I consider the day a complete success if I didn't have to get more dressed than that!

I had to laugh at the advice from 1949. But, when I think back to my early days of job interviewing (mid-1970's), all the etiquette books for women going on interviews said the best dressed women wear a hat! Also, pre-career, still in college, I sold Tupperware at home parties. Guess what their training manual specified? A hat!
Looking back, both pieces of advice on wearing a hat were ludicrous and out-of-date. One only had to look out a classroom window (Northeastern Univ., back bay of Boston) to see the protest marches coming down Huntington Ave. and the booths set up in the Quad for the Black Panthers/Weathermen/SDS/etc., while listening for evacuation alarms for yet another bomb scare. Wild times. The only hat I would have needed back then would have to have been combat ready! I'm sure we all have stories like this.

I remember I took organ lessons at St. Agatha's Conservatory of Music (now torn down)in St. Paul. Being Lutheran, we didn't have to wear hats or scarves for church services. But Sister Rose Immaculate was really hard when it came to going into the House of God. She said "Where's your hat?" "I don't have one." "Where's your scarf?" "I don't have one."" She reached into a long hidden pocket somewhere in her habit and pulled out a piece of Kleenex, plopped it on my head and proceeded to teach me how to correctly play the organ. Edie
