On Saturday, January 10, the Saugus Public Library will host Janet Parnes, of Historical Portrayals by Lady J, as The Etiquette Expert of 1890. Guests will step into late-Victorian America to discover life at the turn of the century – the era of corsets, calling cards, and decorum. Proper Victorian lady Mrs. Russell Parsons will guide attendees through the intricacies of tea drinking, fan language, ball etiquette, fashion, a courtship catastrophe, and more.
The Etiquette Expert of 1890 will take place on Saturday, January 10, 1:30-2:30 pm, at the Saugus Public Library 295 Central Street, Saugus. The performance is free. No registration required. Questions? Call the library at 781-231-4168 or visit our web site.
