This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

All poor excuses, madame, not to be tolerated in any grade of society. The governess, the employee who is earning the most modest of incomes, can do better with logic as her possession, for her wardrobe will contain all her requirements. And its items shall be at once individual and fitting to the occasion. One year she will add to her store a single evening costume and a single tailor-made dress in which to walk out with her pupils; the next she will find occasion to buy one afternoon gown of ceremony and...
