This 1936 bestseller created a phenomenon - it sold over 100,000
copies in the first two months of its release. Who can resist a
book with chapters such as 'A Lady and Her Liquor', 'Pleasures of a
Single Bed' and 'Solitary Refinement'? In this priceless gem from a
more genteel age, Marjorie Hillis provides humorous, no-nonsense
advice for the single woman.'This book is no brief for living
alone. Five out of ten of the people who do so can't help
themselves, and at least three of the others are irritatingly
selfish. But the chances are that at some time in your life,
possibly only now and then between husbands, you will find yourself
settling down to a solitary existence . . . The point is that there
is a technique about living alone successfully, as there is about
doing anything really well. Whether you view your one-woman menage
as Doom or Adventure, you need a plan if you are going to make the
best of it'And, lest you worry about how to put all the advice into
practice, every chapter includes a case study providing examples of
women who heeded - and those poor souls who disregarded - Marjorie
Hillis's sterling advice.
