This witty and charming guide, first published in 1935, is a gently satirical guide to being the right sort of girl.
Effortlessly guiding her readers through the troublesome twists and turns of the social whirl, Monica Redlich dispenses advice for every possible encounter - from how to combine kindness with absolute honesty when reassuring friends - "They always say a big nose is a sign of character" - what to say when caught in an awkward situation - "I am trying to get some dust out of poor Freddie's eye" - to the perfect reply on receiving congratulations upon your engagement - "Thank you, Angela darling. I only wish we could find someone for you."
Nice girls once reigned supreme, and with this essential companion they could again. No modern girl should be without it.
