I've got my own copy now! PC for the moment.

Not very satisfying -- fashion tips about veils (a very nice do) and white shoes (never after Memorial Day) are not only outdated, but never take into consideration individual circumstances -- which is odd given the emphasis of individuality in this little tome. Five outfits a day are sufficient for elegance. I will read further and take notes - distilling the essence of this book into less than - oh 250 words.

- plan wardrobe, including accessories, in view of your life
- it is indispensable to own a complete set of accessories and black and, if possible, another in brown plus a pair of beige shoes and a beige straw handbag for the summer
- Alligator is strictly for sports or travel, shoes as well as bags, and this respected reptile should be permitted to retire every evening at 5 pm
-Bright-coloured shoes are only smart when worn in the evening under electric lights with an evening dress (long or short). As for white shoes, they should preferably never be seen on a city street and in any case only in the summer-time when worn with a white dress. With pastel shades, a beige handbag and shoes are smarter than white.
- she had a series of pockets concealed in the lining of her coats (never carried a purse)
- necessary to give thought to accessories and never buy anything on an impulse that does not fit into your well-established program
