WEAR BLACK, BRING FLOWERS

Etiquette expert Elizabeth Post died on Saturday. She was 89.

She was the granddaughter-in-law of the legendary Emily Post, but Elizabeth was an expert in her own right. Besides revising Emily's book five times, she wrote several books of her own and had a Good Housekeeping column for 35 years.

Condolences can be sent to the Emily Post Institute in Burlington, Vermont. Notes should be hand-written; pre-printed condolence cards are never acceptable.

At a formal dinner, white tie and dinner gowns, what is the proper way to acknowledge your dinner parter letting go an an exquisite noisy and smelly fart?

Is it Hip Hip Horray? Hussar! Good One, Top That, My Gawd that must have left a skid mark? What did you eat?

Please send your advice, I have a very important party to attend and do not want want to appear as a bumpkin.
