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.

Original, unabridged text.

Strikingly designed with original illustrations and many period photographs.

About the Author:
Monica Redlich was an English journalist, author and social commentator. She was born in 1909 in Lincolnshire, and brought up in London and the Midlands – her father was Canon Theologian of Leicester. Following her marriage to a Danish diplomat, Sigurd Christensen, in 1937, Monica moved first to Copenhagen, where she remained throughout the war years, and then to New York where her husband became Danish Consul General. Her books include Everyday England, Jam Tomorrow, Summer Landscape and Danish Delight. She died in Copenhagen in 1963.
From the Back Cover:
‘What do you look like? What is your type of beauty? Do not be surprised at this question. You dress according to your looks, I know, but do you behave to suit them? The following brief table will, I hope, make clear how much added pleasure you can give to your partners at dances by truly being yourself.

If you have good teeth, be radiant.
If you are very thin, be serious.
If you are well-developed, avoid the polka.
If you are dark, be sympathetic.
If you are blonde, be bright.’
