Have you a for the entertainment committee of one of your school clubs
and then found that you are a little afraid not of the club once or she isn't
but afraid. What is the correct thing to do afraid of not knowing what is proper.
The president of this club.
Barbara is suggesting it hurts land served with her on the entertainment committee
and the sponsor is willing that they should go ahead.
The first social event of their season as a mother daughter team.
Barbara knows the girls are fearful because they have never attended a T.V. Before.
And actually there is nothing to be afraid of but and think
that teeny could not be as much fun as any kind of game. Joan as well. English I.
Corinne is bored variable.
However Barbara knows that in spite of what they say
or how they act they are not eager to give a team because they aren't sure of how
they should dress or how they should behave.
Biber isn't finding much enthusiasm
but at least the girls are agreeing to divide up the work of preparing for the tea
after all women have been serving tea to their friends for a long long time
and there is no reason why the girls shouldn't learn how the team is only a formal
way of entertaining and showing respect to others.
Atika itself is simply the way one polite person shows consideration for another
June's share of preparing for the team is the making out of in the. Patients.
But he is running into problems and would welcome a little help.
Viber is sympathetic because he has gone through the experience
and knows the questions that are troubling Jim but he'd like themselves.
They won't learn if someone else does the work for them.
Corinne covers up her not knowing about invitations by pretending
that she thinks TS are Dahlan beneath her and doesn't know either.
So she acts as if the writing of invitations were useless formality something
that should be done much more simply.
Of course some invitations are made simply and directly
but should the invitation to a formal T. Be made by phone.
Barbara is saying No definitely no and should know
that the formality of the invitation varies with the format of think of the
occasion. If this were a small T.V.
or Just a few close friends then a phone call might be all right.
But what they are planning is a more formal occasion one for the mothers of the
club members.
June thinks it is about time she consulted a book of etiquette and found
that for a tea towel and in June are ready to admit
that they too are curious.
So Barbara explains
that the invitation is like a memorandum it is sent two weeks in advance to allow
the guest time to plan on attending.
The invitation needs to give only the name the date the hour.
And the place
but it may give the purpose as well it may be thought of as telling like a
newspaper story of the who what why when and where.
The form shown in the etiquette books do not have to be followed strictly they can
be varied to meet different needs.
Bobber is willing to make out an invitation form for their use.
But she does insist that they all help in the writing so
that they may practice their learning Barbara.
And June believe they have the invitation made out correctly now
but halfway.
The team first club requests the pleasure of your company on Friday the sixth of
October from four until six in Stanley Hall.
And now there is another matter
that Barbara is concerned with what about the handwriting itself.
Would anyone be flattered to receive an invitation as messy as this.
And can write clearly and evenly entry should so
that her handwriting can be ready easily. This is all that is required of it.
I handwritten invitation is meant to be a friendly and personal message
that handwriting shouldn't be childish or think that
or badly spaced it should be neat and well mannered.
The writing doesn't have to be perfect or an imitation of an engraved card
but as a matter of courtesy the person who receives it should be able to read it
easily. But one of the R.S.V.P.
In the corner would please reply be better.
Anyway Barbara is making the girls learn the basic idea is
that the invitation should be as formal as the occasion will be.
And that the form of the in the school. The basic ideas are really quite simple.
They invitations have been sent out in the replies are beginning to come back
but still there is no real enthusiasm for giving the tea as far as the girls are
concerned it is all Barbara's idea or the Crow. Upside. The T.V.
Is still a long way off
and they are not eager to be planning for something they don't expect to enjoy.
Rob or wishes they could see
that they haven't any enthusiasm because they think the party won't be any fun.
They think these parties are involved
and stuffy only because they don't know about them.
She insists
that if they don't learn the etiquette of attending teams they can never enjoy them
and if they never go to tea as they will be missing a very enjoyable way of meeting
friends and making new ones.
The etiquette is easy to learn if they will just pay a little attention to it.
For instance the replies to their invitations.
Do they know how a reply should be made correctly.
Mrs Samuel August Brown accepts with pleasure.
