Dorothy Thompson was never married to a U. S. President, but her writings receive almost as wide attention throughout the land as do those of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt (see col. 1). Miss Thompson's husband, Novelist Sinclair Lewis, in his most famed book, Main Street, reached fewer U.

By profession, writer of institutional advertising for Macy's department store, light-verse writer on the side, she is liveliest in razzing those dexterous dopes who figure with such passionless gallantry in the etiquette books of Emily Post and Margery Wilson. On the technical side, she dictates only a bare minimum of ritual. She believes that etiquette should spring from a kind heart; her Golden Rule is "use the head and heart, and let the boiled shirts fall where they may." Etiquetteer Fishback's rules aim to correct the bad manners which come...
