I loved this, wondering why we don't have tea parties anymore. The plaid skirt with the white blouse is georgous, I would wear it however being short-waisted I would not be able to have the blouse tucked in. I loved that style though.
at 15:18 , the film's narrator instructs the listener / viewer that "A party is essentially a way of showing friendliness." (And a few good additional things after that, about the entire reason for the get together)
Yeah, it's a perfectly subtle way to show why she's fat. I mean, she's lean by today's standards, but back then she was pretty heavy. There's another difference to today: fatties back then were still pretty athletic.
We had it as part of our elementary school curriculum and then several times a class here and there in what would be the equivalent of junior high, both boys and girls. Of course, nothing as elaborate as this, but we learned how to greet someone, how to sit properly, how to set a table, and so on. Who was interested in more was able to visit courses, though I don't think many people did.
The handwriting alone and I'd be ostracized! But, I would love to have a tea party to display my friendliness and love for socializing though. Also, I LOVE TEA!!
I saw a gaggle of little girls being taught how to take tea along with their mothers. Each mother delighted in telling her daughter, "Pinkies Out!" The instructor/hostess and I damn near had a bout of apoplexy. And that was a mere four years ago.
Mrs. Brown's R.S.V.P. handwriting (shown at around 6:50) is beautiful. I had to learn handwriting in the early 80's. I mostly disliked it (especially some awkward capital letters), and my mom says my signature is like a doctor's prescription pad. At least no one would ever be able to forge it, as I did hers on one test that I flunked.
When I was a kid in Catholic school someone thought we students could use a class in manners and etiquette so a woman came for a few classes. I wouldn't say we were crude but it was the 60s in a very rural part of our state (protecting the GUILTY by not saying where). Needless to say we gave the poor woman " the business " as they used to say on Leave It To Beaver. We felt insulted that someone thought we needed lessons in manners and etiquette.
Isn't 'Barbara' played by the same young lady who played the role of 'Betty' in 1945's 'The Dinner Party'? I haven't Googled or anything yet, but the resemblance is striking.

Karina Mandarina that’s not the point of the video you can still stand out without being a snob. She literally acts too good for this..not cute quite childish. No wonder society dwindled.
@@sofiabravo1994 Don't project your fears or personal objections. I'm against the gradual diminishing of etiquette, manners and values of society. I like this kind of videos or lessons and try to live them as well. Same as you, I presume. But what I see in the video is that this girl Ann is more relaxed than the other girls. And childish or not, she kind of just feels easygoing and happy, whether or not she should learn to be more gracious or anything. And anyway... having etiquette shouldn't mean to downsize character or "uniqueness" as I see in the other two girls.
@kms50138, There is NO SUCH THING, as "autistic", you have been lied to and punked by the "medical industrial Complex", to hand over money, to them, until you are broke, What a sucker, you are.
"The smart woman learns to dress in a way that suits her personality." And there you have it. Fitted Ramones tee shirts, Doc Martens and Mini Skirts, with net fingerless gloves and red and pink streaks in my hair suit MY personality. Anne---if you are out there--- if we could switch up and split the games--half basketball, half Eurpopean Football/Soccer we will have a lot more fun than--I don't know what they did for entertainment. I was thinking about a soccer/basketball combo--or wait--Roller Derby!!
10:25 Anne looks great in that suit. I am so glad my mother taught us etiquettes. These days, American girls lack manners and have no sense of style. They walk around in yoga pants for every occasion. Despicable!
It's hard to party plan now. One of the things that I have issues with now is that ppl don't know how to RSVP. They don't....or they do then don't show up without an explanation. Etiquette and just common courtesy is dying.
Barbara is now the president of your HOA and she is horrible. Ann has been living with her "partner" for 40 years. June has been Barbars "beard" for 30 years, and Corrine is now the local bartender at the Moose lodge in Wisconsin. She's twice divorced, her children hate her, she has 10 cats.
What is Ann even doing in the club? She doesn't fit there. Coreen carries the club. She looked absolutely delightful 7:10 other need to step up the game.
Fountain pens and hand written invitations. Talk about a blast from the past.
Coreen is bored...very bored....Hilarious!
I love this video...a true time capsule of the '40's. I've watched it several times over the years.
Fun to time travel.

