or that I wouldn’t be able to converse properly. I would even hesitate to join a church in a large city, as I know I would be called upon to help in their ladies’ groups and I don’t feel confident.
This may seem terribly trivial to you, but I do want to help my husband go as far as he can because he has already proved that he has the qualifications, so I’ll appreciate any help you can give me in fulfilling my duties.

First of all, buy yourself a book of etiquette. Get a modern version, and read it carefully. It will give you some important information.
Customs differ in different cities. Eastern and Southern cities are still quite formal in social observances, whereas the West is not so rigid.
Although you have expressed a fear of joining in church activities, I feel that you should affiliate at once and make friends with some older woman whom you admire. Ask her to take you under her wing and help you to get started properly. Don’t be afraid to admit that you seek guidance.
If some of the wives of your husband’s business associates call upon you, it would be proper for you to return the call some afternoon around 3:30, without telephoning in advance. A formal call lasts only twenty minutes, a period so short that you would have no trouble in keeping the conversation rolling.
However, you should remember that all good manners are based upon thoughtfulness. When you entertain, the welfare of your guests is important, not the impression you are making. In planning a dinner find out what sort of menu would be welcome by having your husband observe his associates’ luncheon choice and report to you.
Relax, and you’ll get along fine.
