Does it still exist ? -Etiquette

i was going through a magazine and came across an article "not so modern manners".its about a book that was written over 50 years ago called Etiquette handbook by Barbara Cartsland.
check out some of the things it highlights
JOB HUNTING
Women should wear stockings at an interview and if possible , a hat
THE SMELL OF SUCCESS
Never use cheap scent, much better buy toilet water of an expensive make and use a little more
ON MARRIAGE
Unless she is ill, a woman should get up and cook her husband's breakfastbefore he goes to work in the morning. it is bad manners to do this in curlers ,without lipstick ,in a shabby dressing gown and down in heel slippers
IN THE LIFT
Gentlemen should always their hats off in a lift if there is a lady passenger
AT HOME
Just because you are alone with your husband and not expecting company is no excuse for not looking tidy and neat
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEXES
Women marry men for their money, character or social position . men marry women for their looks. all women know this and make it their very best of their appearance in order to attract men.
FIRST APPEARANCE
I hate the type of boorish individual who,i am told has hidden such a rough surface a heart of gold.Quite frankly,i am a busy person and i dont have time to dig

so which one amazes you the most and which one is not there any more that you would like back?
