	Emily Post Institute - Emily Post
		Emily Post was born in Baltimore, Maryland on October 27, 1872 educated by governesses and at private schools in Baltimore and New York.
		Post, who as a girl had been told that well-bred women cannot work, was suddenly a celebrity, an outstanding American career woman, a position she maintained throughout her lifetime.
		Emily Post’s successor, Elizabeth Post, completed her first revision of the basic etiquette book in 1965 and until 1995 updated four major editions, in addition to other books on the subject of etiquette.

		There is a big deposit of sympathy in the bank of love, but don’t draw out little sums every hour or so-so that by and by, when perhaps you need it badly, it is all drawn out and you yourself don’t know how or on what it was spent.
		Born into a wealthy family, Post began her literary career as a novelist.
		Emily Post broadcast on the radio after 1931 and produced a daily column on good taste that was syndicated in more than 200 newspapers.—Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.

		Well, ask the soup slurper: He is Peter Post, great-grandson of the woman who, 46 years after her death, still reigns in the cultural consciousness as the unchallenged arbiter of thank-you notes, wedding receiving lines and how to fold a formal napkin.
		The nucleus of the Post dynasty is a place called the Emily Post Institute, a name that evokes a vast cubicle farm of manners police, or perhaps a 19th-century sanitarium.
		Peter Post notes that he heard from one person who was aghast at attending a wedding reception with a baked-potato bar, and another reception that featured an iPod playlist rather than a traditional DJ (or a once-traditional live band).

		Post, How can I serve a formal dinner for eight without a maid?” In her almost forty years as America’s acknowledged social arbiter, this was the query most often received by Emily Post.
		Emily Post was fifty when the first edition of Etiquette appeared, and until her death at age eighty-seven in 1960, its additions and revisions absorbed most of her time.
		Post’s finishing school,” Kenneth Forward noted in an article in American Speech, “is intended to be, not a cultivated human being, graceful in mind and body and motions, but a sort of extraordinarily house-broken dog.” Despite such carping, both her name and her book have survived, although today her appeal has subsided somewhat.

		Post, great-granddaughter-in-law to the famous Emily, carries on the family business as a recognized authority and frequently interviewed and published author.
		This integration of new material with old, according to Post, follows the same basic principles that underlay Emily Post’s original version—showing respect and consideration for others while placing a premium on honesty, graciousness and deference.
		It is truly a wonder that more Americans don't consider Emily Post's discourses on etiquette one of the most useful reference books published, next to a dictionary, a thesaurus, and a world atlas.

		"Emily knew when she wrote Etiquette: The Blue Book of Social Usage (1922) that it was a time for a reappraisal of the Victorian rules of etiquette.
		Not surprisingly much of what Post advocates is fairly common sense -- decades of casual attitudes still haven't erased most of what we learn as young children -- though most readers will likely need a refresher in some areas.
		Also likely to rise their ire is Post's comfort at the use of e-mail in the place of traditional notes on paper, extending even to sometimes replying to RSVPs electronically.
