Mind Your Manners
Etiquette expert Charlotte Ford kicks off Antique Festival event.

C
harlotte Ford, daughter of
Henry Ford II, returned to
Detroit on Feb. 20 to speak
about etiquette at the
Community House in Birmingham.
More than 300 luncheon patrons
enjoyed Ford, whose third etiquette
book, 21st Centuly Etiquette, updates her
advice to include attitudes towards the
home and technology two areas where
there are the greatest changes.
The luncheon promoted the 2003
Community House Antiques Festival,
which runs March 14-16.
Ford stressed that manners are really
just common-sense consideration and
respect of others. "Consideration of oth-
ers is essential in times of trouble," she
said. "Bear in mind how words and
actions affect others."
She feels that "good manners are
learned at home," noting that it is not
just children today who need to learn
good table manners. In an age of cell
phones and e-mails, she points out, in
restaurants and other public places it is
best to put your cell phone on vibrate
and tuck it into a pocket.
Her "netiquette" advice includes when
it is all right to use e-mail and when a
handwritten reply is necessary, such as
for thank you notes.
Some of those enjoying her advice
were Shelley Roberts, Roberta Toll,
