Summary: Old fashioned but never out of style
Comment: This is such a sweet book and very interesting. It is old fashioned of course but the advice contained is as relevant as ever. Advice such as don't try and be a performer and remain interested in other people without focusing on eclipsing them is never going to go out of style. The essence of charm, according to this book, is really to mind your manners but also be yourself and be considerate of others. A lot of the beauty advice as well is still relevant too. A lovely read for a Sunday afternoon.

Summary: Charming, but as a glimpse of the past.
Comment: I enjoyed this brief read, but more as a relic of how my great-grandmother lived than as a guide with much contemporary usefulness. The authors are, appropriately, very charming, and some of the advice is still relevant, but if it's a practical guide you're looking for, I would suggest the goddess of etiquette, Judith Martin.

Summary: A charming read from the past
Comment: At a young age I found a beauty and lifestyles manual from the 1930s/1940s in my local public library. Sadly that title is no longer in the stacks. "Better Than Beauty: A Guide to Charm" is a wonderful substitute. To the modern eye, the advice on fashion and exercise may seem out of date. But some basic facts will never change. A well groomed lady is always a welcome creature.
