Oh! Remember shoes and purses must match when going out? And dark purse until after Memorial Day and light purse until Labor Day. :-)

I still do that.

Do I ever!!!! There are so many rules that aren't anymore. If you wore an evening gown as did Mrs. Obama, then you wore long, white kid gloves. Your shoes were dyed to match your gown. No sparkling jewels for daytime (unless it was a formal occasion). A hat for church and, again, with the kid gloves, and a white lace handkerchief in you purse in case you had to dab your nose (not blow). No flashy, tacky loud colored handkerchiefs — tailored for daytime (maybe a monogram) and lace for evening.

I could go on and on, but I got out of finishing school about the time the world was “finished” with finishing. I've probably forgotten more than anyone remembers.

DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT USING ASPARAGUS TONGS ANYMORE????!!!!! OR GRAPE SNIPS????!!!! OR THAT YOU SIT TO POUR TEA WITH YOUR GLOVES ON?????!!!!! I thought as much. ;-)
