PREFACE
My book “Manners for Women” has metwith such a kindly reception that I amencouraged to follow it up with the presentlittle volume. Of a less practicalcharacter than the former, it yet followsout the same line of thought, and is thefruit of many years’ observation of mycountrywomen in that home life forwhich England is distinguished amongnations.
