But tried to put up a false face,
For propriety must be had
In the perfect wife role and place.
Hubby’s affairs took a press course,
And she was forced to undergo
A nasty and public divorce.
But then she carried on as though
She was still the well mannered wife.
Her maid was like her chaperone,
At her side in her public life.
But at home she was all alone.

The name that still comes up the most
On etiquette – Emily Post.
