Stone Age etiquette: Married women have no first names. And I love the line about the proper way to address "trades people."
Gosh, Louise Davis’ etiquette columns are turning into a guilty pleasure. Check out her advice from 1961. Husband passed away? Parents dead? Children never call? Quit sniveling into your linen napkin, woman, and get over it! The sooner you stop, the sooner we girls can get back to what’s really important, like who’s been invited to the Throckmorton-Smythes’ dinner party at the club and comparing notes on what sororities our daughters are pledging (Ooohhh! Chi Omega legacy!).

Ah, this reminds me of when my father traded mother in for a much younger, much blonder woman. Mother’s biggest complaint was that The New Woman would be going on cruises and wearing tiaras and “we ALL know only married women can wear tiaras!”
Yes, and now I remember why father left mother. (The New Woman was much more fun for us all.)
