Almost none of this advice seemed relevant to this day and age, as most ladies don't wear white kid gloves or have flounces on their skirts. That, and with the reduction of the american family, many ladies don't have close male relatives to escort them to balls.As a Victoriana-lover and interested historian, though, this was great. It told me how much to perfume my gloves and fan, should I need to know what was appropriate, and which color of sealing wax was de rigeur (sp? and ... bronze if you're curious).However, I know I nerded out on the strange specifics, but the general advice about returning correspondence promptly, not being self-absorbed, and visiting lengths depending on if you're there for condolences or congratulations could hold through to today very easily.
