Holt, Emily.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ETIQUETTE: What to Write, What to Do, What to Wear, What to Say; A Book of Manners for Everyday Use. Revised and enlarged edition.
500 p. + Photo illustrations including several in color. 8vo. 8.5 x 7.75" Attractive original decorated full cloth binding. A wonderful record of proper behavior for the "upper classes" - just as World War One was threatening that way of life. Among the broad subjects are: introductions; dinners; table manners; engagements; weddings; balls & dances; luncheons; teas; theater and opera; house parties; musicales; garden parties; funerals; christenings; bachelor hospitalities; servants; correspondence; travel (including a nice bit on shipboard behavior); sports and games; etc. This edition is especially interesting because it includes photographs (one in color) of the enormously famous dance team Irene and Vernon Castle (later immortalized in the movies by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers). "The Castles were undoubtedly the most famous ballroom dancers of their day, and while they did not invent social dancing, they were among the first to make a career of it. Vernon was tall and slightly built, and Irene willowy, boyish, and yet thoroughly feminine. Together they were a breath of air for a world stuck in the stodgy Edwardian mode. And their brief, almost incandescent career stands as a metaphor of an entire glittering, fragile world soon to be shattered by the horror of world war." - From paragonragtime. ETIQ 1

Houdini Harry
A MAGICIAN AMONG THE SPIRITS
<p>Octavo bound in original slate gray cloth with gilt titles 294 pp. including index. Top edge stained yellow. Stated first edition in the <b>RARE ORIGINAL DUST WRAPPER.</b> Offsetting from old moisture damage evidenced by a white residue mark running the width of the rear cover approximately one inch from the top edge. The damage mirrors a stain on the wrapper's rear panel and spine. The stain while noticeable is less detracting than one might expect not affecting the spine of the book itself that is otherwise fine and bright. There is other minor soiling and wear to the dust wrapper but it is unfaded and complete lettered in navy blue against a pale turquoise ground. '"Price $4.00" is printed on the inner flap along with a list of Harper publications on psychology and psychoanalysis. The back flap and rear panel also serve as advertisements for current Harper publications. The front cover of the dust wrapper however is fully dedicated to the promotion of Houdini ".He dissects with an especially keen scalpel he does not wield it as one determined to destroy but rather a seeker after truth. Although he has the utmost respect for the honest belief of any person he is the relentless enemy of deliberate fraud and the account of his adventures in the investigation and detection of it forms a valuable chapter in the crusade for the truth." Thus the wrapper is indeed a marvelous historical document in its own right. Not just a mere ornamental cover for a book it stands as a publisher's clever harnessing of the public's endless fascination with the magician and man who was the Great Houdini.</p> Harper & Brothers hardcover
