As many of you may know, LIFE magazine recently posted over 10 million images for the public's use through their website, LIFE.com. Browsing the pictures, I was reminded of Dash Goff's quote referencing traditions and social grace long abandoned by most of the nation, but that can still be found throughout the Deep South.
"...a time before flirting became extinct, when letter writing was an art, stationery was engraved and dinner was an event."
As captured through the lens of LIFE Magazine photographers:
Adm. James L. Holloway aboard the USS Taconic of US 6th fleet, writing letter to his wife. (1958)
Left: A businessman flirting with a young lady after work. (1946) Right: Sample of stationary at Blair House. (1942)
Last year's Queen Elizabeth Ann Davis (C) hosting an intimate formal dinner party for eminate Omaha citizens as a prelude to the Ak-Sar-Ben Coronation Ball, the prime event of the Corn Belt's social season. (1938)Image Credits: LIFE.com
