Marjorie Post and The Book You Must Read if You Are a Soon to Be Etiquette Expert
For etiquette experts, Marjorie Post’s life is a masterclass in the art of social graces and influence.
This has been one of my favorites books so far in 2024. I did not want it to end.
I have had the pleasure of touring two of her homes. Hillwood located in Washington DC and Mar -a – Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
The story of her life is a fascinating journey, especially for those of us with a passion to teach etiquette and social graces.
