91. The Queen of Etiquette

The charm of her book lies in its structure, which resembles short-story collections featuring recurring characters, such as the Toploftys, the Eminents, the Richan Vulgars, the Gildings, and the Kindharts.

Her well-written daily column on good taste for the Bell Syndicate was highly popular and appeared in over 200 newspapers. Yes, you read it right – a daily column.

In fact, Emily Post began to write once her two sons were old enough to attend boarding school.