The kind invitation of the teen timers club on Friday the sixth of October in
Stanley Hall three sixty seven says eleven.
Again the WHO WANT TO WEAR went of the invitation.
Again it is simple and sensible
and not nearly as step as it first seems apparently Coleen thinks
that there is one part of the T.V. that Feel enjoy. The formal dress.
However to one and then think she is overdoing it. And definitely So does Barbara.
The T. Is formal Yes and it requires formal dress.
Yes but formal dress must be in good taste in the first place.
Calling will be acting as a hostess not against.
She will not be wearing a coat let alone a fur coat she will not be carrying a bag.
Calling arguers the tree ought to be allowed to wear whatever she thinks is
becoming too or. But June
and think she would look silly in trying to serve tea to guests in an ensemble as
elaborate as that.
Even if calling suppose that she were a guest
and if you were going to an extremely formal tea she would still be far overdressed.
Good taste in dress depends more on line and color than on richness ornamentation.
Moreover in acting as a hostess.
Coreen will dress quite simply no gloves
and certainly not the long white gloves which are intended for formal evening wear
jewelry should not be overdone.
Hats are worn only by the guests.
There is nothing at all wrong in Coleen's wanting to dress formally
but she must learn what is in good taste.
But it changes the subject to ask Corinne what she is planning as entertainment for
the team going confesses that he hasn't even thought of it.
And suggestion of a basketball game is vetoed.
And could be something that everyone at the T. On and old alike in and.
Calling has suggested dramatic readings.
She of course would do the acting something like the sample she is offering
but Barbara and June seem to believe
that Koreans acting might not be as entertaining as she thinks.
And interrupts to feel her idea of what would be a simple way of dressing for the
tea but nonetheless simple and colorful but as the others agree it lacks dignity.
Coreen care of the idea of formal dress to one extreme and is going to the other.
Barber is trying to explain
that etiquette tilting the correct dress for each occasion doesn't require a larger
expensive wardrobe. Good taste doesn't require a great deal of. Money.
But etiquette
and taste must be learned the dresses they all wear as hostesses will be formal
but simple while serving tea they will not want to be encumbered with gloves hats
heavy on events or corsages the requirements of etiquette are only sensible
and good taste requires
that each person to his clothes which will set off his personality to best
advantage. That's only sensible to.
Anne's wanting to wear her tailored suit is wrong for her as a hostess.
Although it would be all right for against more over the lines of a tailored suit
or wrong for her figure
and make her look here.
Since the girls are so uncertain of what is correct and in good taste.
Bob or a suggests
that they try putting on a style show as the entertainment for the T.V..
It would interest. Everyone old and young.
Or would they prefer a musical films book review. Suddenly another question arises.
Should the type of entertainment have been mentioned on the invitation.
Barbara has to admit she doesn't know actually her invitation was correct.
He would have a T.M.
Tries practicing at home she has at last admitted to or south
that she has much to learn.
She knows he is bungling even though she is trying hard much he isn't sure of
anything where the teapot should be placed where the cup should be or the spoons
and plates how the lemon or cream and sugar are offered.
These are details that they make all the difference between being graceful
and being awkward. And when she hears her friends.
She hopes she can make them show her what is right.
Call rain and two when are intrigued
and they're sympathetic with Iran because the same problems have been bothering
them.
And is discovering that there are a lot of small questions
that need to be answered. She is beginning to worry about the mistakes
that you might make at the T.
He wants by British show her first how the poor should serve correctly
and after
when she wants to be shown how a guest should act she would like to know even
though she won't pour or be a guest.
As for the pouring that is simple.
Everything is placed where it can be reached easily then one pours in a way
that is efficient but also develops graceful habits.
As to how a guest should act that is simple to.
Barbara knows the questions that are in the minds of the others.
So she will show them the answers.
I guessed may go directly to the tea table herself to be served our she may wait
for someone to serve
or if she is wearing a veil she will put it out of her way her bag will then be
placed under or over her arm and she will remove her gloves.
She will help herself to a napkin plate spoon and whatever she wishes to eat.
