Etiquette Book: ISO

                     Okay. Here's the info I have:

It's a white linen-look cover. The title is embossed (?) and in black. It might be something like "The Way to Live" (though I'm by no means certain).

The author was an English butler, a Mr. W____ , in service for some 40 years.

The book covers everything from folding napkins to which colognes are "correct" (and one of the colognes mentioned in Captain, by Molyneux, so this edition, at least, is probably post-1975).

Can anyone shed more light on this? I've done a lot of net searching, and come up empty-handed.

Ager's Way to Easy Elegance, by Fiona St. Aubyn, Stanley Ager

Published 1980.

My husband finally remembered the information, but judging from the title, I don't know just what it's going to be....but he found a copy on eBay, so I'll see it soon.

FYI, and all that!
