520    "The subject of woman, that is to say, the modern woman, 
       with her varying instincts, pursuits, and peculiarities 
       alone would fill many large volumes. I feel bound, 
       therefore, to confine myself to the discussion of one 
       particular side of her nature, one for which personally I 
       have most sympathy, and one which perhaps can best be 
       described by the epithet 'womanly.'" Originally published 
       in 1902, this extremely rare volume offers a remarkable 
       snapshot of the fashionable Edwardian woman. The author - 
       fashion editor for The Lady's Realm, a monthly London 
       magazine for more "enlightened" readers - offers rich 
       counsel on how to cultivate charm and social standing 
       through the subtle art of dress. Illustrated fashion tips 
       feature a wide range of advice on corsets, petticoats, 
       hats, jewelry, footwear, accessories, and more, with 
       chapters on "The All-Important Question of Colour," "Hats 
       Sublime and Ridiculous," "The Revival of Fashions of the 
       Past," and "The Aggressiveness of the Smart Woman." A 
       selection of vintage advertisements for London-area 
       fashion shops is also included.
