I've read Emily Post and have even run across an English book on etiquette, dress requirements for the servants, how to lay out a table for formal meals (tea, luncheon, etc) from way back in the early 19th century. Fascinating reading.

Nowadays getting the kids to come to the table with their pants pulled up (boys) and without showing excessive skin (girls) is often more than you can expect. Gee, that kinda dates me now don't it?
