TWO .MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, November 28, 1955 Family Manners Part of New Eti By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Presi Correspondent New York !U.R) People used to refer to etiquette books when there was a question about forks or formal invitations, but that's the least of a modern book on manners. Husband grouchy when he gets up in the morning. Consult the etiquette book. What to name the baby. Con sult the etiquette book. Taking a bath in a foreign country. Consult the etiquette book. Wannta write your congress man a nasty letter? That's in there too. . And if you're tempted to write a passionate love letter well, you might just read one sentence in the etiquette book, to wit: "Love, letters are sometimes bombshells." Scope Broadened All those matters, and some 650 pages of other private and personal problems, are dealt with in the latest revised edition of Amy Vanderbilt's complete book of etiquette, published to morrow by Doubleday. As high society has ceased having such rigid rules of admit tance and behavior, the social experts have broadened their scope to include manners for family occasions. Under the heading, "The Agreeable Husband," Miss Van- derbilt writes that if a man must be grouchy before coffee in the morning, he should be sure the family understands that there is nothing personal about it. She also lists the following ruies for agreeable husbands: Clean And Presentable "The agreeable husband con ducts himself at the table exact ly as if guests were present. He is clean, combed and generally presentable ... he should limit his smoking to the end of the meal using an ash tray instead of dishes as ash receptacles . . . Election Planned By Wenonah Club Officers for Wenonah club will be elected at a meeting of the group December 1 in Red man hall whe,n a covered dish luncheon will be served. Pocahontas lodge members also will be elected officers at their meeting to be held Friday, December 2 at 8 p.m., in Red man hall. Study Group The morning study group of Medford League of Women Vot ers will meet Wednesday, No vember 30, at the home of Mrs. Fred Carr, 16 Florence avenue, at 9:45 a.m. Mrs. Irving Thomas will lead discussion.

Important quette Book "No well-brought-up husband should ever bring anyone ex cept a most intimate friend home to dinner without sufficient warning to his wife." Ther e is also a secton o There is also a section on agreeable wives, with emphasis on personal good grooming and tidy habits around the house. Etiquette rules are designed to make life simpler and more pleasant, after all, and life around the house could stand a little of both. "Perhaps it is impossible for most husbands to understand everything about their wives," Miss Vanderbilt points out in her family section, "and . . . even relatively uncomplex husbands are never completely understood by the women they've married. But both husband and wife can try to find the widest possible area of agreement." Butte Falls Group Adopts Constitution At Recent Meeting Butte Falls A special meet- ins of the Butte Falls Lion au xiliary was held last week at the home of Mrs. Bruce Pingle, the president.
