Emily Post Writes articles
On Etiquette for "This Week.
Prestige as Hrbiter of
Society Due to Ac-
cide1at. sNs
Will Touch on Topics
Readers Questions
Bring Up.

Emily Post will tell you quite frank
ly that her prestige as the Lady
Chesterfield of America, high priest
ess of etiquette and social decorum
was mere accident III her life. A
publisher, looking over the field, had
suddenly hit upon the unique idea Of
having somebody write book on eti-
quette who knew something about the
subject. Emily Post, member Of New
York's social elite, would certainly
know 1t. In addition she was a sue
cessful novelist with an flowing
pen. The social scenes in her novels
always rang true and she never made
the mistake Of putting a frock coat
on a traffic cop, as less sophisticated
authors are likely to do.
She took up the publishers chal-
lenge, but not without misgivings.
The publisher admitted to her that he
had some misgivings himself. There
was firm distributing book on eti-
quette through direct-mail advertise
ments which always began with "Ev-
erybody Uttered when I picked up the
fish fork" and Everybody Uttered
when I took her left arm" The re-
suit was that everybody Uttered when
ever a book on etiquette was men
toned. Nevertheless Mrs. Post went
briskly to work, determined to turn
out q book that would be absolutely
non -titterable. Funk & Wagnalls, the
publishers, still tell you with wonder
how she struggled over the 687 pages
of proofs, again and again, to make
sure that there should be not single
slip that would lay the book open to
some mischief minded Eumorist.
In 1922 her task was in the laps
of the public. Etiquette: the Blue
Book of Social Usage" is still the best
seller In the field and two Of its
strongest markets are the neighbor-
hoods around Harvard and Yale,
