into being. New words describing new forms of government and new techniques have come into the language. Some of the very things we have come to accept as immutable are being scrutinized and hotly debated—freedom of speech, democracy, the right to eat, the pursuit of happiness, liberty versus authoritarianism. With such a rapidly shifting picture, the modern woman, as apt to be working as at home, has no easy task discovering what her role should be. Is it charming to be hard. Is it charming to question fundamentals. Is it even wise? Should one bother with charm in a troubled world. Let’s answer the last question first. No matter how wide your horizon, no matter how profound your convictions, you still function on a small piece of the canvas of our world. It is easier to live smoothly, to make your background recede into its proper place, if you live charmingly. It is easier to make your convictions acceptable to others, if you add charm to reason. You should bother with charm in any sort of world, at home or in an office. The real problem is what constitutes charm for this particular era. And we are going to scratch down to the bare bones of some rather personal problems right now. Part One: WHAT YOU DO TO YOURSELF 1 Prelude to Charm ONCE in a lifetime you may meet that rare person whose face and appearance you forget, but whose charm remains indelible. It doesn’t happen often. What we see usually becomes a vital part of our impression of people, our brain picture. Your skin, your makeup, your hair, your hands, the way you sit, the way you stand—these are the priming coat, the background upon which all other qualities are imposed. What can you do to make your physical self more expressive of that important inner quality of warmth and friendliness. What your skin needs If you get a great lift out of a dozen sweet-smelling jars of creams and lotions on your dressing table, buy all you can afford. But buy them for their morale-building qualities. There are only three things a normal skin needs. Abnormal skin needs a doctor. Your skin needs a healthy diet. It can be no better than your stomach and your blood. Plenty of water, green vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk (but no excesses in food or drink) make your body healthy and are a basic diet for a healthy skin. The second necessity is proper external cleansing. Twice a day your skin must be thoroughly cleansed. You may belong to the soap and water school or the cream-cleansing school. The surest technique, and one that will serve for all parts of the country, is the combination of cream and soap and water. You can use this in the very dry West, the very humid East, and the dusty in-betweens. Give your face and neck a thorough application of any good cream, a gentle but complete wiping off, and then a lathery face-wash with a mild soap and warm water, followed by a rinse with cool water. The very dry skin that peels easily may need a light coating of cream after the rinse. The third essential is becoming makeup. And the clue is in the word becoming. Your makeup must become a part of you. If it is so off-key, if it is so startling that it dazzles, or so underdone that it causes spectators to worry over your health, it is not part of you. Freakish eyebrows, gooey eyelids, too-pale cheeks, and completely untouched-by-beauty-aids faces are all unnatural. What! No makeup at all unnatural. For an urban woman under sixty, yes. For though that woman may be as nature made her, she will look colorless among her brightened-up sisters. Makeup is a very simple matter of using your eyes, your color sense, and your hand. Any woman who can match a sample of thread to a piece of fabric can select the correct shades of makeup for herself. And any woman who can hold a pencil and make it write can apply lip-rouge, powder, and other cosmetics to her face. There is no magic, no mystery, no hidden trick. Color doesn’t grow in splotchy circles Your face is clean. Apply an all-over foundation cream (any reputable brand) in a shade that matches your skin tone. With the light shining on your face, prepare to do the rest of the job. If this is a daytime makeup, take a mirror (you can get a very adequate one for thirty cents) to the window, hang it on the window lock, and face it. Dip a big powder puff in a light-textured face powder that matches your skin tone; pat the powder on all over your face. Put on plenty. Use a soft powder brush (they’re sold in ten-cent stores) to brush off the excess powder. Apply rouge lightly to the cheeks. Never mind all the confusing details of planes and angles. This isn’t a mural for the Louvre, it’s your face. And you know, without art lessons, that natural color doesn’t grow in splotchy circles or streaky lines or huge rose-pink areas. Put your rouge on so that it looks like your own color, and blend it with your powder so that it fades into the normal shade of your own skin. Use a good quality lipstick. Again, use your color sense in choosing the shade of lipstick. If you are a white-skinned brunette with a faint blue cast to your skin, use a lipstick that tends toward the raspberry. If you are creamy-skinned with more yellow in your skin, use a lipstick that verges on the orange shades. The major job in lipstick application, and the one most neglected, is the completion of the task. The casual smear, the quick once-over, will not work. Get that brutal light on your face and apply your lipstick meticulously, so that it covers all parts of the lips evenly. Now bite down on a piece of cleaning tissue. This takes off the excess and prevents that most unlovely accident—lipstick on your teeth. If your brows are blonde or not well defined, use an eyebrow pencil lightly. And if you are out to be devastating, mascara on your eyelashes won’t hinder you. Look in the mirror at a stranger Once you are made up, forget it. You won’t need powder or lipstick for at least three hours. And when you do need repairing, retire to a ladies’ room, and repair carefully. The quick dab of powder and lipstick that we put on in public, we put on badly, probably because we don’t want to seem too interested in the performance. And no matter how much acceptance-through-custom this may have, the public performance of private beauty rites is not attractive. It is permissible when there is no retiring room—at a football game, for instance. Your hair There is more old-wivery and hocus-pocus on the sub- ject of hair than you could read in years. The first great question that comes up in any discussion is How often should hair be washed. The answer is the same for everyone whose hair and general health are normal. Hair, like any other part of your body, should be washed when it is dirty.
