Merry Christmas 8 nd Happy New Year to all Vrs. Anna Stah! Main Road, Fernbrook in etiquette. Here they are: 1. First-name calling. Miss Kent finds no fault with this practice in circles where it's taken for granted. She says that position and age should be respected, and children shouldn’t call adults by their first names. 2, Trousers on women. “Slacks are not incorrect dress for resort areas, sports, and lounging at home,” says this expert, “but are improper for 2ity wear. Of course,” she adds, “some women are mistaken to wear them ever.” 3. The younger set (past vighteen) after midnight. The modern young woman and her young man head for home alone or with other young friends, stopping off for a late 3nack. 4. Posture. “I don’t believe we should revert to the ram- rod stiffness required when our grandmothers were young wo- men,” says Miss Kent, “but a little more gracefulness of pos- ture would eliminate a great American cyesore.” 5. The tyrewriter supersedes the pen. The typewriter for personal cor-espondence is now aot merely approved but fa- vored. Formal notes, such as answers to formal invitations, should be penned by hand. And letters of sympathy seem warmer and more sincere if handwritten. 6. Manners after divoree. Years ago, divorced couples TEN IMPORTART ETIQUETTE CHANGES LISTED BY EMILY POST'S ASSISTALT Anne Kent, personal assistant to Emily Post for more than 15 years, has listed for the December issue of Cosmopolitan magazine the ten most important changes shunned each other. But today, many of them remain good friends or, at least, on sy-al- ing terms. 7. Women and nicotine. Sherry’s, famous old New York society restaurant, for- bade any woman to light a cigarette on the premises. The modern woman reaches for a cigarette almost whenever er ~herever she has the whim. 8. Calling on new neighbors. This old American custom is vanishing, a casvalty of World War II. Miss Kent belivves that “people's instinctive kind- ness will eventually bring back the courtesy call. 9. Buffet meals replace big dinners. The modern hostess who gives a dinner party can prepare ahead of time, relax, and ask the guests fo help themselves. 10. The decline ef chivalry. Since gaining a more equal status with men, women no longer expect deference as the “weaker” sex. Unless she’s in- firm or elderly, the modern woman must hustle for a seat on the subway. And that old nats-off-in-elevator rule has been completely revoked in business-building elevators. According to Miss Kent, feminine independence has been paid for out ef the cur- rency of male chivalry. And many a woman seems to be- lieve the purchase isn't worth the price.
