Excerpt from Mrs. De La Rue Smythe
You don't say so! I exclaimed, and sat thinking over this astonishing revelation, while Mrs. De la Rue Smythe, nodding her head at me with a sweet smile of encouragement, waited for further confidences. They did not come, for 1 had forgotten what I had said, and was idly wonder ing what difference it would make to posterity if women thought as much Of Hygiene as they do of Fashion' Presently Mrs. De la Rue Smythe lost patience, which, however, brought no frown upon her face. Frowns are luxuries which Mrs. Smythe cannot allow herself. AS I have remarked elsewhere, they tend to destroy symmetry, and can only be in dulged in by those to whom symmetry has been denied. She showed her feeling by a sharp tap of the crested spoon against her cup.

Mrs. De La Rue Smythe is exceptionally opinionated about the issues affecting the changing class structure, the roles of women, and the ethics of those who have more wealth than they know what to do with.
