AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Domestic tale. Frank Ivan suggests to his wife that she should give up reading and being a 'blue' to become a fashionable society woman. She defers to his wishes for six months, changing their home utterly, having little time for him or the children, until he buys her a book himself and she happily returns to her old ways. Light satire. ('Blue' is carefully distinguished from a woman's rightist). (PB)
