      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.

      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.

    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)

    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.

      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.

    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.

      @@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.
