When should a woman become a "Ms"? I have Charlotte Ford's 21st Century Etiquette, and she says that "older" unmarried women are never to be "Miss". What is "older"?

Here, the use of "Miss Mary" does NOT have anything to do with the marital status of the older woman. At least in my area, the most revered women are "Miss INSERT FIRST NAME" whether they are married or not. This status is especially reserved for older women with power and grace to whom you do not have a family connection (i.e. Aunt, etc.)
