The Influence of Narrative on Domestic Happiness

Good temper should be cultivated by every mistress, as upon it the welfare of the household may be said to turn. No style is more extensively acceptable than the narrative because this does not carry an air of superiority over the rest of the company and therefore is most likely to please them. In purchasing articles of wearing apparel, whether it be a silk dress, a bonnet, shawl, or ribbon, it is worn. It cannot be denied that whatever is the prevailing mode in attire, let it intrinsically be ever so absurd, it will never look as ridiculous as another - end quote.