I love how Anne is just always eating, that's a mood.
And chewing gum and belching when she's supposed to be greeting people gracefully. She probably farted, too.
@@swellybibbsenterprises5185 🙄 sure buddy

I went through Etiquette Schooling in the early 90s and I am very glad I did!
Where?

why would you be ostracised for handwriting?
So mind-numbingly mundane in 1946, so fascinating to watch in 2020.
I saw a gaggle of little girls being taught how to take tea along with their mothers. Each mother delighted in telling her daughter, "Pinkies Out!" The instructor/hostess and I damn near had a bout of apoplexy. And that was a mere four years ago.
I wish we still did things like this.
It's the handwriting for me.... we need handwriting classes to return, and kids need to learn cursive again.
That's true.
Handwriting, if I can remember correctly, was in class called "Language Arts" for me, from grades 5th 6th - HS
Agree!
And how to count change, read an analog clock and a map 🗺

Today we should teach this in schools and parents should teach this too, perhaps kids would grow up with respect for themselves and others !
Yes I agree
I adore watching these videos 💞
Anyone else disappointed it isn't outdoors? Teas seem more bearable and enjoyable when there's sunlight and fresh air to be had.
Nah….don’t want to get sunburnt before the widespread use of sunscreen
"Etiquette itself is simply the way one polite person shows consideration for one another." To the point.
I bet Ann grew up to be a gym teacher!
Wow what a roller coaster! I really thought Coreen was going to bomb, but she pulled through.

I love how coreen doesnt give a shit lol
I am giving a tea for myself today but I'm a guy and damned if I'm going to wear a tea dress.
😁
I feel like wearing a tea dress would have made the tea even more fun.

I think you're right. I wonder who these people were in real life.

Hahaha, Ann is cool, and funny; and apparently she's the one that stands out from the crowd.

I actually looked up a pattern for barbaras formal tea dress because it to pretty not to wear.
Love this
Haha...t his video is funny. wearing a fur coat to a tea (as the hostess) LOL
Who else here is an autistic girl relieved to have some form of instructions for social interaction however outdated?

This was so well done ! 🏆
The way Coreen is looking the stylist up and down looks like flirting
why did Ann even join this club? lol
Probly her mom
How was she accepted in? Connections?
doubt it helped her in life
good manners makes me happy
They forgot the Tequila.
Girls were so elegant back then 😍
Stirring in circles, clanging the spoon, pinkie out. And that's the stylist!
Very interesting
awww...Poor Ann...

Bohemian Bedouin - I couldn’t agree more! Gee if people from 70 years ago saw women and girls today I bet they would faint.
2020 is an amazing year, multiple people mistook my yoga pants as work pants because now they make so many types lmao
Pajama bottoms too...
She doesn't... The cut is wrong
I like Ann. Ann was me as a teenager.
I'm sorry for you
XD Ann is cool
Ann seems like fun. I’d like to hang out with her.
It's hard to party plan now. One of the things that I have issues with now is that ppl don't know how to RSVP.
They don't....or they do then don't show up without an explanation. Etiquette and just common courtesy is dying.
2018?
9:16 Daaaaamn, Corrine is just camp and these chicks are NOT having it hahaha
That would be a vey Atlanta video today
These videos are like kryptonite to hood girls
And your mother
❤❤

👍
9:01 lol hit the mic
I need to learn how to write better
Why doesn’t the narrator just call Mary “the fat one”? We all know that’s what he’s thinking. And is this an SNL skit?
Be yourself and make tea?
Thank god for the 1960s.
Doug Tarnopol more like thank your god. The 60s were a mistake.
@@sofiabravo1994 Even Sinatra '65?
This is a sequel to the 1942 classic _Let's Give A Nasty Dose Of Gonorrhea To The Varsity Lacrosse Team._
What is Ann even doing in the club? She doesn't fit there.
Coreen carries the club. She looked absolutely delightful 7:10 other need to step up the game.
I need a box of Dramamine to watch this piss poor quality video. Blocking channel.
Good old times? I am Not so sure. To me it looks like a lot of pressure on women 😮
@christajanzen8447, It is like you say, all the time, "Women should be seen and not heard from", now get in the kitchen, where you belong
Anne belongs in the "How to lose weight" video. She should be avoiding the "Let's have a Tea" videos until she has lost several pounds.
While Tess needs to learn some manners and not body shame people.
Absolutely disgraceful. You are watching a video on manners and etiquette, yet it did not cross your mind that this was inappropriate to say?