The poor will ask her preference as to lemon or cream
and sugar of course other drinks than team may be served coffee for instance
or punch the guest will take her choice.
She will continue to chat and eat or drink and
when she is finished she will praise her plate out of the way.
It is all very simple and really quite enjoyable
when one learns how.
NAM comes the team itself all is going smoothly the guests are being received.
And vibra hopes the girls will find the T.
To be fun and is meeting in the guest of honor someone like yourself. That's right.
She should not be chewing gum.
There is one mistake or an but she is not letting it trouble
or Cheney ushers the mother
and daughter to the tea table ready to serve them.
So far there have been no difficulties in the making
and receiving of introductions.
And Barbara hopes her girls will do well even though she didn't grill them may
should know the fundamentals of waiting to be introduced of introducing a younger
person to an older one.
I was shaking hands only when the person to whom you are introduced offers a hand.
Joan is doing very well but and is inclined to be athletic and her handshake.
Coreen to theatrical.
However improvements in the girl's manners will depend on their seeing the need for
improvement and they will see the need when they realize
that etiquette is primarily the means by which one shows his respect
and consideration for another party is essentially a way of showing friendliness.
It is the friendliness respect and consideration that count
that are really enjoyable the Tea Party could be larger or smaller
and more formal or less the same as could be elaborate or very simple
and still the most important thing would be the real sociability behind it.
And for instance has no difficulty in getting.
Along with her school friends she knows what they consider friendliness
and so she knows how to act toward them soon.
Perhaps she will be at ease with any group of people.
They are as are the things
that have to be learned the stylist for example is very much like Corinne
but she has learnt not to be affected on an trickle for such manners offend those
who don't understand them but she understands Coreen
and her theatrical handshake
and simply pulls it down to the proper level brain is happy to find herself
understood
and is particularly careful to introduce the stylist to the pores in the most
gracious way she knows.
Carving feels especially friendly toward the stylist
and finds it a genuine pleasure to serve or Also no Carina is aware
that the stylist is demonstrating as Barbara has shown them how one can deal with a
bag and remove her gloves unobtrusive out interfering with a conversation.
Carina is realizing to the chief Mike never have made the stylist acquaintance.
If it were not for the tea for her.
This is a strong argument in favor of teas the stylist is one with whom she
would like to make friends for Corene the T.V.
Is already a success beyond their value as food
they are a symbol of hospitality.
They are a mark and are just your friendliness and they are served in a manner
that is intended to show respect for the guests dignity and good breeding.
The silver teapots could just as well be China.
The food much simpler and sterile the importance
and the value of a Tea Party would be there. Corina is finding itself.
And if we may judge from the way
that Anne is bustling about eager to serve our guests.
It would seem that Cheeto was enjoying the party in a way she didn't anticipate.
But to us trying to serve the guests with the same speed and energy.
She would put into a basketball game a little too fast and there's a pen.
One shouldn't take accidents too seriously.
Except to say that they don't happen again.
The guest of honor puts an idiot by congratulating her ironically on playing a fast
game and making a good shot.
That the sponsor explains
that the show is intended only as a beginning style is not the same thing as
fashion which changes style as the use of definite principles of design.
It doesn't require expensive clothes
but it does require good taste style is the art
and science of enhancing one's personality through clothes.
It involves the practical considerations of how to emphasize good features
and mask the less attractive ones. I'm hoping those lines colors bricks.
So as to meet the problems of the individual figure the tall figure is broken with
horizontal lines the short figure heightened with vertical lines one person appears
larger in white. The heavy person looks smaller in black.
If the hips are large attention is focused on the shoulders
or bunched the thickness or thinness the fabrics can seem to add
or take off weight.
Colors and color combinations or you'd like lines and accessories for effect.
It is what the OP would use the principles like me is
that the smart woman learns to dress in a way that simps her personality.
As a stylist begins to analyze the first series of dresses in terms of good design
the sponsor takes an opportunity to congratulate Barbara
and the Committee on their success.
The girls are enjoying themselves their fears are gone they can look forward with
pressure the other party to the girls has learned for herself radio meaning about.
